Final Metacognition

At last, it’s over. Dear Fitz, “Metacognition” is a fancy word. I’ve had that thought for the entire year, but I’ve never remembered to actually write it down in any metacognitions before. But now I have. Now what? I don’t know. I don’t think I want to know. Why not... Continue reading

Good job. I like how vividly you remembered your walk in January.

Commented May 11, 2020 on Nature Walk at 2021 Yuan, Kevin

I liked how you described what you did during the hikes.

Good job. I really liked the simile relating the football and the jet.

Commented May 11, 2020 on A solitary walk at 2021 Lanagan, Garrett

Good job. I especially liked the metaphor you used in the first paragraph. The entire piece was written very well too.

Good job. I really liked your opening paragraph, and also the way you described your scene.

Commented May 11, 2020 on Solitary Walk at 2021 Hudson, Finn

I liked your hook. You also described the scene really well.

Good job. I liked your conclusion, and also your second paragraph.

I liked how you started off by writing from your point of view as you begin to run. I also liked your conclusion.

A Solitary Walk

When you’re too lazy/have no inspiration to write a philosophical essay. “The mind picks some very bad times to take a walk doesn't it?” ― Jeff Lindsay The sun’s very warm. Unfortunately warm. More than warm enough to make some want to go back inside, and sit down. It would... Continue reading

I liked what you wrote in the third paragraph, and how you talked about stress. I also liked your theme.

Commented May 6, 2020 on The Power of Chores at 2021 Callen, Andrew

I liked how you described the scene. It was written well, and the detail was good.

I liked how repetitive this piece was. Also, reverse psychology always works

Commented May 5, 2020 on Power of I at 2021 Yuan, Kevin

I especially liked the last two paragraphs. They closed the piece well, and were written pretty nicely too.

Commented May 5, 2020 on Power of I at 2021 Lonergan, Kallan

Like what everyone else wrote here, although it was short, it was still good. I especially liked the second sentence.

Commented May 5, 2020 on The power of I at 2021 Lanagan, Garrett

Good job. Although it looks a bit odd, from a writing viewpoint, I liked the way you split up your paragraphs.

Commented May 5, 2020 on The Power of I at 2020 Samuel Kahn

I liked the opening sentence. It was written well, and set up the rest of the piece nicely.

Commented May 5, 2020 on Assignment #1 at 2021 Hudson, Finn

I liked how you used a different word for the parallel structure in each paragraph. The quote fit pretty well too.

Commented May 5, 2020 on The Power Of I at 2021 Doherty, John

Good job. I liked how you split the two main paragraphs up into good and bad things.

Commented May 5, 2020 on I... at 2021 Belle, William

Like Finn said, I really liked how you did a separate topic for each paragraph.

The Power of Chores

Adding more health hazards to the world isn’t very nice. “Do you know how you get the urge to clean your room, and it’s no big deal? But when your mom tells you that you have to clean your room, you don't want to? That's me, anyway.” ― Bill Konigsberg... Continue reading

I really liked the second and third paragraphs; especially the part where you talked about how people were focusing on the smaller issues, while ignoring the larger ones.

Commented Apr 29, 2020 on The Power of I at 2021 Callen, Andrew

I liked the part where you said “my eyes bulging out of my head after staring at a screen.” It fit pretty well, and added to the piece nicely.

I I ”I” -not I I don’t want to do this, and I see no useful purpose in doing this. I’d much rather take my time to write slowly, rather than fast, because that’s just what I prefer. Writing fast seems sloppy, and I don’t get time to think out... Continue reading

“Blog Post”

Commenting metacognition from last week. “Just with the same comment, one can fool several people.” ― Ehsan Sehgal Commenting’s weird. On one hand, like many other people, I don’t like it. On the other hand, it’s sometimes a strangely peaceful experience. But then again, this is very much a “sometimes”... Continue reading
