1. In the Child Soldiers Essay I am most proud of myself that I managed to use Noodle Tools and undrestand the MLA format.
2. I struggled the most on the word choice I was using to become a better writer.
3. Reading and writing about child soldiers perpare me better to select and do research for my passion project, because through mini-lessons I learned to skim through articles, take notes, identify key words, and more.
4. I think that in my writing I need to work on organizing my evidence with the right topic, and focus a little bit more on word choice. When I received my rubric back after it was graded i was at a level I needed to improve more on organization. Also, because organization has been a problem since last year for me. I would also like to improve on my word choice, because I feel like I'm not thinking a lot on my word choices when I write. Also, to become a better writer and when I've been reading, I felt and learnt that word choice matters a lot. I would want to make at least 3 different word choices, check all of my evidence if it goes together, and check if all of my evidence have an analysis.
