English

TS-This year was truly shocking to me and my writing ability. SD- Ever since elementary school I have always struggled with spelling.CM- I still remember taking spelling tests and seeing many red X’s marked on my paper. Spelling has always been and still is one of my weaknesses in writing, thank god for spell check. SD-Before I came to Pine Point there was no English class. CM- Language Arts was our English class, and all we did was read passages from a short stories and answer questions.CM-I was not accustom to writing essays on a weekly basis, so it was a big shocker when I sat down and tried to write my first essay.SD- Some things that I need to work on when writing my essays are,” putting more meat on the bone”. CM-The essays that I write could definitely use some more detail and style. CM-I believe all essays that have a unique style, detail, and substance are always the more fun and enjoyable essays to read. CS-So far this year I think I have done alright with writing, but there is still a lot of space to improve.
