Student Writing Goal: . When it comes to writing, one could point out all their weak aspects of their writing.

will start slow by choosing one of my weakest elements of my writing and focus specifically on that until I
see improvements.

Instructions:
1) Re-read the paper (and teacher feedback).
2) Complete this reflection sheet.
3) Revise the paper accordingly and highlight any changes.
4) Submit the revision and this reflection sheet.

What was the purpose of this writing assignment?

- The purpose of this assignment was to pick a theme in society that relates to the story of Macbeth.
There were many topics to choose from such as ambition, power, mental and emotional etc. I ended
up going with appearance vs reality because it's a topic that is seen everyday today.

How did you perform in relation to the expectations of the writing rubric?
- In relation to the expectations of this rubric, I believe I did amazing with this writing. This rubric
helped me understand the meaning behind appearance vs reality in the story and out in the real world
as well. I'm proud with what I scored on this assignment because I know how hard I tried to get it
done.

What aspect of this piece did you do well? (give example/quotes to support claims)
- I believe I provided everything that was needed although I did have to make some changes while
proof reading it. I provided enough evidence and explanation to each quote to make the reader
understand what the theme (appearance vs reality) is and how it’s seen today.

Why have you/haven’t you chosen to revise this writing assignment?

- I have chosen to revise this writing assignment because there were some mistakes I had done starting
with contractions. I always seem to forget to not use contractions when it comes to essays which is
hard not writing them since I’m so used to using them. I also had to change words that Ms. Figueroa
pointed out to me that should not be used when writing essays which are “us, we, I etc.”

What will you do better in your next writing assignment, and how will I do it?
 - In my next assignment I will try to improve on not using contractions and first-person words. In this
rubric I was impressed with my transition words and hook that I used to grab the reader's attention,
but I still believe I need to work on my hook and transitioning into the next quote.

To what degree of success did you achieve your previously stated goal(s)?
- This has been by far one of my best essays I have written that I’m actually proud of. I believe I have
improved so much throughout these quarters when writing these rubrics. I have achieved many
writing goals throughout this journey and I know I will learn and improve more.
