Reflective Assignment Final

Robert Ireland


1. The first three articles I did had a lot of information. The obituary contained everything Michelle had told me about her life. It included how she saved the lives of five young children, which I thought made the article interesting. For the police story I thought I got good quotes from Ammerman and that the story was completely accurate. I was pleased with the way the Cowling piece turned out since I only saw about 15 minutes of his speech, I thought it was fair and accurate.
2. I think my leads can improve; they can be shorter and more appealing to readers. I also need to work on AP style I still make a lot of mistakes with style. I think the comments I receive on papers are the most helpful in identifying where improvement can be made.
3. Michelle R Sarazin was an English student, a bartender and a person many just knew as their friend and during her short life she saved the lives of five young children. During Michelle R Sarazin’s life she saved the lives of five young children, she was an English student, a bartender and a person many just knew as their friend.
4. I don’t think that there is any element of my writing that couldn’t use improvement. I think I could be coherent in my writing. I often find my writing to be choppy and hard to follow. If I were more coherent more people would read my work. I think I could be more precise. Occasionally poor word choices cause my writing to be interpreted differently than intended.
