What were the main causes we learned this past week?

I feel like I've learned a lot of new things throughout this week! I learned things from how to be confident in my writing and open all the way to how to make a video. Before i started taking English 12A I was never confident with what I wrote about, I was always insecure and concerned as to what people would think about my writing. When we started to create our own "This I believe Essay" and put it into a video for the class to see was when I realized that everyone has something to share regardless of what it was about and that I shouldn't be embarrass with what I had to say. Up until this week I had never in my life made any sort of video but learning how to use wevideo made me understand how to make one. 

What were the main ideas we learned this past week?

One of the biggest things we worked on in class during the first two weeks I think was helping me learn more about myself and how to be a better, more advanced writer and express my feelings in my writing. The activities that we did to help me with expressing my feelings while writing taught me that its okay to be myself, get personal, and to be open with my thoughts while doing my work. I think these things have made me a better writer already because I definitely feel more and more comfortable while writing papers in class.
