March 5th Prompt: write about your first body paragraph

 Response: I found this time that writing the claim for me was relatively easy. I had a hard time finding the exact evidence but the analysis was pretty easy to connect back to the claim from there.

Prompt: Today we discussed why academic writing must reflect your own thinking and understanding rather than relying on artificial intelligence to generate your ideas. After learning about the expectations for authentic writing, reflect on why it is important for students to write essays in their own words.

 Response: It is important to write your own essays so you can benefit from the work. If you are not thinking critically and challenging yourself to work hard, you will not develop the skills you need to be successful in the work place.

March 3 Prompt: Today we focused on constructing a strong literary argument paragraph about Wild and whether discomfort is necessary for meaningful personal growth. After working through the claim-evidence-analysis structure, explain which part of the paragraph was most challenging for you and why. Do you find it more difficult to create an arguable claim or to move beyond summary in your analysis?

 Response: I usually find the claim part the hardest since its hard for me to get started. The evidence is easy because its really just the quote and some context. When I do the analysis it's not that difficult either when I already have the claim since i'm just connecting the evidence to it. 

March 2nd Prompt: Reflect on your experiences with essay writing. What aspects of writing essays do you find most engaging or challenging? Discuss your personal strengths as a writer as well as specific areas where you experience difficulty or would like to improve. Support your reflection with clear examples from your own writing experiences.

 Response: I personally love writing essays, especially argumentative ones. I love the creative aspect and how I can take time to put my thoughts onto paper. In my middle school we had to write lots of essays. So many that I began to enjoy writing them. I can write for hours and not get bored.
