Growth in Language Arts

Over the semester, I have learned a lot more about language arts and how to use it in my future classroom. This class was very useful, because it gave me a lot of resources and different ways I can teach specific topics such as the writing process and reading process. I feel that I am more knowledgeable about a variety of topics in language arts and that I will definitely be able to better teach this topic in the future.

I have never done a blog before and at first I thought it was kind of silly, but over the semester, the weekly journaling has allowed me to express my thoughts and feelings and better develop my writing skills. I really enjoyed when we were able to do free writing blogs because it allowed me to talk about whatever was on my mind, rather than just answering a question.

I also enjoyed being able to make the book, because it put everything I learned about the writing process into one final project. It also allowed me to create a personal story and add whatever I wanted to into it. I was able to use every step of the writing process, create my own digital book, and add pictures to make it even more personal. I hope to someday use this in my classroom, because I think it is both a fun and educational way to apply the writing process.

Overall, I have really enjoyed this class and I have taken a lot from it. I am definitely saving the book as a reference because I think it has some great tools and ideas in it and it will help me out a lot in the future.
