I really like English class because we read a lot of different and interesting book. Mr. Sutherland is very nice and sometimes he let us chose whatever book we want to read. After we are done reading he let us watch the movie and i really like that because i really get to see what i was reading and compare it to my imagination.
One of the book we read and i enjoyed the movie was . The Kite Runner he book is a very sad and touching book.When watching the movie it got so emotional to me to find out that when they use little boy as dancers was really true.
Another book that i enjoyed reading in Sutherland class was The house on Mango street. Reading that book was very funny because each vignettes had a theme that i like. Also i like the fact that after we read the book we had a chance to write our own vignettes. I had so many things in my head to write about that the project was not only easy and smooth but it was really fun.
Even though I'm not a lawyer and I'm the kind of person whose not interested in any law things but in Sutherland change a lot of that. In Sutherland class we debated about so many interesting subject. He show us how to be strong in our rebuttal and opening statement. Right now i will call my self a very strong debater then i was when i was in middle school.
Well those are just some of the stuff i enjoyed this year in Sutherland class. Sutherland is one of the coolest teacher i had and his class was the same. Even though i was hoping we did some romeo and Juliet play and we didn't i still enjoyed his class.
Explain one or two ways audience feedback helped me grow over the semester. This doesn't have to be stuff Sutherland said; If people wrote response posts about my writing, what did I learn from their reactions?
Well audience feed back i will say has really helped me. People that have read my blog tell me what I'm doing good and what i need to change. First of they help me change my grammar and give me ideas of what they think i should add into my blog that will make it better. Another thing they do that i like is no matter what my blog is about, when ever one of my friends leave a comment they will always put something positive even they have a negative. I like that because even though the negative comment i see bring me down but the positive always encourage me to change it.
One other time that the audience feedback really helped me was when i was doing my vignettes. Some of them told me that they like my rhythm i have in one of them and how the other one was very detailing. With those positive feedback i keep in my head that i should put more detail on my other vignettes.
How is the open-ended writing I do on my blog different from the more structured academic assignments I write?
My open writing is different because i don't write about serious things. Sometime i go online and find some funny blond joke and post it up. Sometime i just get a quote that i find interesting and i just write why i find it interesting and post it up. I really enjoyed free posting because then i can do whatever i want and don't have to sit on the computer and try to put some concrete detail because it is an assignment.
What have I learned from my struggles with writer's block? Why do I tend to get stuck? How do I tend to get unstuck? Notice any patterns?
Well i notice that every time we have a quick write i don't have a lot to say that will take up the ten minuet that was given to us. When I'm stuck i don't sit there and look in the sky i just write why I'm stuck and how i don't have none-thing to say. Sometime i draw a picture that relates to the topic the class is on. Getting stuck is one of the big problem i have in the quick writes it seems like i that ten minuet is such a long time. It will be better if it was reduce down to five minuets. That will give us the chance to write what we have and also draw a picture with the little remaining time we have.
Where do I get my ideas for blog post topics? What inspires me to write?
Most of my ideas that i put on blogger is assign by the teacher for homework. But if it is not assign then it is a free post. Most of my free post like i said before are ideas i get of the Internet if not of the Internet it will be ether a poem i had in my mind.
Explain one or two ways my writing has improved (or not). Include a few examples from my posts over time, with analysis and links to the original posts, to illustrate how the improvement(s) happened.
My writing i will say has improved a lot. When i first went to English class it was very hard for me to write a thousand words but now that a difference. I had a lot of grammar problem in most of my writing but with the audience feed back and comment i have slow down with too much grammar problem. Also all the activities that we have done in English class also made writing easy. For example the debate we did make me think a lot so every time i am writing an essay or any assignment i do it like i am debating against someone to list my point and argument against their points.
