Weakness/ How To Improve on ELA Regents

My Weakness:
  • Part 4 Reading and Writing for Critical Analysis and Evaluation
  • Not having any books that relate to the quote giving using Literary Elements
  • I'm not good remembering exact details of the book because I might not have recently read the book
How to Improve:
I think I could improve my Writing skills for Part 4 in the ELA regents by revising some books and also re-reading story maps, practices essays that Ms.Hyde has giving us. I could make an outline which well refresh my memory in thinking of literary element. I have to make to sure that I don't rush my work because then I won't organize my ideas.
