• Be able to integrate their ideas with those of others using summary, paraphrase, quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources. 

I think this is where I have shown the most improvement when it comes to my writing throughout the year. I think I am able to integrate quotes into my writing nicely and add meaning and connection with them as well. I think I improved with the paraphrasing after quoting a source. I have been able to learn how to actually summarise and paraphrase after quoting as I didn’t realize that you can actually just repeat what the quote said in your own words. By doing this is also allows for you voice to be able to be incorporated into your essay nicely .

• Control sentence-level error (grammar, punctuation, spelling).

I always think that I need to work on my punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure. I was never really taught how to do this, I was more so just expected to do so. Whenever I write I notice that I just place commas where I think they sound good and I have no idea what to do with colons and semicolons. I have also always struggled with spelling so I rely heavily on google’s suggestive corrections.
