April 7 Journals

Welcome to writing lab. This class is going to be work, but it is also going to be the best class you have had all year.
Today I am going to go over class expectations with you as well as how to log into two of our applications.
First I am going to walk you through how to make a posting and then how to log into Study Island. I expect for you to take notes.
  1. Throughout your educational career you've had to write for all of your classes. What do you think you do well on as a writer and what do you think you need to improve on this quarter?
  2. Would you rather be a bird or an insect? Explain.

As a write i think what i do well is give detail to things like storys or essays. What I would have to work on are like when to use commas or just my spelling.

I would rather be a bird becsuse bugs are disgusting. i would want to be a bird to fly because not all insects fly.

One thing I need to work on as a writer is to go back and make revisions. I really dislike making revisions. One thing that I am good at is describing scenes. I love to add details. It is like putting a spice into the cake mix- it makes it better.

I would rather be a bird because they can fly.

As a writer I do better on making compound sentences and linking words together.

If i had a choice to be a bird or sn insect I would make the choice of being a bird, because I would be able to fly where ever I was destine to.

If I had to pick between being a bird and an insect I would be a bird. Birds are faster then insects and they have longer life spans. I also like it would be fun it be able to fly so either one is good but in my oppion it would be better to be a bird.

I would rather be a bird because insects are much smaller and are eaten by birds. Birds can fly higher and faster than insects and are not killed by humans unless they are being hunted.

I love writing. However, I do not like to go back in and make corrections. I know this is horrible to say, but it is true. Nonetheless, one thing I do well in as a writer is describing. I love to use sensory details and to pepper my writing with tiny snapshots. I hope to get better as a writer this quarter.

I do well on parsausive writing. I actually love writing and not just saying that. I need to improve in narrative writing. I never seem to get what to do. But I love to write essays and do other things. I rather type on a computer than write it out by hand.
