Creative class

idea what I was doing, who I wanted to be, or what the next four years would be like, and a tentatively declared English major. I didn’t know where I was headed, I didn’t really even know what I wanted, but I did know that I liked books and English class in my past years of school. I actually almost went to Western to major in business, but that’s a story for another time. When I’d met with the academic advisors during…

love being in Ms. Favela's class because I get to learn new things and at the same time, I'm also more creative, more sociable with others. Other than Spanish class, I'm surprisingly pretty good in chemistry, and the funny thing is I never thought that I could do well in chemistry. Still, I hate history and math. We can't leave out the memorable part of the classes, which contains all of my embarrassed moments. Like I said, I hate when I have to stand up in front of the class and do the…

1. My hypothetical class is a creative writing class for high school seniors (17-18 years old) and there are fourteen students in the class. The class has a good grasp on writing poetry, minimal experience writing non-fiction and fiction stories with and without dialogue, and are extremely comfortable sharing their pieces with me (the teacher) and their classmates. They do not however, have experience with merging fiction and non-fiction, so that is a major accomplishment goal with this piece.…

I love creative writing and I have written many fictional stories in my short nineteen years of life, and finding the motivation to push through and write was challenging for me this semester due to the fact that I am more of a creative writer was difficult. Once I got to college and realized that GSW was not a place really the place to show off how creative you can be, I had to relearn the academic writing process. This was one of…

The one area over the years which I have the most problems in my English class is creative writing. For instance, our writing assignment for the Christmas holiday in the fourth grade was to create a famous person from an inanimate object and to give him a backstory. As I sat in my room pondering, I saw a sock. I immediately had an inspiration to create Socky Balboa, a famous boxer who was made of a sock. I based my story on the story of Rocky Balboa. After much hard work I was certain that I had…

the Blue coded (100%). What shocked me was my Reading, Writing and Recall scores which fell way below my personal expectations at 79% (88% in Apprehension, 80% in Grammar, Usage and Syntax and 60% in Structure). As a student planning to minor in Creative Writing I cringed when I saw these terrible results in what I believed were my strengths not weaknesses! I immediately began to search the SNHU Resources in MySNHU for tutoring and online writing resources that would help me strengthen these…

bounds from an innocent and inexperienced adolescent in grade six, to a mature, well-equipped writer in grade eleven. Therefore, from this upper level English class, I have learned a different caliber of writing and writing techniques. I have learned how to better prepare for different types of essays. The writings required for this class have varied from informative to persuasive essays. From personal experience, my strength lies in persuasive essays. For example, we were to write a paper…

minute decision. I figured, because I always wrote on my free time, It would be good to use writing as a way to improve my skills. The previous creative writing classes that I enrolled in weren’t challenging because I was required to write short stories and this appeared easier for me. My writing anxiety didn’t escalate until I took this class, a poetry class. Immediately, I saw myself back in Middle School, surrounded by students who were so talented at writing that I felt like the outlier. In…

When i first entered this course i expected it to be as hard as a college class. What i did find out was that it was much more streamlined and functioned as a class on how to manage your time and deal with big projects. I was really efficient in writing and being creative in my papers but not so much when it came to research papers. We mostly wrote research papers in this class so instead of using my strength in creativity i mostly had to do research and be genuinely interested in the topic i…

rather than telling them. But, I do have issues with how I use my tenses while I write. Before this class, I would find myself writing in the third person and I wanted to try out first person and really get into the character’s shoes. But, what I have learned is that writing in present tense in first person is much more difficult than I thought it was going to be. With some help and patience from the class, instructor and family I have a better grasp on the issue. But, it is something that I…
