The most important things I have learned in this class are easily the TS/CD paragraph structure and the transition method. The TS/CD structure makes my papers more informative and still get my opinions across. It also makes my papers run a lot smoother. And the best thing is that it fills the pages up nicely. The transition is another tool i have to fill the pages. The most important thing it does is make the paper have great and smooth transitions. I will use both of these tools in the future, and i really wish i knew this before i started high school.
The aspects of this class that made me feel better about my writing was the actual transition assignments. It is the concept I grasp the most and understand it very well. I know I am good at the transitions with using old information getting to new information, and i am more confident to put it in my writings i will have to do in the future.
I hope that i will eventually be able to write TS/CD without knowing that I'm doing it at all. that way i will feel like i am a better writer knowing that it comes naturally to me. One thing i know i should never forget is the OWL at Purdue resource. It is one of the greatest resources I have ever been told of. It makes citations a lot easier, and they wont be as time consuming anymore. Overall I thought it was a great class and I have already recommended it to some of my friends.

Blog #5
Of course I preferred writing about the advertisement and how it affects peoples emotions rather than filling out a resume that i have done numerous times in my lifetime. Like i have mentioned before, I prefer having freedom in my writing rather than writing with no room of creativity.
I enjoyed writing the 4th essay, because it was something relevant to my interest. it was not hard to find something to write about since we see hundreds of advertisements everyday, they are even in our own home. If i had more time to work on it i probably would have remembered to put a work cited, and go more into detail that would support my arguement. I would have kept the same arguements though, and kept the same commercial since it is one of my favorites playing today. OIne thing i learned from writing this, is how much a simple advertisment that seems to do nothing, can do a lot to effect several emotions and needs. Every so often I realize that im analyzing a commercial and seeing what exactly it is doing.
I would not use a different format for my resume, I used a template in word that makes it look very professional and stands out from other resumes that i have seen. The best thing about having all the information together is that I know i have one place to go that will have all my information I need to fill out, yet another, resume. The biggest pain for me was to get the references and all their information and also where i worked before and when I worked and all that useless information.

Blog #4
Out of all the essays I have done so far my favorite is definitely the third essay. It was not the most specific essay and I could really go into depth about something I actually take to heart. On all the essays I think I should get about a B on all of them, because I didn't give myself enough time to perfect my paper. I have a bad tendency to wait for the last minute to do anything like a paper or project, unless its a group project. I wouldnt say I work well under the pressure and speed of summer school, I would say I survive well under the speed and pressure. I don't plan on falling behind, but I'm not going to focus my entire summer on school. If I had more time I would work on my papers more and earlier so that I feel more confident about getting a good grade.

blog #3
The second blog was the easier to write, because it is more personal. It was easier because I wasn't reflecting on information I read, but information I experienced throughout my life. Obviously I enjoy writing the more personal blogs over the non-personal blogs, simply because they are more interesting for me to write. The hardest thing for me out of both of the blogs was going back and trying to remember all the information for the first blog. The second blog I got through with ease. If I could redo my blogs I would improve them just by making it flow better, and making what I'm trying to say a lot easier. I have no reason not to use any of the strategies, I've learned in the this class for other classes. It depends on the situation, if its another blog, then i won't use it. If it's a formal paper then I would definitely use the strategies.
