Creative class

I enjoy creative tasks and composing texts for leisure because I have a very imaginative mind; but I feel so confused whenever I have to write for academic purposes especially because it is so restrictive. However, one experience that shaped my attitude towards writing…

rather than telling them. But, I do have issues with how I use my tenses while I write. Before this class, I would find myself writing in the third person and I wanted to try out first person and really get into the character’s shoes. But, what I have learned is that writing in present tense in first person is much more difficult than I thought it was going to be. With some help and patience from the class, instructor and family I have a better grasp on the issue. But, it is something that I…

121-341 Already the instructor is aware this summer class was fast-paced; instead of sixteen weeks, the summer class has ten weeks, so many students were crushed and burned out. In this short period, the subject focused on the purpose of writing for different audience. Students were also encouraged to use various tools like, “Brainfuse,” Tutoring Lab and My Writing Lab, so as to improve the skills needed to communicate effectively. Overall, the class was not totally new but the approach was…

I remember being concerned when I received a very good score, but yet there were corrections concerned with my mechanics and legibility spattered about the pages in red ink. My concern with my own self-prompted creative writing impelled me to ask my teacher about the proper usage of a comma. We had a heated exchange over this that led me to being isolated in the principal’s office afterwards. She insisted that I used the comma the wrong way, that her way was right…

days I dread the time when I have to go home and write another really long essay. My writing process has always been about the same from year to year because I tend to do very well on most of them. I have really enjoyed reading books and plays in class, and I hope we can do that in the future. Over the years, I have defined a technique for writing essays that best suits me. I always type essays on a computer at my desk, which is located in the office space at my house. There is no specific…

What I’ve learned in English class this year What have I learned from my English class this year? When my Sophomore year began, I had no clue how it would go. Everyone that has been Sophomore before, said that this year would be harder than your freshman year. When I first heard this, I was like “What?, For real?” while I was chuckling under my breath and saying to them “ It’s going to be a piece of cake for me this year”. Then when it came to the start of the new school…

REALIZATION “Chicago,” I said, as we drove past the Chicago Theatre. I remember reading every word that my eyes could catch as we careened down the picturesque streets of downtown Chicago. I was not certain where my driver was taking me at the time, but I knew that I did not want to be in the car with that callous, old woman anymore. She was my caseworker, Ms. Jordan, and she was in charge of finding me a family. My preferred caseworker was Ms. Kelly, she was pleasant and she always made me…

Have you ever asked your child what they read at school ? Well what if they told you that they read The Tell-Tale Heart by this crazy dude. The writer must have been thinking crazy when he wrote it . He was out of his mind the whole story. That made me want to read more of the story. Im all for the short story because im interested in stories like that. I like weird and mystery stories. This makes me want to know a little more about him and his history life style. That betters my education about…

1) Honestly, I believe that my writing in this class reveals that I am not a great writer and I am not fluent in English, at all. Even though I have passed the California English (or ESL) standard test for English learner or students that have English as a second language, however, I am still not very proficient in the language. For example, I have a difficult time pronouncing the plurals when I read something out loud and I still continue to make simple grammar mistakes in my writing.…

When it comes to Composition 1, I learned a lot. In the beginning I wanted to learn how to become a better and creative writer. I also wanted to learn how to come up with topics and write about them easier. One last very important thing that I wanted to learn was how to prepare myself for college next year. After finishing Composition 1, I can say that I did accomplish all of those goals. I accomplished my goals because I worked really hard and focused on every single paper. In the beginning,…
