Hindsight 20/20

Well, looking back on a semester that covered grammar theory, diagramming, active/passive voice, appositives, and relative clauses, I feel I have gotten the gist of many of these areas, but I am still unsure of myself. In fact, my confidence in these departments makes me wonder if it's even worth it, learning grammar terms that is. I know that these things are important but I feel that to be a good writer one just has to write, write, write some more and write again. (Whew!) As a pre-service teacher I want to help other people get past the struggles that has plagued me. One area that I have truly enjoyed is the difference between grammar, grammar terms and SWE.
