FINAL BLOG!!!!!!

Since the beginning of the semester, my writing has improved so much. I have noticed that I can make a better argument, and that my ideas flow better together instead of just being random thoughts. My grammar has got better also. The strategies that have been the most helpful is making sure I do all the drafts well ahead of the due date, and writing down my random thoughts then making a thesis statement out of them. The one paper that was probably easiest for me to complete was the one over our short stories we read. I did the "Metamorphosis" and that was the easiest because I was real into what I was writing and it all made sense to me. Also, I think it was because I got to choose what story I wanted to write it over and not just have one. That was a big help, so if I did not understand one story, then I got to choose another one. Out of all the lesssons, the one that was probably most beneficial to me was all the lessons over writing our papers. I have became such a better writing by learning how to start a paper and how to make an awesome thesis statement. I do feel more prepared on writing college-level papers, but I still feel like I have a lot of room left for improvement. I believe that I will have writing papers down real well by the end of next year. Practice makes perfect!
