number 9

As Writing 2 comes close to its end it was only right that we did what we should have done at the beginning… let me teach the class.

Sike, I wish.

With a short week we had our presentations on our only day of class in Writing 2 but I can say I learned. This week’s presentations were really helpful because they were able to refresh my mind on different topics like citations, works cited, sentence structure, FANBOYS, and other topics. Some of these topics were review but for a lot of topics I learned something new. One rule that I found especially weird and never had I seen before was the use of semicolons in sentences that list cities like this: Santa Barbara, California; Miami, Florida; and Austin, Texas.

I not only learned about the topics with each presentation but the presentation itself was a lesson. Seeing others present only allowed me to see what I could have included in my presentation to make it more effective. I learned that even the smallest of details matter when performing. Some details that I learned to pay better attention to in the future are making sure I work more collectively in a group, making sure I do a better job at understanding what entertains my audience, and being more original in the format of the presentation.

Overall, the presentations were very helpful and entertaining! I loved this activity.
