Wk 12 - Writing changing dramatically

I think my writing has improved very well after I did my Generation Y paper. I was really impressed on how it got developed. I had very good supporting details and had a good peer response with my partner, Jennine. She thought I did a very good job wrapping the paper together and did only minor errors. I just had to include a little bit more info to get the reader a better aspect of the paper. I felt really confident while writing this paper because it was a popular topic I knew a lot about and was one that I was feeling good about writing. As I started prewriting for this GenY paper I was feeling great because as soon as I touched the keys on the laptop I kept going and going. That is never me because I freeze up while writing but like I said I wanted to do this topic and it made me wanna keep typing and typing. Once I wrapped all my details and examples into one paper, it was well-developed and the way I wanted it to be. I think I improved more by having an easier topic to write on then one that a teacher assigns. It’s going to be interesting doing the free-choice essay because I will be even more confident and expressing my feelings stronger by me choosing my own topic to write about. I know I did a lot better on this paper than my other ones. I hoping the conference with Stephanie go well because I wasn’t prepared with my other papers and this one I was very prepared for and I will be getting great feedback hopefully. After taking this class I have learned lots more than in my high school. My high school English was waste of time because I didn’t learn anything; I am extremely happy I got placed into this class and learned so much and looking forward to learning a ton more. It will also get me prepared for ENG 110 which seems a tad-bit harder because it’s longer writing and more elaborating topics. But to-this-day I am staying little more confident in my writing and wanting to improve each and every day.

  2. Yes bri,
    I really agree with you on this. This paper really broadened my mind about things that I never would have expected to even know. I really think that this paper went well too.
