Portfolio #11: Metacognitive Analysis (OLD VERSION)


Metacognitive analysis:

         The aptitude to write methodized is essential to all the students, and after facing challenges of writing I am in my way to achieve a better method to do it. Every time I write something, I felt better and complacent about my progress. For example, during the first years at college, writing was not clear and burdensome for me. Furthermore, topics were not intriguing, and after a uninteresting sentence, we were told to develop a story. As still another instance, I used to use few synonyms, antonyms, linking words which made the writing less academic. Assuredly, this year my writings are more prodigious and stunning!

         I could not improve my way of writing by myself, writing is considered as a process or as a progressive work plus a lot of theory. In class for example, concepts and steps were well developed, the relevance of different kinds of  paragraphs and its introduction sentence, body or development of the main idea and concluding sentence. Secondly, through theory, I realized about mistakes made by me in my texts. Finally, theory was essential to me, it was as a main structure to follow in order to create sharpened manuscripts. To be a successful writer, or at least that is what I believe, I needed time, patience, theory, ans scaffolding, writing is nothing more than a procedure.
