__**Task 2 **__ 1. My strengths as a writer include voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and primarily conventions. On all three essays, I received a 5 in conventions, and a 4 in all of the other listed traits. This shows that I only had minor errors, if any at all. 2. My weaknesses include ideas, and organization. I need to go into detail about my points, and explain my ideas in more depth. 3. My goals as a writer for the AIMS essay are to draw the audience in and engage them with my essays. My goals are to receive at least 4 fives, and nothing lower than a 4 on at least one essay.

 I, too, sing America.
