Inquiry- Reflection on the journey
Over the past 12 weeks I have learnt important writing techniques. I feel these will help me as I advance through university study and further on.
The key I have learnt the importance of the following in media writing.
- Reviewing and editing
- Grammar and spelling
- Writing styles
- Media platforms
- KISS
- Inverted pyramid structure
- Lead paragraphs and the five W’s and an H
I have enjoyed this term and thank everyone for their feedback. It’s been a fun, albeit exhausting time!
Cheers,
Rebecca
Practical – Blog review
As per previous assessment feedback some areas that I needed to work on are :
- Punctuation (no surprises)
- Style
- Tense
I have made gone through every blog post picking up on these errors. I have also read it out aloud as it really does make a difference in picking up those awkward sentences.
Technical – Reflect on the quizzes
This term, weekly quizzes tested our understanding of the prescribed text, English for Journalists.
Contrary to what seems to be popular opinion, I found it hard to engage in the text ‘English for Journalists’.
This could simply be my own different learning style. I find it hard to absorb any information from it. I am sure it is valuable for others though, otherwise it wouldn’t be a top seller!
I have to say, I am happy to be done with the quizzes.
I am a bit disappointed I didn’t always get good results but I am putting in the work to improve and hopefully this shows.
