Conference One Report and Reflection

Conference One Report & Reflection

During my meeting we talked about how I was always present in class and that there are some things I need to work on and some things I am doing well in. I need to work on the Integrating Ideas and Academic Conversations portions. I had a lot of OKs and a few Not Yets. I struggled a bit with introducing the quote and my purpose was not always clear on what I was trying to introduce. I tried hard when writing essays on using signal phrases but in some places, I used it awkwardly. On the voice markers I just need to used voice markers more and I can do this by using the template. On the Reading Process I just need to ask more questions and write more about why I thought something was surprising or what made me question something. My writing process needs work, I need work on using introducing new implications or conclusions because I was reconsidering my thought process. On engagement I felt like that was my biggest asset because I was always in class and I am engaged. The only thing I need to work on is making sure I read and do all of the homework.

I have used the techniques of introducing the quote and then explaining the quote and then stating my thoughts about it in other classes. Like in my Environmental Issues class I needed to state quotes so I used the technique of introducing then summarizing and then giving my thoughts. I am always engaged and give a persistent effort in everything I do whether it’s in class or in sports mainly because I don’t like slackers. I feel most confident about learning from my failures. When I made a mistake in one of my early papers in English I fixed it then I was quick to fix when I made it again and now I don’t make that same mistake. I have a good understanding about the value of writing in my life because I will be writing for the rest of my life and I want and would rather be good at it than be bad
