Reflection

I got a lot more out of this class then I was expecting to at the beginning of this semester. I thought that I was just going to write a couple of papers and that was going to be it, but I was completely wrong. I feel that my writing greatly improved over the past couple of months. I enjoyed reading the stories in the book and I liked the way that we went over it in class. This helped us all understand the real way to write.
The biggest thing that I got out of this class was the way of flowing a couple of different stories together to make one story. I feel that we did the most work on this in class when we went up to the chalkboard and did our diagrams. Going up to the board was not only fun but it was a great learning experience as well.
The other thing that really helped my writing was the way that you taught us to include research into our pieces. This part helped to strengthen our arguments and make our stories a lot more entertaining. I was also glad that you were a stickler about citing things because I think that is the most annoying part about taking any writing class.
The different types of word that you taught us was the last thing that I felt boosted my writing that much more. The actions verbs that you told us to use made our sentences better, which made our paragraphs better, which made our whole stories better.
These are things that I will keep with me for the rest of my life and hopefully my writing will stay as well as it has gotten over the past couple of months, for the rest of my life.
