Essay Reflection

My honest evaluation of my previous essay is that I did do nearly the best I could've. Theres always that point where I feel like I've done enough and then someone says change this or rewrite this paragraph and I'm thinking, no, what if that conflicts with my main point and my thesis and so on and so forth. However I did honestly try as hard as I could and when I found out I needed more of a they say I say form I went over my essay and edited and added the appropiate sentences to fulfill that requirement. I wrote both my conclusion and my intro before they were due, even though that was due to not knowing when Craig wanted them I none the less did not skimp on any of the assignment that I thought I should get done and I did not procrastinate. Some personal criticism I could make about my essay would be that I could have made my last few paragraphs run together more and flow a little better with the paper, which I did to an extent but I could have had some introductory sentences in the paragraph before but despite the fact I think they don't blend too horribly.
About my writing process I learned that there is no really form I need to follow except maybe the form of writing my thoughts an ideas down before hand. Whatever form that might hold doesn't matter too much either. At first I was afraid that by writing my intro last, something I had never done before, I would be unable to shape my paper with my thesis statement. However I found out that I was able to write my body paragraphs and then shape my thesis statement around what I wrote. I obviously had to put a little more effort into staying focused and so I wrote one sentence to guide my writing which stated that class was the only reason the rebellion started. Obviously thats no where near a thesis statement but I needed a focused direction. And my writing philosophy, I suppose I really don't actually have a certain form I do it in, just whatever feels right at the time. However I do think that in terms of educational argumentative writing I first state the false actions or believe or what it may be and then state what I think. Then again that could just be because thats what we have learned in class with the they say I say articles. I am pretty unsure. I do know that I wrote my essay in a they say I say format when I usually state my believe, what I say and then relate it to what someone else falsely says, or at least what I see as them falsely saying.
So far I do not see the difference between college and high school writing except maybe the teacher actually speaks with each student and the due dates are sooner. But that is not always an absolute either so I honestly have yet to see a difference. But maybe that will change once I see my grade.
