 * **EXAMPLE**: This year I have made many improvements in my writing. My word choice is a lot stronger, and I enjoy using the NETBOOK thesaurus feature to find new words. Annotating mentor texts helps me identify specific techniques strong writers use such as purposeful repetition. Now, I am able to help my reader notice my new points without saying first, next, and finally. When I revise for sentence fluency, my sentences flow together well, moving seamlessly from one idea to the next. Varying the types of sentence I use has improved my writing most in this area. Examples of sentences I have learned to use are simple, compound, or complex, and in this response I have used all three types of sentences to deliver this answer. || **EXAMPLE**: I am proud of how much I have grown as a writer. I have learned to use craft in my writing to make my reader sense what I sense in my mind. My favorite craft to use is an absolute. With absolutes I can help my reader make visualize the action of my topic or subject. Here's an example of how I used an absolute in my essay. Heart pounding, muscles straining, the climber summited the crest of Everest. || **EXAMPLE:** i really like writing. i have improved in all the craft techniques the teacher has tot me like.
