I am always looking for ways to broaden my vocabulary but a
teacher I had once told me “not to use a thesaurus to write my paper for me”.
This chapter clarified what he had meant.
I appreciate the color-coded organization chart visualizing a
descriptive essay and plan to refer back to this chart. The checklist for
revising description also stood out as a tool I can use to improve my writing.
Reviewing the things which stuck out to me has let me understand my learning
style a bit more: I like lists, I like organization, and I like examples.
I did not do them before, shamefully, but the writing
assignments at the end of the readings are really helpful in applying what I
just read. I plan to complete these “quizzes” more often and look forward to
reading back and seeing my progress.
