Blog Day Fifty- One: The In- Class Essay

Today in class I wrote an essay as part of the exam that we will finish on Wednesday. Thankfully I did finish writing my essay during in class. I was afraid that I was not going to because when I finished typing my essay last night I noticed it had over 1,100 words! I don't think I wrote that much today just because I cut a few parts unessential parts out to save time. Have fun grading my essay Mr. Schick! I did take up a lot of space to write my essay, using 1 and 3/4 of paper to write my essay. I was very proud of myself when I did finish. Half way through, I thought my hand was going to fall off because I was writing so quickly. Thankfully it didn't and I was able to finish my essay with a few minutes remaining. Though Mr. Schick did not let us write our entire essay out on our notecard, I used the strategy of writing cues for each sentence in each paragraph and therefore had very small handwriting to fit everything. I think that strategy worked really well because I was able to remember or come up with what to write for each sentence in each paragraph. Overall I think my essay writing went well and I hope I get a good grade on it.
