Tuesdays class

This class period was very helpful to me.  I was able to better understand what kind of topics this paper would require.  I was also able to narrow down my topic search to three different possible things.  I really liked how we all sat in a circle to shar our ideas about the different prompts that we were given,  That was a very helpful excercise becasue it allowed me to get many different possible topic ideas.  Without this class period I dont think tht I would have a topic picked out.

course experience

This course has been really helpful to me.  I have learned a lot and it has helped my grammar so much.  I feel like I am better at writing and that I am able to write a paper with more influence then I previously could.  I have also become better at peer editing.  This has always been a struggle for me and I have not always been very good at correcting other people's papers, but now I feel like I have grown so much and I am able to help other people with their papers and grammar.
The teacher of this course has also been very helpful to me and is a major part of my success in this class.  I have been able to go up to him and ask him anything and he will give me a response to my question.  He has also been very understanding about if I am a few minutes late to class due to sports or even being at the doctor.  He has helped me grow as an English student.  I am so much better at writing and I can catch so many more mistakes in writing because he has showed me where those mistakes are in my papers.
Overall this course has only influenced me positively.  I am really glad that I took it because I have become a better writer because of it.

process of my narrative

I began by picking my topic which was realtively easy.  I knew that I was going to write about how swimming has influenced my life as a whole, and made me the person I am today.  Once I got my topic approved I had plan out what I was going to write about.  I decided to write about how swimming came into my life and how that has changed me into the person I am today through the background of my swimming career.
After I got my first draft done I had to work on revising it. I was not sure what I could do to improve my paper after the first draft.  then we had a peer review day and I got some ideas from my fellow peers.  After I had their advice I rewrote my paper and added some more information and took out some that was not needed.  The next step that I had to go through was the meeting with Ryan.  He told me that I need to fix some grammar errors and make the story a little more personal.  I am still in the process of makeing the final draft and having all my paper just the wy that I want it to be.
