Common Core State Standards
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas,
concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and
analysis of content.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2.c Use appropriate and varied transitions to link the major sections of the
text, create cohesion, and clarify the relationships among complex ideas and concepts.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.2.e Establish and maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending
to the norms and conventions of the discipline in which they are writing.
I met the standards because I wrote a formal essay that had transitions for each paragraph. I used the information that I learned in class to write a reflection essay about the whole unit and used all of the sources provided.
Reflection
I learned a lot of information that I did not know before during this unit. I have also never written a reflection like this before. I was able to talk about specific things I learned and how I felt about it instead of just stating facts. I did not really struggle with this essay at all and really enjoyed that writing style.
