Writing Review Week

          I have enjoyed doing the storytelling assignments for this class. It is interesting creating original adaptions on famous stories that we have read within our units. I have noticed that my writing has improved since Week 1. I feel as if my later stories are better than my first few. I also find it much easier to think of ideas and adapt a story as time progresses for this course. I guess my goal for the second half of this course is to keep improving my work.

          The feedback from both you and fellow students are extremely helpful. The best way to improve in skills like writing is constructive criticism from an outside perspective. I enjoy reading other student's stories because everyone has their own unique writing style. It is interesting to see other students choose a story and form their own creative adaption. This class has helped me with novel style dialogue (with quotations and ect). I am not used to writing in this style and like that I am learning how to do it.

          This class has been useful to me, especially when it comes to improving my writing. For one of my senior projects I have to write a feature screenplay. The story is about two boys that are lost in the forest after camping. I actually included a brief paraphrased version of the storytelling post I wrote for Week 7 about the wolves in the screenplay. It was cool how the projects ended up overlapping.


I have no clue why I chose this image. I didn't know what else to put haha.

  1. I also think the writing assignments have really helped me improve my writing skills. I am not always the most creative person, so the storytelling assignments have helped me with that. I have actually come to enjoy writing my own versions of these stories. It has also been really interesting reading all of the stories written by others in the class.
