Week #1

This first week of English class has been really fun! So far I've noticed that I'm not THAT bad of a writer. It is really fun and easy for me to write stories that have happened in my life. During this class I would like to work on being able to use more adjectives and muscle verbs in order to make my writing more descriptive, because descriptive writing is more fun! The exercise I found to be the most useful was when we shared our ideas for our snapshot narrative with a partner and had them write down notes in our notebook. Talking about my ideas made it make a lot more sense in my mind. To make a class experience that allows us to work to our maximum potential I think we need to be collaborative and talk to each other a lot and have discussions often. The book I wanted to start reading this week is "The Fellowship of the Ring" which is the first book in the Lord of the Rings series. At first I couldn't go to the library to get it so I read "Fight Club" for a day, and then when I went to the library to get it I accidentally got the 2nd book, not the first, so I have yet to actually start reading it. I'm going to start reading it this weekend though!
