Metacognitive Blog: And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None was my first essay of 9th grade.  There were many changes from my first essay to my final.  Some changes I made to my final essay include punctuation, not saying the same details over and over again, adding more commentary, and more improved vocabulary.  Sharing an essay with an adult was the most helpful support for me in this essay because my mom didn't know the book so she could tell me if it made sense, and she also helped remind me about my punctation which was really helpful.  Having my mom revise my essay was also most helpful because she read my whole essay as like a teacher would read it to see if it is organized and isn't confusing.  The teachers comments were also very helpful too though to see what I need to improve in my writing and change for future essay's.  To continue improving throughout this year mostly what would help me is continuing to getting feedback from adults, and teachers to see what I can do better.  Other than that I think the only other thing would be continuing to practice with grammar and punctuation.  I think some places I have room to grow as a writer this year would be to be more concise in my writing and less redundant.  Also I think I could improve my spelling, and use of strong words.  Overall, I think that many techniques have helped me improve as a writer but I will continue to improve more this year too!
