Conclusion Post

         I liked the class a lot. I was able to learn a lot of new things that will hopefully help me in English 2010. I liked our subject and it was really able to find lots of information about all of the conversations around it because there is s much technology around us right now. My favorite part of the class was when we went into small groups and discussed about the readings we did and the different topics that were given to us. When I was in the small groups, I was able to share with others more easily than when we were discussing as a whole class. I think that I could have participated more with the class than I did. I kind of just sat there quiet most of the time and when we had discussions I would just listen, but when we were in small groups I was able to somewhat participate. I learned a lot to help make my writing better.
         I didn't know about passive and active sentences before the class and I tried to use a lot more active sentences in my essays and class writings to get more information out and get rid of the fluff. I also learned that I should not use you in my essays which I had been using quite a lot in all of my writings. On my next two essays I was able to get rid of all the you's. I put a lot in, but when I went back, I got rid of all of them and replaced them with different words. I think I would have liked to learn more about reading, but we didn't really have time in our class to read a book and talk about it. The moving of the deadlines helped me a lot by giving me enough time to give my essays the touch ups that I wanted. I think that with all the new things I learned I will be able to be successful in my next college English class and my high school English class too.
