Self-Reflective Piece 11u

To be honest I never written a paper longer than five pages before. After just doing the first draft I can honestly say that I had the ability to elaborate on topics all because of this English class. My writing is developing tremendously because I feel like I finally learned important aspects of researching like qualitative research interviews and using the John Jay library to get my sources for my paper. Another way my writing developed is that it does not take me as long to think of elaborating on a topic or idea and my sentences are flowing much smoother. This English class showed me the importance of preparing for a big paper by using all of my resources available to me.

My thoughts on this class are that I'm so glad I took it. I feel like I learned a whole new world of organizing by using Gmail and Google documents because I never used them before. This class will help me in the future by teaching me how to prepare for a paper and the power of organization! I feel like this class is so enjoyable because all of the students can relate to the theme of Web 2.0 since we all use the internet. Many English classes use books and multiple choice tests to learn but I feel like this way is so much better because if you have a connection with something you grasp the concept so much more.

  1. I can totally agree with your feelings on how you never wrote a long paper. It was a shock also. The idea of the technology used in this class is amazing and maybe you can emphasis how it was great to work it into an English class
