Blog # 5: Portfolio One (1102)

One thing I need to work on in my writing is getting the reader’s attention. I need to work on stronger hooks. In high school, we just wrote what we had, example being if it was a research paper the title was “Research Paper”. When I was in high school, I never learned how to grab the reader into reading my essay.
I think that my first essay in Portfolio One is the strongest. I learned how to grab the reader’s attention by the title and the first sentence. I also made my thesis statement clear as well. It was easy to identify and point out. The reader knew what I would be talking about in my essay.
