Thursday, October 22 – Today in Creative Writing we read another students work. It was a short story this student had written with a friend a few years ago and before they began editing it they wanted our group to criticize it so that they would know what to look for. We each read through the story silently and made some notes about what we though could be improved. Then we went around and shared our thoughts with the rest of the group. I said that I really enjoyed the story itself and that I thought it was a unique and interesting idea but that I felt some of the grammar the student ad used in the story needed some serious revision and that it really takes away from a story when you cannot get past bad grammar, and it interrupts the flow of the piece. Giving advice about this other student’s grammar caused me to realize a few ways in which I could improve my own grammar in my own writing and I was eager to look at my different works and apply this advice.
Thursday, October 29 – I was unable to attend Creative Writing today because I needed the time to work on my Extended Essay.
