As last unit came to a close We were introduced to a new unit in which we would learn abut new things and work on prior knowledge. Coming into this unit I wasn't quite sure how to feel, not because of the workload but because of the amount of areas that I was not familiar with. Before this unit started I had no idea what a rhetorical precis was, but now I have a full understanding and can even write them with great ease. The grammar lessons that we completed also brought forth new writing skills that I was able to use in my essay that we completed in class. The essay was a different story within itself. When I got to class earlier today I felt that I had all of the right information and knowledge to produce a great essay, but it was quite the opposite. I froze. I don't know what  it was, but I couldn't seem to put down on paper exactly what I was trying to say, so I began to just rant, or that's what it felt like. The end result of my essay felt to me to be terrible, and I am unhappy. Other than that, this unit helped a lot, and showed me that even with a larger workload I can produce my work on time and in great quality.

I hope all of you got as much out of this unit as I did and are happy with the results an progress you are making to both your regular work and writing pieces.
