Blog posts are helping me prepare for my first paper because
I am collecting ideas from the topics I have been studying so far. Reading the texts that have been
assigned and posting blogs about them is all practice for the formal
papers. Keeping myself constantly
working on these blogs is getting
me more comfortable with reading, writing, prewriting, taking notes etc. I can post blogs about anything and get
feedback from classmates, so logically I could post ideas for my paper and ask
my piers to give me feedback.
Sometimes coming up with ideas can be very difficult for me, so that
section in our textbook we read about all different types of prewriting helped
me tremendously. Prewriting
techniques such as free writing and stream of consciousness both begin with
writing about something that may be completely insignificant to the assignment,
but the point is that it opens up your mind to create new ideas that can
ultimately be used in a formal paper. If I am struggling to find ideas for my paper I can
create a blog just to get my mind working and I might end up with a new idea by
the time my blog is posted.
