Loryn+Reflection

My reflection of this class is that I loved it. My best memory was when Mariah had wrote that we all have herpes. I feel like the easiest thing to write for me was about my own character, I am a lot of a better writer when I am writing by myself. The most difficult was probably the quest stories only because we had to work with someone else who had different ideas then us. If it was up to me I would've had each one of us write a different quest. I loved writing on my own, but writing as a whole had some good use to it too. You got to hear other peoples opinions and you had gotten some help from friends. I think that the best piece of work that I did was my character biography, I think that this was my best piece of work because I was very excited to make up someone to my liking and I had just wrote everything that I wanted her to be. Like a assassin, that was pretty cool. I think that I improved as a writer because I had make a lot of mistakes but people had read over it and helped me, and now I know what to look out for. When it comes to writing I try and be a perfectionist but it just doesn't work, I write about myself a lot and I always write the word had. I try and avoid the easy words so I write big ones but sometimes the big ones just don't fit into the story. I feel like the thing that I struggled with the most was keeping my personal life out of my school work, When me and my boyfriend fought I didn't want to do anything which made it hard for me to focus on what I was writing about. I love the wikispace its so easy to use and I like that you can put all of the assignments up so then if we miss a class we still know what to do. I feel Ms. Doughty was a teacher and a guide, she graded us on our work but she also helped us when we needed her to I loved her help. Ms. Terrill was a co-creator of this whole thing, she helped Ms. Doughty and she helped us I like that she told us what she thought about our story and told us some things to help us. I loved my character but for my region I think I could have expanded on that a little bit more, I don't like how in the quest story I didn't get to do what I wanted because there was another person there I think that if I worked alone I could have done so much better and really make my stories come alive. I think some good ideas for next year would to be take a vote on if they want to work alone or in groups. Or you could just have every kid write their own story, yah at first they will be mad about it but in the end they will be a lot happier about it because they can do what they want and not focus on other people.
