Review of English 100

My review of English 100

            I believe English 100 as helped me as a writer. Before English 100, all my papers have been only a page long. My pass English classes my teachers made grammar more important than the actually paper length.  Being in English 100 this pass semester, I learned how to write an actual academic paper. I also think that after being in English 100, I have become a better reader and writer.   I’ve became a better reader and writer because being assigned to write a blog entry about what we have read helps me better understand what I have read. Having to blog our assignments   makes doing homework a lot easier. I’m able to look up and write down the questions without having to close the book. Blogging makes the class easy as well because the teacher is able to pull up our assignments. The teacher wouldn’t be able to lose papers.

            Blogging is similar to a journal because you are able to blog about things you read. You can write anything you want.  The only difference is that you write more professional in the blog verse a journal. In a journal, it is more private. Only you can read what’s put into it. The couple of things I would like to see change with this class are the peer review. I think we should can more time in class to peer review. In addition, I would like to see change is the time we have in class to work on task papers.  Those are the only things I would like to see change. 

Self-evaluation for task four

·                     What is the thesis for your paper?

My thesis for task four was why I love to read. And I found a love for reading. It wasn’t until I learned how to read that I could really understand the books.

·                     List the main points you make in your paper.

The main points in my paper were when I was a child and reading, learning how to read and  not liking to read, going to high school and finding a book that helped me love to read.

·                     What was the most helpful advice you received from your peer evaluation?

The most helpful advice I received from my peer evaluation is to show relation between I the two essays.

·                     What was the most helpful information you received in class for your paper?

The most helpful information I received in class is for me to show more that I can relate to the authors.

·                     How many drafts of this paper do you think you wrote and how/when did you write them? For example, did you compose at the keyboard, did you write lots of notes to yourself, did you pre-write or outline, did you write in small chunks of time or sit down and produce an entire draft at one sitting?

I wrote two drafts. I wrote them a week before. I composed both of them at the computer. I only wrote some notes. I tried to write one whole draft but I end up only writing in small chucks.

·                     What would you do differently with this paper to make it more effectively, or what did you try to do that you just don’t think you got a good handle on?

I would have found more quotes and written down more examples.

I’m pleased with my introduction on my paper.
