Metacognitive; And There Were None

So what I specifically changed from my draft to my final draft of the And Then There Were None essay was mostly the away it all flowed together. A lot of my essay didn't really flow right at first, so I had to do some revising and work on transitions. Also I tried to make the part where I wrote as Vera Claythorne a lot more clear, because at first it dint really make sense. The form of support that helps me the most was the combination of both your notes on my timed writing and peer editing. Your notes really help me, because I know exactly what your looking for and I know what outthink I need to improve more on, and I can put extra focus in those areas. The peer review is helpful, because I can see if it makes sense to other people too. I think as a teacher its easier to understand a students writing better, but if a peer doesn't really get what I'm tarring to say, I know what to change. I think that these two things will defiantly help me improve my writing throughout the year. Eventually ii will get better at writing fluently, and all my spelling errors will hopefully go away. I think I have a lot of room to grow with formal writing. I have trouble writing formal essays that sound nice, they always kind of turn out weird, so a goal I have is to improve that. And id also like to just be overall better at writing stories.

  1. Hello,
    I liked the suspense build in the first paragraph. I also liked the creative similes that you used during the passage. Another thing I liked was the foreshadowing, and how it gave a away just enough to plant a seed in the readers conscious without giving away the ending. I have a few questions one is how does she know who the person is and how does she connect the dream to reality. A suggestion is just to build on the future murder and how she knows. Great Story.
