FORMATIVE WORK 1 (September 26th)

COURSE 1: Essay Writing Practice: Persuasive

a) I did the persuasive essay test because I wanted to evaluate myself and find out my English level, especially in that type of writing.
b) I guess the difficulty level was average. It wasn't hard to do but it asked for a certain effort.
c) I didn't learn much about persuasive essays, but I learned that there were a lot of online resources on that site to improve my English writing skills, lessons and tests. I also learned, by reading the subject of my essay that American teens are falling behind in sciences and that educators blame the teachers for their lack of pedagogical tools.
d) I got a score of 4 out of 6, which put into percentages gives me a fairly bad grade of 67%. I should keep practicing.

COURSE 2: GED Language arts essay writing I

a) I chose the GED Language arts essay writing I. It was the first one in the GED category so I thought I could give it a shot.
b)The difficulty level was again average because it was a simple text that I had to write about family.
c) Again, I didn't learn much about writing essays, but I did learn the importance of organizing a text and using the right begin to make a better essay.
d)My grade was 4 out of 4 which is logically better than last time, but the criteria do not appear to have been the same. The scoring guide however is more practical than last time. It describes the level of competency I had to reach to get the grade.
