Closure


To begin I have learned a lot in this class. The main things I will be taking with me is annotating and reading novels. I will be taking annotating because this is the main thing that helped me with my reading.  When I used to read, I never took notes or anything and I used to wonder why I always forget certain things that I read. When I began annotating I used to think everything was important and highlight or write almost everything. Now that I have mastered annotating I know how to distinguish the facts from details. I know what should be highlighted and what shouldn’t. I will also be taking reading with me because I have come to like reading a lot. I have learned that reading is a way for me to relax and free myself from thing around me. I now know that I can learn a lot from reading alone. I know what type of books I like best and what types of books I’m not interested in. the things I enjoyed most about this class was reading the book LIAR and discussing it with the class. This is what really drew me into reading. That book was one of the first books I have read and paid for. I really liked the book and learned a lot from it. I also like doing the novel projects because this gave me a way to loosen up and try to be creative. The last thing I liked was doing paper where we had to act like we were giving the author issues about the book. I liked this because it shows us how complicated it can get trying to write a book.
