Assignment Title: Q3 End of Unit: Macbeth theme in society

Student Writing Goal: My writing goal is to be able to score 80% or more on all off the assignments that were given. I
want to also expand my word choices and be able to stay on topic and no get off track or repeat words and phrases.

Instructions:
1) Re-read the paper (and teacher feedback).
2) Complete this reflection sheet.
What was the purpose of this writing assignment?

The purpose in this writing is to demonstrate how the theme of blind ambition, and fate in Macbeth is seen in
modern society. You choose a topic between the two and use three examples of how it is demonstrated in our
society. Once you find your three examples you find articles to help support your examples, and per
paragraph of explanation you use two quotes to support claim.
How did you perform in relation to the expectations of the writing rubric?

I believe I performed well among the expectations of the rubric. Even though a few sentences were a bit out
of order or have little to none correlation of what my quotes are supposed to prove. I had stuck with the main
topic of it all without getting wildly side tracked or out of context. Even the this essay was a bit of a challenge
for me due to having a struggle finding exact articles to support my claims. I like to tell myself I stuck well
within what was expected for this essay

What aspect of this piece did you do well? (give example/quotes to support claims)

I think I did well of not “talking to the paper” as much as my old essays. I would use a lot of “that quotes
mean”. which isn’t a proper introduction to explaining the quotes I’ve choose I believe I did well on
expanding my word choices. There is not a lot of repetitive words in there which is good. Also I did pretty
good on adding a comma after a transaction words or introduce quote.
Why have you/haven’t you chosen to revise this writing assignment?

I have chosen to revise this essay because I think it might’ve been one of my best. Even though I had turn it in
late which isn’t something new. Compared to my other essay there seems to be not a lot of mistakes. Which is
really good and it means I am somewhat improving in my writing.

What will you do better in your next writing assignment, and how will I do it?

Next time in my writing I will be sure to re read and try to make sure my sentences make sense. At times I
just type and don’t reread and my sentence end up sounding awkward and do not correlate with that I’m
trying to explain. Also I have to start paying attention to little things in my writing, such as coma and etc.
 those are little mistake that can add up to be a hot mess in my writing.
To what degree of success did you achieve your previously stated goal(s)?

I only reached a few of my goals from my previous writing goals. Such as managing to stay somewhat on
topic. At times I did explain to much about what the quote means rather how it ties to ambition and Macbeth.
Also I did expand my word choices in the essay, since I realize this now in my essay only I find repeated
words annoying. I did score an 80 on black board however on the grade book that is a different story.
