Most of our time this week was divided between revising and perfecting our creative writing and working on our elements of literature project. At first, I was really reluctant about revising and sharing my creative writing. This is partly because I was hesitant to share my writing because I felt like all of it was really personal. But, I chose a couple of pieces, I edited them, and I took out certain parts. Afterwards, I felt much less uneasy about sharing them. Part of me even felt good for releasing my personal thoughts to other eyes, because I feel like they are no longer attached to me. In a way, I feel liberated from my past thoughts.
A few times this past marking period I felt like I did not know what to write about for my creative writing, because sometime the given prompt does not inspire me. So, for the next marking period I found this cool link with a lot of interesting prompts. [thinkwritten.com/365-creative-writing-prompts/] I doubt that I will feel like I have nothing to write about in the future creative writing blocks because this website has so many different ideas to get my thoughts flowing.
While working on our projects this week, Sela and I read "The Most Dangerous Game." We were definitely much more productive when we went out in the hallway. Hopefully, we will continue to do that. Next week, we plan to analyze "The Most Dangerous Game" by answering the big question and finding supporting evidence in the text. This will probably not take that long because we annotated as we read it the first time, and we already have some ideas. Then, we need to read about our second element of fiction. After that we have to read and analyze our other two short stories. Presumably this will not take as long as reading "The Most Dangerous Game" did, because "The Most Dangerous Game" is longer than both of our other short stories. My goal is to be done with all the reading and analyzing this week and work on putting together our thoughts into the presentation by next week.
