Throughout the blog process, I definitely learned how to tighten my writing. In high school I was always given an assigned number of pages to complete for a certain project. If the paper was supposed to be 5 pages and I only needed 4 pages to complete my argument, I simply went back and added unnecessary material. In response, I got into the habit of writing for length rather than content. In this class however, content is stressed rather than length, which is how it should be. I found myself omitting a lot of material in order to make my writing tighter, and more precise.
Also, my argumentative writing has improved. I am now accustomed to providing support for my argument. Before this class, I would simply give my opinion but never support it with concrete evidence. Now, along with every opinion I give, I automatically have support to back it up. In addition, I never included the other side of the argument. The “they say” part is extremely crucial, and this class taught me its importance.
I never considered myself an argumentative writer but now I feel as though I am pretty decent. Hopefully I will continue to improve.
