Usefullness of Blogging

In the begining of the semester, I hated to blog. I thought it was a waste of my time and I didn't understand the reasoning behind it. After awhile though I realized that it really helped me out. I was able to address any of my concerns, talk about class activities, and form some of my thesis statements for my papers. It has been a way to interact with my teacher also. She is able to talk to me through it and vice versa. That way, the student and the teacher keeps in contact throughout the semester and not only in class. I would definately recommend blogging for other classes. Students will find it very helpful and some will see it as a way to relieve their stressors that are affecting their writing.

Tuesday's Editing

As we started off editing our literacy naratives with a partner, I found it highly benefiical. I think I found it so good because I had to read it aloud. I noticed that I had a lot of emotion and everything from that day came back to me. It really helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses in the paper. My partner gave me lots of feedback and really helped me out about my confidence in the paper. I didn't like how we edited our proposal papers as much. I find it hard for myself to read what I have wrote because of course I like the paper how it is and don't like to criticize it. In the end, I did find some mistakes and now know what to do. Hopefully, the comments on my RBAA paper will help me too. I liked this way. I finished writing my review over my classmates paper and I just hope that I get as much help as I gave him. They were different styles of editing and I liked that. It is nice to have a little bit of variety!
