Reflective Letter (Draft #3)
Dear freshmen
Hey, this is Woojin. Nice to meet you.
You said you are planning to take this English class next semester, so you want to know about this class. Right? Ok, I will tell you. Did you see the rate of our professor, Sbatino Mangini, on the RateMyProfessor.com? Yeah, his class highly rated for DCCC students. I always check the easiness of class, and it also say this class is really easy. But you know what? I don’t recommend you to take this class if you are looking for some easy going classes. There are many other easy going English Composition classes with not many assignments and few easy tests. Even though this class doesn’t have to prepare for the test, there are many things to do during semester than those easy going classes. But definitely there are reasons why this class is so popular. No midterm and Final test? Maybe.. That’s the one of the reason. But the biggest reason I found is this. The HELPFUL class.
This class, all assignments are done by online, by our own blog, which we made in this class. Did you use my blog? If you didn’t, look over by blog first. Don’t forget to leave comments. After then, I will tell you more specifically about my blog and how those blog post helped me.
Did you see the blog post which is ‘Week Reflection?’ We did this once a week. If you take this class next semester, you will be surprised how much these post will help you. There is two section of this post. Class and Home. In the class section, we should write about what the content we’ve covered in past week. Every weekend, thinking of what did we do in class on past week, I could remind some concept what we did in class. You know, sometimes it is difficult to remember what we did last week in the class. As I did week reflection post every week, I could more attentive in class. Also, Home section, writing my own experience over the past week, helps me a lot. It helps me to create my essay subject.
Oh, did you ever heard “Roundtable” in writing? This was one of our blog post and it was interesting. I’ve never heard about roundtable in writing before, so “Roundtable” for me, was just round shape table. But as you can see form my post, it is kind of discuss table. It needs detail reading to write this post, not just light reading. I need to find what those authors are intended to talk in those readings. It helped to improve my reading skill. Also, I could improve the skill to find the main concept of each reading.
Did I tell you? This class require one essay and one research paper at the end of the class. Most of the blog posts are related with this further essay or research paper. “New Media Narrative” is the post which was the most helpful for me to write the Creative Nonfiction Essay. Every time when I wrote the theme of my essay, I had a trouble deciding what am I going to write about. By collecting some texture excerpts that show my story, I could easily decide the theme of my essay. It also helped to compose and organize my essays.
In our essay, our professor emphasize the scene. Especially, showing scene. Showing needs more specific details than telling. When our goal is simply to inform, telling can be the good way to do job. But our creative nonfiction was to write about our happening. We need showing scenes of essay to be more specific and not to be boring. Some of our blog post like “Showing Scenes,” helped me to write showing sentences.
After midterm conference, all of our blog posts were related with I-search paper. Have you ever heard about I-search paper? For me, even research paper was first time. If there was no process like posting blog, I couldn’t even start the I-search paper. One of the posts which was really helpful for me was “In Class Rhetorical Analysis.” In the Rhetorical triangle, there are three kinds of factors: Ethos, Logos and Pathos. By learning about the Rhetorical triangle, I could turn my thoughts and ideas into a credible and persuasive message. You should try this. Searching the Rhetorical analysis and try to analyze! It will help you a lot.
If you see my website, my I-search paper topic is about Organic food. This topic was intrigued from the movie which we saw in the class. You can also find this blog post of the movie. We covered a lot before doing I search paper. And yes, all of them helped me.
As I explained, you can figure how helpful this blog posting. It’s up to you taking this class or not. But for me so far, I really like this class and managing my website is really helpful. If you want to ask me about something more, just let me know. I wish you a good luck with your register. And have a wonderful day!!
Sincerely Woojin
