I always thought English class was fun in high school. We always read books and got to act out plays. in collage and in high school we keep a journal. The journal we wrote in high school just had every day writing in it. In English 101 we get to keep two journals, how exciting! Just playing.I like the one journal, the free writing one,but i don't like the other one at all. That's one of the things about my English class I hate.
One of the things i do love in English is free writing. It never accord to me how freeing it is to write. I love to get lost in writing. I don't like to write essays and have to put all the work in to essays like we do in class. I really hope this class disengages me in writing. I would probably not mind the work if I had more time myself. I have a very busy schedule so, when I want to write an essay it has to be done for homework in a matter a days. This just means i put out poor quality essays. I also had the expectations that we were going to do a lot more reading then maybe a little writing about what we had read but it is nothing like that.
All and all its defiantly a lot harder then i was expecting. So to everyone out there you will get through this class just as i am. its not the teacher, hes great but its the work in putting out a good essay.

i had the same thoughts, i like to read and i hope that we take a break with the essays, because they frustrate me and read some good stories.
ReplyDeleteI too was expecting this class to be set up a little differently but I have found that the way it is, forces me to practice my writing in a positive manner. I have learned a lot so far and am looking forward to getting the most I can out of this class.
