Well I never was great at writing classes.  I thought for sure that this class would be like all my other writing class, but i was wrong it was fun and i understood most of everything that was taught.  I really liked that when we had to write an essay we got to pick the subject we wanted to write about.

Some of the things that i have learned this semester are, when to start a new paragraph, how to get a better thesis statement, when to punctuate, and that short sentences are ok.  I had the trouble with getting a good thesis statement that would grab the readers attention.  I chose topics that had to do with horses because that is what i know the most about and can relate things to.  My favorite piece that i wrote would be the first essay about my pony cola.  I liked this essay because it was something that i could tell a good story about and get the readers attention right away.  The essay i had the hardest with was cause and effect.  I didn’t understand what my teacher wanted in the essay at first and even when i did find out it was hard to broden the essay.  As much trouble as i did have with the computers at first i really liked comment for the peer review. This worked nice because you have multiple people reading and changing parts.  It took less time to type than it would have to write it out by hand.

I believe i developed a new understanding for any writing class because i have a better understanding for it now.  For some reason i truly believe that it was the way that steve taught the class and how he explained everything.  i thought the class was fun and i enjoyed it a lot.
