This week we focused on reflecting on how words are important and how they work in the everyday world. We discussed why we use words and whether or not they are important. We also got into our individual journal groups to finish working on our literary journals and working out all of the kinks. Getting the Journal ready has been a challenge and has required hard work, but it is worth it.
This week I am working on revising all of my work for the portfolio that is due the last day of class. Working on revising all of my work has not been easy. To truly revise, you have to try very hard to make your work better and better. It is time consuming but it is really teaching me about how to look at my work with a critical eye and trying to better my own writing style. Overall, the creativity used in looking at your poems and short stories in a different way is good practice for future writing.
Overall, I have learned so much this semester from this A190 class. It has really taught me how to access the best part of my creative self. I have learned how to write, how to look at writing and how to revise and edit work as well. I can honestly say that I have developed very valuable skills that I will use later on in other English classes and in life. I have definitely been exposed to many different writers and types of writing that has influenced and been a part of my own personal writing style.
