final blog entry

What I have leaned

There are so many things that I have learned from this class, and so many skills that I can apply to future writing. At the beginning of class I did not proofread my work; I made grammar mistakes, and often could never think of what to write about. Now nearing the end of class I have a chance to reflect on what I have learned, and how I have improved. The process of writing is something I have learned a lot about, CD/CM chunks and thesis statements. Before this class, if I had to write an essay I would never write an outline. I have made many improvements in my writing and I no longer say I think, or in my opinion. I have learned a lot about how to write and interpret an essay, from the homework assignments. Before this class I didn’t know about good introductions or the difference between literary, personal, or compare and contrast essays. In the future I plan to continue writing and using these skills in English classes and on my own time.
