Throughout my English class this semester I have learned how to make meaning in a way that I haven't been able to while studying in my college. My professor defines making meaning as compose. In the dictionary compose means write or create. Making meaning in a different way of writing or should I say blogging. In this class we were required to created a blog (this blog) and post our writing. When I first heard what we were doing I wasn't all that excited about it because all of my posts would be public for our other classmates to view and critique. I'm secure with my writing and have things I need to work on to become better but it's still a venerable thing for me to be so open with my writing. But on another note it was also a good thing because we were all given the same topic and since we all don't write the same, I had a chance to see how other classmates tackled the same assignment as I had to. By posting our writings it helpful in a sense because if I didn't understand or wasn't sure I about the assignment I had the opportunity to look at other classmates work and get a better idea. These writings weren't that normal traditional only on paper and just boring, instead I had a chance of creating my blog to my own liking making it about me. It was a great way for me to interact with other classmates, by commenting on other posts and getting feedback for my writing as well. It was a new way of learning and I liked it. Also it was interesting, and I didn't lose focus on what I was doing. Surprisingly I will be finishing off this semester the way I started off intrigued and excited, not the usual just ready for the semester to end.
