This semester has flown by, I cannot believe this is already our last class blog! This week was a busy week, trying to get our literary journal organized and ready to present to the other group, and also trying to get all my revisions done for my final portfolio. It's definitely been a stressful week for this class, and it's only going to become more stressful. For the lit journals, I was in the Circle Group, and was assigned to make the table of contents, and also edit three different pieces of writing, which wasn't bad at all; however, trying to also make sure that my writings are at their best for the other group meant a lot of time and effort went into this literary journal this week.
On Wednesday, we discussed the significance of words, which was actually really interesting! When I read anything, I never stop and actually break down the words, and try and hear all the different tones, pitches, etc., but I know realize that certain words are there for a reason, and without even one specific word, it can completely change the entire piece, which blows my mind! After learning about this, we were then told that we were going to have to basically do this to one of our own writings, whichever one we choose, and read it in front of other students on our last day of English, which I'm not too excited about doing.
The only major struggle that I've come across is with my final portfolio. It's difficult for me to make so many revisions to one piece of writing, having to change it, sometimes completely different from where I wanted it. Without the revising tips, I always become blank, so I have really been trying to use those tips as much as possible. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this class, and would definitely recommend this course to someone! I learned a lot of new things, and have certainly improved my writing skills!
