Blog Post 6: NEW SEMESTER
In my attempt to write a 150 word paragraph about my experiences in Journalism I closely examined all that I have learned and discovered. This first semester of Journalism, I learned how to properly write articles for a newspaper for both print and web. I learned how to write for news, sports, and opinions, and also learned many new techniques for all writing. My abilities have definitely improved but there is still room for improvement. The semester could have gone better however, I couldn’t get my stuff together before the end of the semester and get all my work done. Because of that, my grade suffered and I was/am not happy about that. I did not expect this class to be as fun as it is, but I also didn’t expect it to be as hard as it is. When I became an editor, then the entire class changed in terms of my involvement, my enjoyment of the class, and the amount that I care about this class. I am definitely proud to be a part of the Hatchet, and I’d like to get better at writing/editing, and get a good grade during second semester.
