ENGL-ish?

I have never been a fan of English. It just never seems to stick in my head. I really hated grammar rules and formatted forms of writing. This has changed through this semester in English 101. I have liked some of the papers and topic we have covered. I still do not get grammar rules, but perhaps that is for a different class. English 101 was not what I expected it. I just thought you wrote a paper every day. A one pager paper, and had one paper peer reviewed before you turned it in. Well to my happiness, I only have to write four papers in the whole semester. I could not be happier. I am still not sure how I feel about the blog but I will say that I find the free choice weeks easier to write about. Right now I am doing this only to get the points. I could care less about English 101 at this moment in time. But it has helped me mature as a writer and understand my process better. Obviously, English is an opinion based subject, so I still don’t understand how you grade an opinion based class….(digression). There is one thing I wish we could English, we have done a free write, a review, and researched paper. The last unit I would like to do is a poetry unit. I am creative so this would be a good outlet for me. I think it would also help others break free. Plus its fun and no one minds writing whatever they want. We could write 10 full length poems or write as many poems as we want that fit a certain total word requirement. Whatever, it would be fun and a very nice change of pace from this researched paper. Thank you!!! )


p.s. PLEASE PICK THIS AS OUR FOURHT UNIT TOPIC

  1. I won't even lie when I say that I was hoping we'd have some sort of creative project assigned as our last unit. ahh...but that's to be expected with theatre majors. : )
