1st semester Portfolio conference

Dear mom and dad,

This past semester was a very long and sometimes challenging one. At the same time I enjoyed all of our writing assignments. A lot of the assignments were personal based experiences, which I like to do because I don't care for researching. I am proud of myself for improving on my writing skills because the ending of 9th grade and the beginning of sophomore year I would always get C's on my essays, but now I am getting persistent B's. For me this is an improvement, even though to you it may not. But my next goal is to shoot for A's in the next semester coming up. The one assignment that I was proud of was my "Angry Letter" because to me, I know I'm not the greatest when coming to research. The Angry Letter was one of the few assignments/essays that wasn't off personal experiences. One of the major challenges this semester I had was trying to learn broadcast things, when many of us aren't in broadcast. My next goal I have is to try and adapt more faster and help out more. This is a realistic goal because it's not something I cannot do. I just have to put more effort into doing so. 

1. What piece of writing did you like best in my portfolio?
2. What did you like about my porfolio and sharing and what would you like to see me improve on? 
3. Which of the writing traits (ideas, organization, voice, word choice) do you feel was most successful for me? 
4. Which of the traits of writing would you like me to improve on in the coming semester?

Thanks for your time!
