There are so many different kinds of writing. I have only done a few of them but ever since I got to college mostly this class it made me realize that there is a lot more to it then one may think. For example, English 111 is based on argumentative writing did you think that there was a whole book on how to write argumentative papers. I certainly did not know that. That is one kind of writing that I have done thus far this year. Another kind of writing I did back in the day I used to keep a journal of sweet and funny things that that I learned and good things that happened to me that day. I find this kind of free writing just kind of writing about whatever. I really don’t do that anymore I kind of got lazy. Although, anyone that uses Facebook such as myself is basically free writing, because you are writing whatever you want and don’t really care what people think. Also, have you ever found yourself writing for another class and really don’t put that much effort into making it into a well written paper as you would for an English class. I certainly do I think it is because most teachers are just looking for if you got the content down instead of grading it like an English teacher and most students realize this. Now, Im not saying everyone does it but I think that good amounts of people do not put that much effort into it. Anyways, I just wanted to highlight some of the writing I have done and its not very much but I can defiantly I have got a lot better in English since I have been writing in college.

Kyle, do you still have your journals that you kept? You will be amazed how precious those accounts of your experiences will be the older you get. You will not believe how much you'll forget. Journal/diaries/blogs can be a window into your past self.
ReplyDeleteThis whole garbage about not transferring what you learn in English class to other classes KILLS me. That's WHY you're taking your English classes. Buck up!
