English 101

Critical reading and writing were my weakest areas in high school. I always considered myself a math person because I enjoy being challenged and solving solutions. When I received the e-mail that I would be in a hybrid English class I basically panicked. I wasn’t really sure what hybrid meant so I thought maybe it was an advanced English class…which meant more work in my eyes.
I have never enjoyed an actual English class until Expository Writing & Reading because I think that now the students get treated like adults so the conversations we engage in in class are more interesting. Things were very dry and boring in high school which is why I never focused or cared to actually put a lot of effort in my writing. I have noticed a change in my writing with the curriculum and I like having more freedom, with the readings and discussions and even project 1. Being able to write about whatever we want allows me to be more creative. Finally, I also think that peer reviews and having everyone’s posts being public allows other students to understand things better and see how everyone else is doing. I know personally that when I get discouraged I can just look at the blog and reading other people’s posts gives me an idea of what to write.
