My 3 goals for our english class

I think my three goals will be first learning how to properly write a good essay, second expand my vocabulary by doing the 5 vocab words every week, and my third goal is going to be how to brainstorm better. I want to learn how to write a better essay because I do not know how to and when I write one I feel that it can be better but I do not know how to do it, also when I was reading the book I came across a part that talking about writing an essay and everything they said not to do I was doing. I want to expand my vocabulary because when I am in my other class we come across alot of words that I do not know and it is really embarrassing for my because I feel like I am behind everyone else. My last goal is learning how to brainstorm properly because the other day when we had out freewriting I found myself think about alot of different things that I wanted to write about.
