Reflection

I changed a lot in terms of my writing this year. It wasn't because of the format, the class, or anything like that, it was just because my skills improved with practice. I am a little more excited about reading, but that's just part of my natural ebb and flow. i have become a less informal writer and have used an actual structural format much more frequently. I think it's because I've learned to write what the teacher wants to see. Mr Evans was cool with any format and my informality in my essays and had us write timed essays. So, I rewrote what I could without a structure and used my speaking voice to write. With Dr Forman I knew he wanted us to use structure and have good examples and we had mostly take-home essays, so I took my time and used structure and plotted out my points more clearly. Really, though p, I don't think I've changed much. I've gained valuable insight into how college will be for me and how to read well for college and how to write in a manner that teachers like, but I had that propensity within me already. I guess, then, that this class brought out the skills I'll need for college earlier. This is because of my teacher (and not the details of class he taught), who made me write and read as though I was in college.
