I wasn't really sure what to expect in this class besides that we'll probably be doing a lot of writing assignments. But my first week I did very little writing. More work-shopping actually. On the second day of class we each brought a composition book to decorate with stuff that reflects who we are. I brought in stickers and pictures that interests me. My daybook cover expresses my interests. I love the color pink, style and music! I think decorating my cover is a smart and unique idea because it has all my interests on it which will contribute to helping have a good class.
I also enjoyed getting to decorate my daybook. I spent a lot of time designing my daybook and deciding what I wanted it to look like. I did end up taking a lot of time to print out pictures and put construction paper scraps together to make it, but in the end I thought it was definitely worth it. I thought we did a lot of work-shopping too, but I also think there will be a ton of writing and/or daily writing to do in this class as well.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you about decorating the daybook. Having it decorated to show who we really are helps to express ourselves and in a class where it is already "abstract" this might be something useful. I also like how the class has a lot of independent thinking to it instead of strait busy work.
ReplyDeleteI loved personalizing our daybooks also, so that way Lacy and the rest of the class can catch a glimpse of who we are. I think we will be able to express our thoughts and opinions a lot through out this course, which I think is great because normally in school we are told what to write about and what is expected of us which leaves no room for our own voice.
