Dear English 110 Students,
I hope you are ready for a quarter filled with Sci-fi TV shows, blogging, and a little bit of formal writing. When I first started the class, blogging every single day intimidated me a bit. After a while though, I became used to it. 250 words may seem like a lot at first, but after you get the hang of it, you can do a blog in less than 5 minutes. As long as you keep up with your blogs every day, you should be able to get a decent grade in the class. Along with blogging every day, be sure to work on your comments! If I were to go back now and take this class differently, I would have finished my comments a long tome ago. Most people thought they would be fine putting them off until the last minute, but it’s not very fun when you have a week left and 50 comments to go. This class also has made me much more comfortable with my free writing. It is much easier to write freely, and blogging every day actually did help that. Another thing is watching the science fiction shows. For anyone that is into normal high school drama and a little bit of violence, I would suggest watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After a few episodes, I ended up enjoying watching the shows when I had to. The themes of each episode were also pretty easy to figure out, which helped in the end with my ARP. Good luck this quarter! Don’t fall behind and you will be sure to get a good grade!

I agree that the blogs got a lot easier as the quarter went on, and it does make writing a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteActually putting my comments off to the last minute was better. My last exam was Tuesday morning so I was able to focus on commenting and my paper all this time so it hasn't been too bad. But that's only because I don't have anything else to do.
ReplyDeleteThese blogs did get easier!
