Reflections in my WritingBefore

After Early on in the semester I had

trouble analyzing in my writing, I mainly summarized.

Organization was a major problem in my 2nd essay.

MLA? I didn't even use on my first essay, let alone properly use it.

Gathering complete ideas and connecting them to my thesis appropriately was a struggle until my Wall-e analysis.

With HELPFUL in-class discussions (analyzing Wall-e) my essay understanding of an analysis was much more clear.

After talking during in-class peer revisions I learned many different strong organizational structures, (i.e. time)

With OWL (online MLA source) I figured out how to correctly cite, and format a MLA paper.

Reflections on WordPressBefore After

Blogging was new to me, so I was illiterate at it.

Posting weekly posts wasn't the problem marking the category was.

In my blogs, because there was a 400 word minimum, I sometimes ended to soon, and other times was to repetitive trying to meet exactly 400 words.

Blogging has became something I enjoy doing.

I enjoy the simplicity of blogs; no pen or paper, just start typing, which I didn't before.

Writing about any topic discussed in-class, left me with many options and suppressed ideas I was able to openly address as time went on.

Lessons Learned..Cups can

be reused.Plastic

washable cups are beneficial as well.

Girls, go natural;

and the

environment. (hair

spray, hair color

etc) Cars can be bought

fuel efficient.

Instead of driving, ride

a bike.

Spread AWARENESS to those around me

How Wall-e Influenced Me Reduced my trash (got rid of plastic cups, forks; use dishes)
