To Whom it May Concern

To Whom it May Concern:

       Over the past semester I have learned so many techniques and topics to improve my writing in many ways. Reading published works helped to give examples and demonstrate what good writing can be. I learned a lot about different types of writing. from picture narratives to exemplification papers. This will be extremely beneficial to my future endeavors in writing and English based courses. The material taught in the course will help me be a better writer in so many aspects, and has gotten me prepared to further my education.

     I have grown as a writer throughout this course.  I wrote my first picture narrative and I believe this is the place where I really preformed well. Being able to use creativity and make the paper anything you wanted it to be, that freedom really made me like this assignment early on in the year. Showing not telling is a phrase often used through out the course and really has made me be optimistic as a writer.

  Exemplification was a technique I used not only in this class. Learning about how showing and making a point with research and personal experience is a great paper, it can really reach out to the reader. I used this in one of my Syracuse University Project Advance courses and applying what I have learned to this class in other places is what makes what I have worked on so beneficial. This was used in my cookie paper, research and personal experience from class was used. Revising this paper in my blog entries I used new introduction techniques.

This course has taught me how to use comparison in many types of writing. Using point- by-point or subject-by-subject. This I demonstrated in my piece about the Seven Deadly sins, point- by-point. Comparing different aspects in each individual paragraph.

Making new conclusions and new introductions, learning how to improve them is something that made my writing so much better. Intriguing the reader and summarizing with predictions is something that I learned that I really take into considerations during my writing.

The how-to-paper, was a new type of writing I learned in this course. This new technique helps list out aspects of anything you want to write about. This really brings out creativity.

College Composition has beneficial to me as a writer. Using new aspects of writing that I have  brought into my knowledge is going o improve my writing has a whole and I plan to use what I have demonstrated in this portfolio to help me further my writing in the future.

Thank you for your time,
