Introduction Paragraph:
A Snowy Trip in Austria My mom is originally from the beautiful European country of Austria. As a little kid, my family went there to visit my grandma and other members of my extended family. It was always a fun way to spend my summer. I have been there many times, so I have a lot of wonderful memories from there. |
This semester I am taking English 100. It is a college level course. For our first essay we had to write a personal narrative. I wrote about the time I visited my family in Austria and saw snow. We had to write three different drafts. A rough draft, a second draft, and a final draft. On the day the rough draft was due we got into groups in class and we gave each other feedback. On the day the second draft was due one other person proof read the essay. This project demonstrates interpersonal skills because while I was peer reviewing other people's essays I had to give them feedback and suggestions. I am proud of this project because I got a 88% on it and it was my first college essay. If I could redo this project I would check more closely for comma placements because I did have a few run-on sentences. I can apply this learning to future essays. This project relates to what I have learned in the past because I had to write a personal narrative and I have learned how to write one in middle school.
