Blog 4 :Reflection 1

I knew about blogging but never made my own blog but in ENG102, I got a chance to make my own blog which is really interesting and enjoyable. The blog helps me to stay connected with my classmates and professor and also helps me to learn, interact and see what other classmates are doing. It also helps me to know beforehand what we will be doing in the class the following day. Blogging is helping me to learn and improve on my writing as others can view my blog and give their feedback. Doing essays on blog is a whole new concept for me but now i am getting used to it.
The theme of our class which is Supernatural is really exciting and fascinating because it is a topic to which I find interesting. Till now I have learned to find the hidden story in the poem, the tone and different literary elements and these have helped me to understand literature better. This English class is different from all the other english classes I have ever taken in which I had to just read textbooks and write essays but in this class it is not only reading but we are free to talk and research on any supernatural thing we like and the best thing is we are not limited to only one topic. These all things have helped me to think,read and research which is helping in improving my reading and writing skills. I usually use google,jstor,yahoo and bing search engines to do my research work. I know about wikipedia also but i used it rarely as my other professors told me it is not a good search engine but after coming to this class I learned that wikipedia is also very useful and can be used for research work so all thanks to Professor Smith for introducing to wikipedia.I really enjoy my time in the class because it is so interesting and interactive because of blogs and group discussions as we can share our ideas with the other classmates and professor and thank you Professor Smith for making english class so lively and interesting for all of us.
