Second, write five sentences in which you address changes in your writing.
I'm not exactly sure where to start with this one? The weeks readings were on word use, commonly misused words, and spelling. I'm not asking for any answers I just am not sure what they mean by 'addressing the changes' in our 5 sentences.
It sounds as if "addressing the changes" means you need to contrast how you were writing before you began this class with how you are writing now. In other words, what have you learned and what do you do differently as a result. Here are some possible examples, but of course only you will be able to write about your own writing.

BEFORE
~writing fragments
~commas used incorrectly or not at all
~verb tenses confused
~spelling errors
~word choice (using the wrong word among confusable pairs -- http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/notorious.htm )
AFTER
~recognizing fragments and fixing them while editing/proofing
~gaining control over comma uses
~using verb tenses correctly
~learning to learn from spell check; learning to use dictionaries more effectively
~learning the differences between pairs/sets of confusable words - or looking them up during editing/proofing
Addressing changes in your writing means acknowledging and discussing the modifications and improvements you have made. To write five sentences addressing changes in your writing, here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Start by reflecting on the topics covered in the week's readings, such as word use, commonly misused words, and spelling.
2. Identify specific areas where you have noticed changes in your writing. Have you become more conscious of word choice? Have you improved your understanding of commonly misused words?
3. Discuss how these changes have influenced your writing style. For example, you may have developed a more precise and nuanced vocabulary, resulting in more concise and effective communication.
4. Provide examples or instances from your own writing where you have implemented these changes. Elaborate on how these changes have enhanced the clarity and overall impact of your work.
5. Conclude by expressing your ongoing commitment to further improvement and growth in your writing skills. State your willingness to continue learning and applying the knowledge gained from the readings and other resources.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively address the changes in your writing and provide a thoughtful response to the assignment.
