Unit 1 Reflection

The definition of academic writing is to be able to understand how to be writer that has an argument, evidence and analysis. It's something that I've been trying to master since my days in high school and all I can say is that I don't even come to close to being a great academic writer. For example, throughout these past four weeks, I was able to learn how I need to be able to use TEA more than ever before. Sure back in my high school days, my teachers were pretty lenient with not always using TEA on each of your body paragraph, but now that I'm in college, my professor's will be strict when it comes to that.

I never really was a great academic reader, but ask me to write you a poem or a diary, and I will ensure you that I will make you think about life and feel like if you were the one who was heartbroken and lost someone important in life. But anyways, the class activities were able to make me realize that their is more to it than just using TEA, you need to work with your classmates and dig even deeper in the reading and trying to find a deeper meaning why visual images and texts can help us read the world and found our true identity.

I believe that my essay wasn't the best but even though there wasn't really a specific and it's about myself, the amount of freedom I had with this essay was pretty interesting but I was struggling trying to find a way how to be able to connect more with Freire and Albers as I had the evidence but I felt like my analysis wasn't strong enough. Overall I felt like my essay was okay but not my greatest paper.
