Extra Credit Blog: The most important skill

The most important skill I picked up so far in English is probably DGP. It has not only helped me in writing papers in English, but has helped me write more fluently in other classes like science and math. Annotating, decoding and skills like those ones are good and all, but you cannot really apply them to other classes. The skill hasn't stopped in school though, at my house, I have become better at writing. I can now type emails and texts without feeling like I am stupid. The DGP practices we do in our journals have helped me out a great deal. Each time we do one, I feel smarter and feel like I can write confidently and with good puncuation. Hopefully, this is a skill that will remain with me through the rest of highschool, and, maybe, the rest of my life.
