Metacognitive Reflection- Students´ failure

ISFD 41 - Language and Written Expression IV - Saubidet Stella

Areco Yesica - Perez Stefania  

June 2014

       Our assignment was not up to standard the first time because we omit important characteristics of a paragraph. First of all, we did not realize the fact that a paragraph cannot have a full stop. Also, the topic sentence was divided in two, something that contributed to miss the real point of the sentece and also made our work even more difficult because, while writing, there was no real topic to develop in the supporting sentences. In addition, cohesion was not attained at all, since some of the connectors were found in the wrong places. Another aspect has to do with the fact that many time we repeated sentences but did not clarify any idea, and so we turned around the same concept. Last but not least, we had to change some words and phrases not only to add coherence but also to add cohesion to the text. We recognized that the material we have is necessary in order to get cohesion and coherence and to develop a good paragraph. Writing a paragraph it is not as simple as it looks like.
