15) Optional Student Choice: 500 words or 5-minute video. You author content that includes a title, category, and a reflection about your experiences in this class. Consider specific assignments, specific readings/films, specific conversations, and/or specific processes that helped you learn and grow. In this blog post I will be discussing how using blog posts during this class has impacted me. When this class first start and I learned that all of our work was going to be posted on our websites for everyone to see I was a little uncomfortable with the idea. I was intimidated by the thought that anyone in my class would be able to see my writing, mostly because I don't believe I'm the best writer. I was very hesitant while writing my first few blogs and I was very unsure about my outcome. Throughout the semester, I have become more comfortable posting blogs and my drafts for the formal assignments. Writing each post has become easier because I felt better about my results. I like that I can receive feedback from my peers about the ideas that I have shared here. It's also nice to see my classmate's work as well because it interesting to hear others opinions or to see how they interpreted the assignment for the blog post. I have never created a website before so it was very interesting to learn how. I have always been used to writing papers, printing them out and then handing them in for a grade in all of my other english classes so blogging has been a huge change for me. I definitely enjoy blogging more because it allows me to share my thoughts as well as hear feedback and suggestions for my work. Posting each draft of my formal assignments has also been very useful in writing my paper. I like that I'm able to look back at each of my drafts and see how my work has progressed. During this course we have talked a lot about the process of writing. The process is working towards a goal and it is a continuing thing that occurs. Working through a website was very beneficial because it allowed us to use the process of writing and work towards accomplishing a good paper. This class has taught me that the process of writing is very important. It's okay to go back and revise your work as many times as you want or need. Your first draft is not going to be perfect and you should continue to strive to reach the highest level that you can. I have learned a lot about writing in this class and believe that I will continue to improve as a writer.
