What I expect to gain from this course is a new understanding of how to express yourself through what is known as a blog. Personally, I have never taken part in such activites but I am open to learning more about it. It's fresh, different, and I think that by doing the following lessons, it will benefit us for the future.
Skills I would like take from this course is the ability to learn from others, what they think, enjoy, desire, despise, and so on. It will give us a chance to explore different writing techniques and possibly enhance our own.
My biggest strength in English I think would be that I have a great understanding of it. This subject has always been my strong point. When writing comes into play, I can generally blow you away with what my mind produces. I feel that I can take a good sentence, and make it spectacular. Although I am not the best speller, I have amazing ideas and thoughts that are waiting to be given a voice.
My weaknesses in English would probably be my lack of siting sources. I for the life of me, cannot site a source. I try to, and sometimes succeed in this. However, I can get pretty lazy and kind of just "skip" it. I am also a terrible speller. Sometimes my mind is going too fast for my fingers to produce the correct words. I also have troubles giving class presentations. When twenty different retinas are peering at you, I honestly loose my voice. I would like to overtcome this though.
I really think you are getting how the blog helps you think things through and understand them better. Do you keep a journal or diary? I find that writing helps you process through all types of information. The more you write the better your fluency will get! I agree that you are an exceptional writer... I think you need to work on organization. When you have a rough draft... take and put it into outline form and you will see where you venture off. Try this with you “This I Believe” essay and let me know how it goes.
