Creative class

The Literacy Narrative was sort of a trial and error project. I wrote the essay the best way I knew how and hoped for the best grade. I did though get to tackle a more creative aspect of my writing that needed much working on. Since this essay was based on our own experiences, it allowed me to be as creative as I would like rather than being confined to the requirements that something like a research paper would have. Despite this, I still realized that my Literacy Narrative was not my strongest…

toys to a page to host all the pictures from my semi-annual Barbie fashion shows. Although the technology at my fingertips was getting stronger, my interest in computers was overtaken by my love for the arts in middle school. I began to explore creative writing and movie making. My parents encouraged me to join robotics, but all the boys were doing that, so I kept at my passion for reading and writing. I became passionate about making short films. My favorite part of creating the films was…

Over the first several weeks of school I have had the rewarding experience of being involved with the fast-track English 111 class provided by my high school and local community college. I have gained experience in managing deadlines, juggling prompts, meeting various criteria, and learning what it truly is that makes writing both correct and brilliant. Coming into this class, I truly lacked a general understanding of proper writing. I wasn’t able to write in MLA format, let alone understand…

Justification Essay The essay that I have chosen to feature in my creative writing portfolio, is entitled The Ghost Rider. The Ghost Rider will always have a special place in my heart, because of the people that I have met, and the turmoil that I have survived. In 2011 I experienced the largest fears that I could have ever dreamed of. I lost my place to live in Tulsa Oklahoma. I became one of those statistics that you hear so often in the National News. During this time of my life, I was…

Since starting this class I have noticed how much I write. I journal at least once a week, I’ve had assignments of all kinds that I’ve had papers for, and I spend a great deal of my time on my phone answering messages. I tried my best to get an A in this class, even though I got sick often, and my attendance was poor on the worst days. I tried to participate even when I wasn’t there; for example, I was messaging Garrett argument ideas through Facebook while I as in bed sick. This was one of my…

never been very interested in writing or much enjoyed English class. People have always told me my writing was good, but I never cared much because the process of writing itself was such a burden. As time went on I learned more strategies to make writing easier so I could get it out of the way faster, but I never really learned to love it. By the time I reached my sophomore year of high school I still strongly disliked narrative or creative writing, but I could tolerate, and sometimes even…

I feel my biggest success was adjusting to the idea of technical writing and implementing what I have learned. Taking this class was a bit intimidating at first. I had never been involved in a class like this and with a name like Technical Writing, it sounded very strict, difficult, and the opposite of fun. Once I started doing assignments, my whole perspective on technical writing changed and I was more successful that I thought I would be. The biggest challenge of this course would…

Prior to English 101, I have been taking several English classes, but each class helped me little by little to an English 101 student. Learning to have efficient studying habits such as study the day of the class and not doing things last minute. Also learning how to actually study other subjects and how to think critically. This has increased my learning habits. My student habits have changed dramatically, In and out of school. moving up in college you have to take your studies seriously. My…

thinking any type of story line was off-limits. My family’s support and high regard of writing definitely made me write more and I even took creative writing classes. It was because of this kind of preparation that I had that I began to have confidence in myself as a writer. Whenever I turned in an essay for English class or a short story for creative writing class, I would submit it with no qualms because I was self-assured. I had trust in my capability and I owe it all to my home…
