Final Reflection for ePortfolio
In order to create the Position Synthesis essay, I had to collect information from
specific cites in the internet regarding to the topic I was inspired on about health and
wellness in humans. I made a brainstorming of ideas for preparing to develop my annotated
bibliography to conduct a thorough research. I made some drafts with paragraphs of my
thesis statement. When I finished writing the drafts of my work, I combined the paragraphs
together and then read them and revised the grammar on them and checked if they needed
to be improved. In general, what I did was first to think about the subject and the sources
where I could gather well appropriate information, with this I mean confident web cites.
Next, I started to write the paragraphs introducing my thesis, then the body, and finally the
conclusion of the essay. Last but not least, I considered revising each section of my essay to
see if everything was placed in order, sounded good, and it fulfilled with all the
requirements.
In the process of writing my position synthesis, I learned to organize the essay with
the structure of an introduction paragraph with a lead-in or hook, a brief relevant
background, and a thesis statement; some body paragraphs, each containing the

corresponding information relating to the sources of my annotated bibliography and
summarizing them to let the reader understand the purpose of my work as a whole; a
counterargument paragraph to accommodate or refute my views respecting to the issue of
healthiness and wellness; a satisfactory conclusion reflecting my purpose on this essay; and
a last individual page showing my works cited. All of these aspects were related to the main
topic about health and wellness in persons but I was making sure each paragraph
respectively had the right information describing the issues of the sources I chose, quoting
and citing as well to add balance, persuasion, and comprehension to my work.
As a writer, I consider my main strengths were focused in making the research and
finding the right information of my subject. It is a fact that I enjoyed doing this rigorous
investigation because I was able to learn much about the topic too, and I think the reader
can see that in my position synthesis because it is so thoroughly described and with the
intention of letting him know about the importance of healthy diets, regular exercise,
hydration, and well rest in us, not only for loosing weight, but for preventing disease as
well.
