Today there is many more ways to learn than just paper, which is better because some people find it easier to read a book and others think watching a video is better. I also think writing about something that I want to write about is the way to go. If someone is passionate about whatever they are writing then they will have fun with it, they will want to write more, they will want to prove their opinion. When a student writes a paper about how the themes of a story prove an argument, he or she might not really care and may not be able to write it well. But when it is something they like then it seems to just flow. Learning is easier when I see something rather than reading it out of a text book, like it says in the article.

This class not only provides us with opportunity to express ourselves in a number of medias but it also gives us an outlet to share our thoughts with the entire world. W A Mash is a huge website and my classmates and I never forget it. Every time one of our articles moves up a spot in ratings or one of us receives a comment on our piece, we are reminded that what we say and do today will remain in this world forever thanks to this website. While this class may not teach us to write standard five paragraph essays, it does teach us to exercise our minds to write on topics that truly mean something to us. With each assignment I look deeper into myself to discover what I am passionate about. To me, this class is about discovering yourself and who you want to be in this world.
