reflection

during this unit i have learnt how to write several different styles of academic writing. some personally are more interesting than other bt over all they are not too much of a problem to construct. i mainly used the five basic paragraph essay for my writing, adapting it for the requirement of the different genre. i feel that i left some of this work i left somewhat near the finishing date but others pieces were completed well before time. it has been interesting introducing new words into my writing, and trying to write in both casual and in a "matter of fact" style which is still in the formal boundary.

the internet proved to be very effective information wise, whereas a host of book would have been much harder to research. the internet was able to provide me with the exact imformation i needed, promptly! if i were to have used books i would have had to read many chapters of many book to locate relevant information, which would have been almost impossible within school hours and would have been too much to take home, possibly to find that they did not have the information needed. Note taking from the internet was reltively easy. also, the internet was being cooperative whilst i was researching.

writing in the different styles was an interesting challenge, including the blog/reflection. i am certainly no used to writing in this style. after this unit grade 11 student should be ready for the end of year exams which are just around the corner.
