For my final blog of my English Composition I class I write about the top 10 doings/ accomplishments throughout the semester. Over the past 4 and a half months I created my own website and filled it with a whole lot of writing and thoughts. There has been so much to be proud of in the creation of the final product.

In this blog post I talk about my English Composition I class. I explain how it has helped me grow and learn as a writer and enjoy english more than I have in the past. To help me with this blog post I read/watched Reflective Writing, Genres in Academic Writing: Reflection, What is a Vlog?, How to upload a Video to Youtube, How to Upload a Video to Youtube From your Phone, How to Embed a Youtube Video on Weebly Blog and Youtube Video Editor.
Entering English Composition I, I was nervous. English was never my strong suit and I never enjoyed writing. As we started by created websites and blogs it changed my perspective a whole lot. These types of writing made me excited to write. Looking at my writing in different ways such as starting with a normal blog about a scene to working up to doing a blackout poem of it to a whole narrative allowed me to see ways I can improve and see my writing differently. My favorite assignment has been the scene writing where I sat in one spot and observed and wrote about everything I saw, heard, smelt, felt and tasted. It opened up my mind to a true scene rather than what I used to think a scene was. While it was my favorite assignment it was probably the hardest assignment I have done as well. It challenged me to open up my writing and take a different path. It showed me that what I thought a scene was, was not correct. I liked being able to make that connection in those assignments though and change my writing style. Also during this course my teacher has keeps the course exciting and always captures our attention with his unique personality and teaching styles. My three primary intrinsic English Composition I goals are to exceed my standard work and go above and beyond when given the chance to because I know I am capable to do more. Another goal I have is to get work done way before the due date and space out my time accordingly so I don’t feel overwhelmed or rushed. My last goal would be to always come to class with a positive attitude because positivity radiates on others. In this weeks blog I read What is a found poem? | Sample found poem | Visual examples of found poems. After these readings I was able to look at my narrative project and use the erasure method to make a poem out of my work. Section I: Section II:
Yes, I believe description goes a long way in stories like narratives. I focused on using description for the setting to help the reader picture themselves in my shoes that night. |
