Dear
Instructor Letter
Dear Professor Lotspeich
I
think I will succeed in this class because many of the goals seem attainable
due to what I have learned thus far. My high school stressed the importance of
a strong thesis, powerfull argumentative essays and collaboration in writing.
As a result I developed those essential writing skills that will help me
perform well in this class. Every year of high school we had a thesis essay
which allowed me to progress my ability to write a strong essay. and my ability
to write a strong thesis progress every year. After looking over our class
assignments, I think that I can utilize that skill to manage the analytical
essay well. I have also written countless argumentative essays and feel
confident that I can manage our argumentative essay assignment. During my
senior year we chose a topic, mine was dystopian novels, read four books that
fit our topic, wrote several essays on each and combined them for the final
thesis essay. Learning how to combine aspects from several different essays
should help me attain the goal of our portfolio assignment. I think I will do
well in this class because of the style of learning we will be doing. Studying
from graphic novels will be an excellent way to learn since I will be engaged in
the text, and it will open my mind to new forms of communication. My feelings
of excitement about the style of learning and confidence in managing assingments
make me think that I will perform well. However, there are some assignments and
aspects of this class that will be difficult for me.
I
think I will struggle with some assignments that I am not familiar with and
some of the learning outcomes that I have not yet practiced. In fact this very
first assignment challenged me since I was unaware of what an informal letter
should resemble, and I am still not confident that I structured it correctly. I
am also unfamiliar with writing argumentative letters so it will be difficult
for me to write those. I have a few bad habits that will be a challenge to
mastering some of the learning outcomes. I am a slow reader so it will be
challenging to analyze literature. I also struggle with grammar, which will conficlt
with my ability to succeed on essays. I hope I can further develop my reading
and writing skills and overcome some of the challenges I have in order to
succeed in this class and life.
Thank you,
Jack English-Cooper
