M.+Course+Reflection

﻿My growth as a writer has most definitely been mainly this year. My growth in writing has become much more vivid and descriptive whether it

is an essay or merely a short story. The main point I have grown on the most has been my sentence structure and development to gain the

reader's attention. However, I do still need to work on less use of the words "you" and "I."

My favorite piece of writing throughout this school year would be my persuasive essay, "2012 Conspiracy Theory" paper that I wrote in late

December/early January. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece the most because it gave me the chance to express my opinion on a controversial

topic that is affecting people (believe it or not) around the globe. In the paper I state the facts on this world-wide spoof that has been argued

about for a little over a year now that even inspired the movie "2012." My least favorite piece I wrote was the Gatsby essay because it was

uninteresting to write about in my opinion. I am the kind of person that likes to have most of the reigns in my writing and I felt I did not get

enough freedom with that paper.

I find that wiki is much easier and well put together than just simply typing up a paper and handing it into our teachers. Wiki gives us a chance

to decorate and express ourselves throughout the page layouts and discussions that we can have on each other's writing. Paper portfolios are

also very easy to misplace and keep track of if it is simply a manilla folder like what most students had to do in middle school. I've enjoyed

using Wiki these past two years because it lets us be unique. We're allowed to choose the colors of our fonts, the backgrounds, and we can

even upload pictures onto our pages for even more detail! I hope Wiki can continue to be used for rising students throughout English classes

and even other courses! (:
