5 paragraph Essay Reflection

When I first read the 2 articles I wanted to pick the article where Shakespeare was being

argued to not be taught in schools because I felt like he didnt need to be. But, the other article

has more information and more evidence of why he should be taught in school. While I was

structuring out on how to write my essay, I needed to know a little bit more about Shakespeare to

give background information about him.

While I was typing the essay I found that we needed a thesis statement with 3 pieces of

evidence. I had to also have evidence from the article as well as my opinion so I had to have

more background information of Shakespeare, because I honestly didnt know who he was. I

knew he was a famous english playwright and wrote some plays but that's it. I had trouble doing

my concluding sentence, but with some of the information from the article helped me.
