This portfolio shows my development as a writing student during this semester. At the beginning of the semester, I thought that writing was easy – after all, I´ve always liked writing. I would just look at the blank sheet of paper in front of me and I would start telling my story.
However, I didn´t know that, in order to produce a well-written essay, there are some specific techniques that have to be observed. Learning how to distinguish an expository, a narrative, a comparative and an argumentative essay, and also that there is a thesis statement and a topic sentence for each one of them was invaluable to me.
Moreover, the essays represented a good writing experience, although I´ve chosen the narrative essay as my favorite. When I read the narrative essay after finishing it, I had the feeling that I was able to really connect to the reader and bring him/her into my reality.
To conclude, the writing abilities that I have acquired during this semester will help me write better as a TDC student. For instance, whenever I need to answer questions on a test, I´ll have the skills to write well. Most importantly, as a teacher, I´ll have the skills to identify my students´ mistakes and give them proper feedback, which will help them write better.
