writing for this class and beyond

Even though all of the English classes that I've taken have been writing intensive, I feel that the writing I have done for this class has prepared me the best for any writing I will have to do in the future.

This class has taught me how to make important decisions as a writer. We had to choose our own communities, which was an important decision because the remaining of the writing we were assigned to do had to be related to our community. After making that first decision, I also had to make decisions regarding different genres I would write my assignments in, especially for the initiating action assignment. I had to figure out what genre would be the most effective for the argument I was trying to prove (how the most publicized animal rights groups are also the most extreme). I also had to figure out the most effective presentation to convey information to the class.

Being able to effectively make these decisions will help me in future writing because decisions like choosing a genre will always have to be made, no matter what type of writing I will have to do. I feel that becoming better at making these kind of basic "writerly" choices will lead to better writing.
