Ignore this Title

How will you prove to your parents that you learned something?

It’s true; there’s nothing tangible to see, like a test or a piece of paper with 19/20 on it. But there is this blog.  I’m sure most classes don’t blog every Tuesday, or talk about “-isms”, or start class each day with a question that makes you have to really think.  Here I will try to explain how I will prove to my parents.

Even though they weren’t there during discussions, I will talk to my parents about the topics I am learning about, like Romanticism or Transcendentalism.  I think if I can explain the topics to them, they will know that I understand what they are.

I have also learned about different words, like loquacious or monolithic.  I will demonstrate my knowledge of sesquipedalian words, by going to pseudictionary and displaying what I created.

I will also show my parents my posts.  I am going to show them my most descriptive posts and also the ones that I had fun with.  I have learned how to write in different ways, varying from first person to dialogue.

Even though I don’t have any test scores to prove it, I hope they believe me.  Blogging is a weekly assignment, and it isn’t always easy to find an idea on a regular basis.  It’s also hard to analyze different 19th century concepts.  But it all pays off when you finally learn and understand.
