What new information have I learned from these assignments?
I learned a different style of poetry and how to grade and evaluate my own and others’ work. What did I learn about myself the last few weeks? I learned that I am a fast worker and can almost write good poetry. I learned that I am a good motivational writer for at least myself. What surprised me about what I learned? I was surprised by how simple poetry can be and what classifies as poetry. How quickly was I able to finish this work? Almost always the same day it was assigned. Sometimes a few extra minutes were required elsewhere but it was always in on time. Where were my roadblocks? Trying to ignore everyone around me who was talking or laughing or being annoying in general. Also not knowing exactly what to write. Or how to say something I wanted to. How did I move through roadblocks or challenges? I left the room sometimes. I thought about what I wanted to say, how it would sound and what it meant and then I wrote it down and revised later. Is my work adapted for the correct, appropriate audience? I believe so. It is nothing too personal. It is informative, sometimes positive, it is hopefully well written. How closely did I follow the parameters of the assignment? As closely as possible but without seeming too uniform or too similar to what was seen before. Using the grade rubric, how would I score my own work? I would score myself just below excellent or above average. Not to sound cocky but I think I am a good writer and all of my work is well done or just right. Not perfect though because nothing is every truly perfect and the grading scale of “perfection” is hard to determine. What would the teacher say about my work? I think she would say it is well done and some spots could use improvement. Also that I am an efficient worker and that I always get work in on time and that our seniors have been doing excellent work. If given the opportunity, one thing I would change about this assignment is … I don’t know. I am not too confident on my ability to grade other and my own writing. Otherwise I am really not sure. How does my work compare to what my classmates did on this assignment? I think my work is pretty good compared to my classmates. I saw some pretty lazy writing while peer grading and it actually became frustrating. A lot of my classmates have very little initiative to get work done and get it done well. However that does not speak for all of them. I am sure many of my peers are excellent writers and I can only hope that they think my writing is nearing exemplary. Does my work truly reflect my effort? I hope so, I try my best. Though I know it is not always as good as it could be. Have I achieved the goal I set for myself with this assignment? Possibly? I want to learn to write better and to match the criteria. What would I do differently next time, if given the chance? Spend a little bit longer on my work and pinpoint the criteria. Focus more clearly on my writing. Am I proud of my work? Yes and no. I want my work to be better but I know that I am steadily improving.

And asks where I am Who is crystals and rocks Who is glasses and a cup of coffee Whose hair is cream colored Is too stressed to make herself dinner Who tells me I am beautiful Who says I will do great things Who’s the best to hug Won’t rest for a day Sings in the kitchen and the car all the time Who loves to listen to him sing Is radiant Is a sunbeam on an autumn day Is sore rest her feet Doesn’t talk to her brother anymore Is meditating in her free time Who tells me to use my heart and my head Is magic and old movies and frenchie dogs Who speaks too loud, too loud, too loud Talking again Is the dusk sun on the trees against grey clouds Isn’t it pretty Isn’t it pretty to you? I DON’T LIKE IT HERE
