After I finished the final draft of the second in-class essay, I feel more comfortable to write. The peer response helped me a lot to see the points of view from the readers. The readings for essays also help me to see how professional writer write their articles. I try to concentrate to follow the PIE technique. Overall I think this technique is not only very useful for English classes, but also for other classes’ reports or even helping my daily job.
In addition, the reading materials are very interesting. Although I have been living California for almost 10 years, I never really got chance to knowledge the history of the States. I used be an accountant in a travel agency, and took many tours with my colleagues. Even the tour guys always told us the history or story of the tourist attractions; I never really paid attention to them. After more and more readings about the California history, I suddenly realized all places on our itinerary content great history background. Behind the beautiful landscape and gorgeous cities, there were so many sad histories about Native American and Immigrations. The class makes me what to know more about the history of California.
