Final Blog

Where have you come in regards to this unit?
 
In regards to this unit, I have come to understand that you do not have to be good at grammar and spelling to be a good writer. I found out that a lot of teachers in high school and some in college believe that a good write is someone that is good a spelling and grammar, but wouldn’t that make them just good at English. I never realized that most of my high school teachers taught five paragraph essay format because that its what I know how to do and I have always done papers that way. In regards to the semester, I have come from finding knew things out in English like how everything is pretty much its own genre, how good writers are not always good at grammar or spelling, how to use a blog, and genres can be broken.

What have you learned, nothing specific?

I have learned many things about English. I have learned that genres are pretty much everything and anything. Who knew that our world had a certain way of doing things. Think about an essay, you wouldn’t write and essay on a shirt would you? Our world sees that you should write an essay on a nice, white piece of paper. I have learned through this semester that good writes are not always good at grammar or spelling because that would make them good at writing and English. I have learned about blogging and how you can break a genre. I have learned that I am not very good at explaining myself and giving examples, but I am working on that to become better because communication is very thing.

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

The “big takeaway” from this unit would be that you don’t have to be good at the “English” part to be a good writer. This takeaway is also one of my big takeaways for the semester. I will takeaway from this class how to use a blog, that I can be a good write even if I am not good at spelling and grammar, and that everything can be classified as its own genre. I have learned a few things that I will takeaway from this class and that I will never for get. I will take these big takeaways with my though my years of college and maybe even to my career.

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

I really don’t have any lingering questions for this unit. I don’t have any lingering in this world like just a simple text to a simple writing on the wall or board. I think I am doing well at try to do better at explaining myself in my blogs because in the begin and even in the middle it was a work in progress. I have never really been good at explaining myself in words, but I am do well at trying to learn. You have explained enough that I really don’t have any questions.

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

I don’t have anything to say or need to talk about with it because like the question before I should have asked it or said it all ready. I should have spoken up if I had something to say.

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

All my claims have been back up by examples. I have been trying really hard on try to give examples to everything or trying to explain what I am trying to say. I have learned some things that I will take with me. I have learned in this class many things about English and writing. I have learned that we have been taught things certain ways that I never knew before or realized before. I never realized that our world had a certain was to do things like cover letters are done a certain way or papers are written on paper. I just thought that was the way and real never realized I was doing that. I have successful backed up all claims with my learning experiences and how I have learned it.
