Blog #3

This entry is due by October 2nd at midnight.

For this entry, please write about Essay #1 (the summary). What do you like about this type of writing? What do you not like? Did you like the article you summarized? Why or why not? What would you have done differently given the opportunity (which you have, of course, as you can rewrite your essays for higher grades)? What will you keep the same? Did you use any outside sources to guide you (OWL, friends, previous experience, the textbook, etc.)? How did these sources help or hurt your writing?

This type of writing is called a "reflection." It is an integral part of the writing process--one that is often overlooked in writing classes. REFLECT on your experiences to help you grow as a writer. Someone much wiser than I once said that those who do not know the past are doomed to repeat it. Likewise, an ability to know your past should help you improve.
