What is part 4
Part 4 of the ELA regents is the Critical Lens. In the Critical Lens there would be a quote in which I have to intrepret and agree or disagree with the quote. This essay requires for me to relate the quote to two different lituature work. I have to give detail for the literature work to help support whether I agree or disagree with the quote.

My weakness
1. It is hard for me to remember the name of the authors for the books.
2. Also I have a hard time to remember the titile of the book itself.
3. I seem to not complete my thoughts when I write.
4. Sometimes it is very hard to remember specific details in the book that may relate to the quote.

How to improve
1. I can try to make an outline before starting the essay so I can have some thoughts and details written down.
