As I was editing my And Then There Were None essay, some specific changes I made were: stronger word choice, a stronger conclusion sentence, and adding some more depth to my essay. Using the feedback that I got from the supports, I changed some of the words that are used often, and had some variation to make my essay more creative. I also tried to make a stronger conclusion sentence and added more commentary to my essay. The peer edit helped me the most because I got input from two people about many different areas of writing in which I could improve. I think expanding the amount of time I put into reading will help me improve my writing. I want to read a lot more and learn from analyzing the stories in English on how to make myself a better writer. A goal I have this year is to improve on grammar. Specifically, I want to improve on not writing a lot of run-on sentences, as this is something I have struggled with in the past.
I am glad that the supports were helpful! It is very mature of you to know that increasing your reading can help you to become a better writer. Knowing that is impressive! Also, we will specifically work on run on sentences this year, so you're in luck!
