My quality of writing since beginning my blog has improved dramatically. For instance, I have grown in preventing spelling errors. On one of my first posts, I spelled argument wrong. This I have corrected because I spelled all of the words right on the last few of my posts. Also, I have have become more specific in the details. Towards the beginning of this project I had done well because I included parts from the text, but the actual details were not specific enough. Since in both blogs I wrote about text to text connections, I can compare them. My first blog only consisted of a four line connection, but my last one was five paragraphs long!
One thing I did struggle with this trimester was finding things to write about. Once I covered the topics on the rubric, I wasn't sure what to do. I found my writing becoming repetitive because I had no other ideas. I overcame this by thinking harder and spending more time planning my blogs. I also looked at my classmates blogs when I was commenting and was inspired by theirs. One strength I had while blogging was including text from my book. I think in most of my blogs there was actual text evidence to prove my point. I did not meet my reading goal because I set it for a year instead of one trimester. I updated goodreads.com pretty frequently, but mostly I used it to find a new book to read when I needed one. Lastly, I have improved as a reader over the course of the trimester because I have noticed the connections, setting, and more in my book so that I could blog about it. I think I will continue to notice these and even if I do not blog about it, it will allow me to better understand.
