The Review

In the past class, we used this process where the writer go over one paragraph at a time. Within the process the writer chooses a rand paragraph, re reads it and see if it connects to the thesis of the essay. Afterwards, the writer then reads the thesis of the paragraph to see if it connects to the thesis of the sway and relates to what the paragraph will be about. After reviewing this, the writer would continue on for the rest of their paragraphs. This work very well for me due to the fact that I had paragraphs with topic sentences that wouldn't relate to the thesis statement. So I would have do this process until every sentence in every paragraph expand and defend my thesis statement.

Student teacher conference

In my previous student teacher conference, I was able to go through some important aspects of my draft that needed to be reviewed. One main and only issue was my sentence/paragraph structure. Since middle school, I always had an issue with structuring my paragraphs. I had great ideas but i was never great at putting it down the best way possible. So entering this conference, I knew i would have to explain that my structure was off. Revealing this made me a little better due to the fact that I knew i could get better at it. There are many resources around me that could aid my ability to structure my paragraphs. This would also lead to the fact that I know what I want to write, so its not a major issue to dwell upon.

Using Outlines

Creating an outline for my essay was a bit of a challenge which has its benefits. The challenge about creating an outline was the background. Since I'm focusing on the issue of pressure among students, rather than the topic of school itself, I had had to be more specific on what I'm discussing on. In my background i focused on the usage of SATs for students to be admitted into the specific college they want. I wrote about how getting into college was a lot easier decades ago. The standards and criteria needed to be admitted into college was a lot lower than what it is in modern day society. The benefits in creating an outline would be that i have a complete visual of what my essay would look like. With transition sentences, I could easily finish a draft of my essay by justing using the detailed outline i created.
