- How do you feel your writing has changed over the course of the semester? (Give me detailed examples with evidence pls)
- why do you suppose reflecting learning? why is it important?
- What do you understand about audience (and therefore tailoring your argument) that you didnt before? How can you use that knowledge to further your career as a student and as a professional?
- If you could have changed an assignment, which assignment would it be, how would you change it, and why? How would you (and potentially your classmates) benefit from this change?
- And finally, what can I do as a teacher to improve the gaming theme, the lectures, the assignments/projects, the journal entries, and/or anything else? Dont just say “nothing, it was all great” – take a moment and really think about this.
My writing has changed over the span of the 4 months of my English class. I knew before writing my Evicted paper that I was a little rusty in the writing department. My writing now could use some work and I hope I can fix if for future papers.
Looking back on your writing can help you with your writing in the future. Your past papers and your current paper can show your progress and know how far you’ve come in writing. You have to take a couple of minutes with your papers and spot the difference. Our peer-review helped me. I could have another perspective on my paper and I got to see mistakes and changes that I couldn’t see before.
Knowing your audience is crucial in writing a paper. You should think about your audience and change your vernacular to let them understand you.
If I had to change one of my assignments in my class, it would be my annotated bibliography. Our annotate bibliographies are very important source when writing a paper. It makes it easier for someone to read back through their notes without having read the entire book again.
If I could improve my teacher’s technique about her gaming theme, I would suggest her to think more about her students. Not all of her students are going to understand her and not all of them are going to have the same interests. While we were having discussions in class, I felt out of place when I didn’t know what the game or game style was. I would pretend to understand the topic and nod along with the rest of the classroom. Besides my comment, I think she is a very wonderful teacher. She takes her interests and incorporates it into the lesson plans.
