Reflecting on memorandum

I am honestly happy that writing a memorandum was an assignment for our class this semester. I believe it has taught me how to write a professional piece of work, and now I am confident if I ever do have to write one in my future education career. Besides learning how to write a professional piece of work, I also learned a ton of new, beneficial information regarding the teaching of writing. This came from the numerous article readings, including mine and those from my peers. The main concepts learned about the teaching of writing that I have incorporated into my memorandum I will take with me into my education career, and hopefully they will put me more at ease when dealing with how to teach writing to elementary students. I found a lot of information useful, and especially hearing first-hand accounts from "current" teachers in the articles gave me ideas and confidence.
Back to the actual memorandum...I am glad we wrote it, even if it was a "mock" memorandum. The "Iraq" example memorandum was helpful to look at, when concerning the structure. I not only learned how to structure the piece of writing, but also how to write in a completely formal matter with a strong background and purpse. I enjoyed this assignment as a whole.
