Growth in Writing 
Writing is one of my favorite things to do. Expressing yourself is so much easier when
given time to think about what needs to be said. I would like to believe that I have a
very rich writing history. I keep a journal of all my daily events. I also keep a book
close by so if I think of any poems I can write them down right away. My favorite piece
of writing was a story that I wrote in my first semester English class. The name of the
story was Fade. This Semester two of my classes will require me to turn in written
assignments.
This semester should not be two difficult in terms of how much writing I have to do. From
my preliminary observations I can tell that I will have one short paper due in Art
History 107 class. Although I only have one paper I have one paper, I have two essay
exams in my History class. I believe that with some help the writing portion of this
semester should be successful.
The Art History paper has to be two pages long. I have to go to a museum and compare two
of the exhibits to each other. Professor Cutis said that the first page of the paper
should be talking about my reactions to the exhibits using the vocabulary that we learned
in class. The second page should discuss the different time periods and there affects on
how the critics might have critiqued the works of art. Also, we have to describe what
kind of techniques the artist might have used and why. 
The most difficult part of this paper I believe will be trying to utilize the vocabulary
that my professor wants us to use, and figuring out the right ways to critique the art.
As for my essay exams in History, I have had a problem getting the right amount of
details incorporated with the facts. I talked to my History professor and he said that
the best way to know which details to add is to, read and re-read the notes from our
lectures. I have been trying to take very detailed notes so it will not be a problem when
the time comes for our first exam.
To conclude, this semester seems like this semester will be smooth sailing when it comes
to the writing aspect of my classes. I am hoping that with the help I receive from my
writing class I can produce the best papers of my college career.
