This year has so far been one of great growth in English. Reflecting back on the year, although all the writing seemed tedious while I was doing it, I have learned a lot. After not writing more than one essay during my entire junior year, I was shaky but now I think I would be able to write an essay without too much trouble for an assignment.
Specifically, I enjoyed studying the memoir, for which I read A Long Way Gone. I actually prefer the format of the assignment where we had to create an accompanying presentation, because that guides me to the arguments I used in the essay. It also provided good practice in technology, because that was the first time I had ever made a prezi. It is a much more dynamic and interesting way to present information and the skills I learned will compliment the writing skills I gained from writing the essay. Similarly, the final project, which had the presentation as well, required a deeper level of understanding. Overall I am happy with the personal progress I have undergone this semester and am excited for more growth.
