Reflecting on the feedback from my Boom Essay, I think my primary area for improvement is my ability to analyse and evaluate. Although I think I tried to push this a bit further from my last assessment, I haven’t unpacked the ideas in enough depth. Similarly to CAT 1, I prioritised including as much evidence as possible to support my ideas, rather than using a select few and extending the deeper, more implicit ideas. I feel that although I touched on many of the overarching ideas of the scene, I didn’t sufficiently connect the dots to other parts of the play in order to generate a stronger argument. This is similar to my previous reflection as once again, I need to work on valuing quality over quantity whilst still implementing sufficient evidence to back my claim. As a result, finding this fine balance within the word count is my main goal going forward.
Additionally, going forward I intend to pay closer attention to the details of my essay, whether it be my word choice, the structure of my sentences, or using the correct contextual terminology. My interpretation (Criterion A) and focus/development (Criterion C) can also be paid closer attention to, in terms of being very concise and precise in the specific point I’m making. All in all, bringing an extra level of clear insight and depth is what I will carry forward into my next piece of writing.
