Since my first blog, I can say my confidence in writing went from 10% to 80%. Learning how to write better has definitely been accomplished in this class. For I still have a lot to learn and I will be taking English 1-B (I think it's the next class up). Throughout this class, I have evolved. My writing has evolved. I have learned to identify the purpose of my writing. I have learned to always ask myself "what am i trying to prove'? What is the argument? Writing my last research paper, I was nervous. Taking step by step directions from the teacher was very helpful. They say I say book for writing and learning how to phrase things has been very helpful. The rhetorical triangle has been so helpful. The speaker, audience, and message have helped me communicate better and understand how to communicate. Proofreading is also very important before submitting your work, making sure you follow Orwell's rule to be clear. Watching all of the asynchronous discussions. Having the best teacher that reads your rough drafts and gives you feedback has been the most important part for me. It has helped me revise my writing. So I knew what I was doing wrong. The most important part of this class was definitely having an amazing teacher who walked me through each week and explained to me our assignments. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to write. I know I have a lot more to learn when it comes to writing. I am so excited to move forward! Thank you so much for helping me through this semester. It doesn't seem like much. But I know I have learned a lot and I'm ready for my next English class.
Today's blog is all about Essay 3. I am feeling very overwhelmed. I have all this information I have been learning and I don't know how to put it into words. Overwhelmed is an understatement. It is very easy for me to complete quizzes where I can find the answers in reading or complete a small assignment. But when it comes to writing, for some reason it becomes very difficult for me. In chapter 7 So what? who cares? I didn't really understand what it was telling me to do. And how do I incorporate that into my essay? I have started the introduction of this rough draft and I have brainstormed a little bit but as far as the rhetorical appeals, I am also a little confused. I am definitely ready to write an essay with my argument that Athletes should not travel during covid. I will research different stats and put that in the essay. But like I said we have just been learning so much and it's a lot for me right now. I am excited to see tomorrow what I can accomplish.
