To the future ENG 101 bloggers,
Welcome to the world of blogging. At first, as a student, you might thing:
- Why am I blogging?
- What will I write about?
- Man, am I going to have to drop this class?
- This is lame.
However, the experience of having your own blog is actually great. It was an eye opener for me, as a student and as one who would like to continue her learning in language arts. I had learned a lot because of blogging. I got to learn what my own voice is like, how my tone is when typing out the next topics. Also, the genre of my blog was shocking to me. Its more related to my heritage and brought out more of myself though blogs.
Blog let me see myself. It allows you to experiment with different type of writing styles that might fit you. And the freedom to choice your own topics was fun. To be honest at times I hated coming up with my own topics but once I found the topic I would talk about in the blog, I gave it my all. I was more passionate about my writing during my blogging. In a saying, Blogging allowed me to spread my wings.
When we, the students, were told that we have to write a blog every week, I actually got scared and nervous. I didn't like the idea of blogging. Blogging seemed like I wouldn't learn a lot, I thought it was just bored people who would like to get attention and just start writing about random stuff, but it actually was fun.
When you start writing your own blog, make it something that you would know well and like talking about. Find new articles, videos, or pictures that is related to the topic, like cooking, DIY' s that could be helpful for other, cars, exercise, or even your heritage, and just roll with it. As long as the main topic has a lot of other little topics that could tie into it, you will be fine.
Blogging isn't something I will continue, but it was a valuable assignment that I learned from. I hope that during your ENG 101 class, you, as a student, will learn from blogging and understand where I am coming from.
Thank You
