Reflection for WP#3

Reflection of the Class

Overall, since the beginning of this class, there has been a lot that has changed both from my writing and from how I look at writing. When I write now I always have some form of writing done before actually fully writing the paper to have some sort of baseline and to ensure that my paper is organized. Now that I am nearing the end of the course when I look at writing I try to see what motivated the author to write the way they and to see why they did it. Was it a story, a diary entry, or something else entirely?

What has caused many of the changes that I have gone through are the class decisions, particularly the ones in my small group. I was able to learn a lot from my peers in my group both in writing style and ideas about writing, My group was super diverse from people all across the world, and to see how they were taught to write and how they saw writers. Was super interesting. But the group’s discussion was not the only thing that has caused me to change. The reading was super insightful which gave me more to understand the writing process and who writers are. One thing that I will take with me to other classes is to have a group of people review my writing. Before taking this class it was usually just one person who would go over my

writing, but having four people go over it made revising the paper super easy and gave more insight into the areas I can improve in.One of the many things that I will take with me once this class is over. It is always best to have some ideas about your writing before actually writing the full paper. Having some sort of word map or outline made prior to writing allowed me to see what to do next which helped me with the flow of my writing.

I see some parts of writing differently. One of the biggest parts that I see differently is the process of writing. I always have thought the writers just sit down and instantly know what to write, it never really hit me that the writer does not always have a full understanding of where their writing will take them or what the final product will be.

BE thank you for a wonderful semester, this was and is my favorite class this year, I always look forward to our Monday class! And happy holidays!

I look forward to seeing you on the Hilltop.
