Where have you come in regards to this unit?

• In this unit have come to realize that it does not matter if your not good at grammar or spell in writing because that does not mean you are not a good writer. I have always been told and taught that if I can not spell or I am not good at grammar that I will never be a good writer. I have also learned about the many genres because I had no idea that almost everything we write is a different genre like writing a paper, newspaper articles, facebook statues, and even text messages.

What have you learned, nothing specifics?

• I have learned about my method of doing homework and how I like structure when it comes to my homework. I have learned many things about drunk driving and how it affects many people in this world. I have learned tips on how to prevent drunk driving and saving lives on the roads. I have learned many things about this unit in terms of what is a genre or what are genres. I found out that there is a difference between being a good writer and being good a spelling and grammar.

What do you think is the “big takeaway” for you, that thing that will really stick with you?

• I think the big takeaway for me is I learned about the different genres in writing. I found out that you don’t have to be good at grammar to be a good writer. If you said I am good at English then maybe you should be good at spelling and grammar, but writing is just thoughts and ideas not spelling and grammar. I will take that with me because I know I am not great at English, but that does not mean I am not a okay writer.

What questions still linger even though the unit is “finished”?

• I do not think I have any questions lingering in my head about this unit now because it is almost over. If I had a question still lingering in my head now I should have asked it way before now because it is the end of the unit and everything is due tomorrow.

What did you do really well?

• I think I did really well at researching information on drunk driving because I search and search for a topic. I found two I liked a lot, but then I thought about it and did more research on both of them again. I realized that drunk driving is more relevant to Illinois State student and to our age group. I think people should be better informed on drunk driving and how bad it is.

Is there anything else you really want to talk about? Say it.

• I do not really have anything to say because I do not have questions to ask or anything to talk about. As I said in the question about it there is any questions to ask I should have already come and talk to you about it. It is the end of the unit and I should have came to you before it was over, but I do not have anything to talk about or ask.

Use specific examples to successfully back up all claims, specific quotations, page numbers, etc. so I know exactly what you’re talking about.

• I pretty much got all my information for articles on the internet and form my interview with Mrs. Rabe-Hemp. All my claims are from my sources on the source page. I have one source that I can not find on the internet because I got it from the person I interview and talk to about drunk driving. She gave it to me in the interview and told me it was from Illinois DUI workshop on the internet, but I could not find it online. I have the sheets and I use some information form this source. I have all my sources printed out and my information I wanted to use is highlighted. I tired to have a lot of facts and statistics from the internet to make my paper successful. I think to make a paper successful you need sources to back up your information.
