Over the course of the trimester my
writing/ blogging has improved by my grammatical errors and I reduced the
amount of errors I was posting. I also learned to reread my blogs before I posted
them because before I would just type up my blog and then post it, not looking
over it. Also I learned to shorten my sentences because I used to just drag them
on forever and not have an end to it. I learned to know where to put the right punctuation
in my quotes also because I would be quoting everything wrong. In the beginning
of my blogging I was using the wrong “to” and “there” so I learned to think
about how they would fit into my sentences.
One thing I struggled with blogging
was how long I had to make my blogs. I felt that I didn’t have anything to talk
about and I would run out of ideas to post about and by the end of this
trimester my blogs where short. To overcome this I would go to other class
makes blogs and read theirs and see what they were blogging about and the
topics they would talk about. A strength I had with blogging was I asked a lot
of questions trying to get my readers to think about what was going to happen
next or what they thought was going to happen next. My reading goal was 10 books;
I am not a big reader so I thought it would be hard but not outrageously hard. I
only finished 3 books which I could have at least finished 5 but I would pick
up a book for a few days and then not like it and return it. The good reads
website did help me pick out my books or at least look at a few and see what my
friends were reading. I probably should have updated my pages more though. Over
the trimester I have definitely improved as a reader because before I would
never really want to read in my free time, now when I am bored I will start
reading my book. Also I feel I have finished my books faster than I used too.
