Blog assignment #15 will be my final blog. I think it is fitting for my final blog to be a final reflection on my growth as a writer throughout this past semester. I used the links Reflective Writing and Genres in Academic Writing: Reflection to help construct my reflection.
For my final reflection I will be responding to the following four questions. Your author identity. How has it changed in this course? My author identity has grown and changed immensely in this course. At the beginning of this course I just considered myself to be a writer. Now I can call myself a blogger, MLA composer, and memorous. Your theory of writing. How has this course impacted the way you define and value writing? Which composition concepts/terms do you most value? This course has greatly impacted the way in which I define and value writing. I previously thought of writing as a task that I just needed to accomplish. I would have a set question in which I needed to respond to and a list of objectives that needed to be completed in my writing. Now I value writer as more than a task that has to be completed, but as composing a meaningful scene that contains showing and telling. The composition term that I value most is discourse community. I never heard of this concept before the first day of my English composition course. Using a discourse community within our classroom allows for us to interact with our peers on our writing assignments. I really appreciated how we were able to view all of our classmates blogs and formal assignments. Whether it was to look for a sense of direction on an assignment or to write a response to one of our classmates blog posts. Your growth as a writer. How are your past academic writing experiences different from your present experiences with writing in this course? How are the past and present experiences the same? My past academic writing experiences were different then my present writing experiences in this course because I learned to value my writing more in this course. Like I mentioned in my response to the previous question I used to think of writing as a task that had a set of objectives that needed to be included to make the writing complete. But in this course I learned that writing contains a process, and the process does not begin with a perfect first draft. I learned that writing is more then just answering a question, writing is meant to show the reader what is happening and let the reader feel all of the emotions that were felt in the scene you are describing. My past academic writing experiences are the same as my present experiences because they are both writing. I had to put together around 1000 words to form a coherent essay that I could turn into my professor to get a grad on. Your knowledge transfer to future writing situations. How do you plan to use your growing writing knowledge to compose texts in future academic and non-academic contexts I plan to use my growing writing knowledge to compose texts in future academic and non-academic contexts by continuing to write and make meaning. I actually enjoyed writing blog posts each week. Maybe I’ll continue blogging. But I know that I will continue to use as much showing and emotions that I can in my writing.
