I have evolved a great
deal in fourteen weeks. Whether it is my overall length of my writing, or the
content that I put into my writings I have improved. This class has changed my
outlook and my landscape of writing completely. I am not trying to write for a
passing grade, like I did in high school. I am writing for myself now and I
enjoy the essence of writing. I know that when I graduate and I reflect on my
classes that this class was my cornerstone for all of my work. I say that because
I will use this knowledge in not only English classes but in other classes as
well.
The Everywhereist was my best piece of writing in the
class. I feel like that I have accomplished most of the goals that I stated in
my final assessment. I brainstormed for this assignment. Not only in my ideas
for The Everywhereist but for the assignment its self. I made several rough
drafts for this paper. I spent time playing around with different ways to word
my post because I wanted it to be perfect. I revised my writing to the best of
my ability in this post because like I said I wanted it to be perfect. This is
something that I am improving on the more that I write. Revision is something
that I needed to improve in, and I believe that I am improving. I tried to
integrate and document the author's ideas into my post. I also tried to blend
both of our ideas together.
I believe that I learned
to consider my role as a writer in not just one post. At the beginning of the
course I was writing as a student. Now I am writing to be more of a contributor
to the writing world. My best post to show how I've changed is Headaches.
In this post I talk about the headache of having to choose the perfect blog for
my project. I was writing to everyone that wanted to know about the top blogs
not just to my class. I still had areas to improve on in this post, but for the
most part I liked it.
My Greatest Hits CD is what I used my thesis technique. I researched all my
material and compiled it together. It was a little difficult to go through all
the years the band that I did to find all the information. I supported my
thesis with facts and could use sources too support my facts. In The
Everywhereist I also used a thesis technique to compile facts and listed my
sources to accredit my facts. I also have used the thesis technique on other
posts but not to the degree I did on these two posts.
I plan to improve on my typos
and fix my proofreading errors. I have greatly improved on many of the
skills required to proofread I'm just not one-hundred percent yet. I know that
I will be very soon because this class has taught me so many different ways to
proofread. This class has also given me resources to improve my writing.
Without these resources I would not have improved as much as I have.
To conclude, I have had a
wonderful experience in this class and look towards the future. This class was
an amazing way to improve my ability as a writer. I have improved my writing
techniques ten-fold all because of this single class. I appreciate how this
class allowed us to progress at our own pace. As this class comes to end I know
that I have evolved as a writer.
