Blog #12

Debrief & Reflect on Price’s “The Plastic Pink Flamingo” timed write. Use the Debrief & Reflection handout in the Blog Locker


Self-Check:

  1. Yes, I believed I answered the prompt. However, I should of explained it more, since this is my second time essay and I'm not use to it yet, I rushed through the explanation of Price's view on American culture. 
  2. Even though my intro was not so good, I did have a clear thesis statement.
  3. My essay was focused around the theme. My paragraphs were linked, however my transition between the introduction and first paragraph wasn't too good.
  4. I focused on the imagery and tried to give evidences on it, but I feel like I should of also include the Price's diction. 
  5. I used quotes from the text to support my thesis. Also, I tried my best to explain my analysis.
Reflection:

  1. I managed to have time to organized and be able to finished the essay on time. I have quotes to support my thesis and my paragraphs were linked together.
  2. What didn't went so well is I didn't have time to reread my essay. Since I finished right before the time ended. I didn't have any times left to go over it one more time.
  3. If I have more time, I would reread what I wrote, and maybe I will catch those misspelled words or those awkward sentences.
  4. Yes, my organization on the essay turn out how I wanted it. 
  5. As I was writing, I began to understand more and more on Price's writing, and those details that I did not catch when I first read through it. 
  6. If we have another time essay, I would quickly start the intro. I always have problem trying to write the introduction of each essay, and that is what killed most of my time.
