Prompt: Reflect on your writing process for essays. Which part of writing an essay do you struggle with the most (for example: developing a thesis, organizing ideas, finding strong evidence, writing introductions, or explaining your analysis)? Which parts of essay writing do you feel most confident about? Explain why you feel strong in those areas and what specifically makes the challenging part difficult for you. Include at least one goal for how you plan to improve your essay writing skills.

 When writing an essay, I struggle the most with commentary. After finding the evidence I can usually explain the evidence in one sentence. So to have to write three sentences of commentary was the most difficult. In an essay I feel most confident about the concluding sentences for each paragraph and the concluding paragraph. I feel I'm good a summing things up and finding lessons and meanings in things. I plan to expand my mind more when it comes to commentary.
