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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  35. 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.
