Strategies (2+)
1. Unit 1 Portfolio
Write stories to
develop experiences
using different
techniques and event
sequences.
One improvement
strategy would be
looking more into
how to structure my
Letter of Introduction
better.
Another improvement
strategy is to have
someone else read
what I write and make
sure everything flows
well and doesnt just
sound good because
I know what I want to
say.
2. Animals Bill of
Rights
One improvement
strategy would be to
map out more of an
outline for my paper
first. I started off
strong and my
paragraphs got
shorted at the end
because I started
having less to say in
support of my stance.
It would be good to
outline what is being
said in each
paragraph and have
many details and
factual examples
prepared.
Another improvement
strategy would be to
think of some more
synonyms for some
of the keywords I
discussed in my
paper such as
animals, harm, and
cruel. I felt that it
became hard to vary
Writing: Gather
relevant information
from multiple
authoritative print and
digital sources, using
advanced searches
effectively; assess
the strengths and
limitations of each
source in terms of the
task, purpose, and
audience; integrate
information into the
text selectively to
maintain the flow of
ideas, avoiding
plagiarism and
overreliance on any
one source and
following a standard
format for citation.
One improvement
strategy that this
paper helped me
realize that I need to
apply is go deeper
into the description of
what I am actually
doing for my senior
project. I could have
delved a little deeper
into the explanation
of the process.
Another improvement
strategy could have
been to gain
information from a
wider variety of
sources and source
types for more
variation of
information and
credibility.
Speaking/Listening:
Present information,
findings, and
supporting evidence,
conveying a clear and
distinct perspective,
such that listeners
can follow the line of
reasoning, alternative
or opposing
perspectives are
addressed, and the
organization,
development,
substance, and style
are appropriate to
purpose, audience,
and a range of formal
One improvement
strategy would be to
be present at school
because it is crucial
to getting
assignments done. If
I miss I need to make
sure I catch up
without putting work
off until the last
minute. Another
improvement strategy
for this particular
assignment would be
to memorize the
speech more
because I felt like I
was reading too
much instead of
speaking from my
knowledge. One
more improvement
strategy would be to
bring up
counteracting views
for my argument and
explain why my point
is more valid than the
opposing view. Doing
this in more detail
than I actually did
would make for a
stronger argument.
Reading: Determine
an author's point of
view or purpose in a
text in which the
rhetoric is particularly
effective, analyzing
how style and content
contribute to the
power,
persuasiveness or
beauty of the text
Speaking/Listening:

and a range of formal
and informal tasks
One improvement
strategy for this
assignment would be
to work on making
my argument more
persuasive. I stated
what I believed but I
could have gone
further into detail for
why my opinion was
what it was.
Another improvement
strategy would be to
also give more
support for the
opinions that I
commented on other
peoples arguments.
Next time I will state a
more resolute opinion
so that people know
exactly where I stand.
One improvement
strategy for this would
be getting it done
relate elements of a
story
Speaking/Listening:
Be prepared to refer
to evidence from
other texts about a
topic to stimulate
thoughtful ideas.
One improvement
strategy would have
been to make a
better outline before
writing my essay and
putting quotes on it. I
didnt pick out quotes
until after I started
writing and I learned
that this is a harder
way of doing it.
Another improvement
strategy would be to
paraphrase the book
more. I used quotes
