The first day of class we did a free write, on what we knew, and needed to know about writing. Well first of all, how do you answer that question? Of course I know what I know, but how do I know about what I dont already know? I suppose I thought I knew everything about writing, It would be the same thing I've been learning for the past 12 years right? Oh how wrong the adolesant mind can be. I began to free write, on what I felt I knew and needed to know. We wrote, and wrote, I really only had one thing down on my free write that I needed to know more about, which was grammar of course. However, once she started talking, my head did a bit of a 360. Arguments and the structures of arguments, I didn't have a clue. There's alot more to writing that I have yet to learn, and I'm glad my English 101 class is expanding that opportunity. I think I can wait a little bit until we make that free write an actual paper though.
It's great that you admitted there's more you got to learn. It's shows that you are taking responsibility. Most people tend to think they know and say they don't need to know anymore about the subject but those type of people are lame. I say, you're acknowledged for admitting the truth. Good Deeds:]
