    Letter of reflection

    To Ms. Newman,

    Throughout this class I have learned a lot. Particularly I have learned to write very strong theses and how to actively read. Although, there is a lot I can improve on in my writing. Firstly, I have to use more academic writing. Next, I have to learn how to write more specific theses. Some of the good things that I do are my organization of my paragraphs and how my conclusions. At this point in this class, I would give myself a B+ in this class.


    Sincerely,
    Mohammed Hoque

    Feedback questions

    What did you do well?
    I used strong information to support the Cat's Cradle section of my essay.
    
    What do you need to work on?
    I did not use enough information to sufficiently address my thesis on the A Clockwork Orange section of my essay.
    
    How you will use this knowledge to strengthen future essays?
    I have to put the same amount of effort on both sides of my essay and I have to see both 
    sides of my thesis.
    
    What grade would you have given yourself?
    I would give myself a B- for this assignment.
    
    
    What questions do you have?
    How can I improve my thesis further?
