After reading through my previous blog posts, I have noticed some things that are working quite well and some aspects I can improve upon. My posts that have pictures and links to help the reader further understand my points, are more effective than the posts that don’t. The posts that I could have improved on were posts where I did not give enough analysis or support for my idea/claim. An example of this is my blog post #7. I think if I had further analyzed and explained my sources and ideas I would have improved my blog post. Over the course of the semester I think I have become much more confident in my ability to write in different forms such as, letters, summaries, synthesis, introductions etc. Throughout all my posts I think my tone has stayed relatively the same. I am a slightly more formal writer, and generally don’t use humor in my writing.
Now after looking through some of my peers work, I am consistently impressed by people who change their tone and create lighter, funnier blog posts. These posts are more fun and entertaining to read. However I think it’s best when there is a balance between these more humorous posts and some posts that are more serious and informative. I think I can learn to step outside of my comfort zone a bit more regarding my tone. I think changing my tone on occasion, like some of my peers, will improve my overall writing ability.
