Writing

When I was in middle school I loved to write poetry and stories. When I got to high school I had the privilege of being in a creative writing class where we published a book with all of the writings from each student in the class. At first I didn’t really like the idea of having a blog it was just one more thing to add to my agenda of things to do throughout the week. I did feel as if it was a chore but my idea of it has changed because I feel that it is helping me to strengthen my writing skills and expand on topics we have talked about in class. It is also a great resource to have for the classroom if student’s parents wanted to interact with you through a different source of communication. I feel that my idea of writing has changed because at first I was wondered about how I was going to teach students to write when I am not the best writer in the world. Also I feel that this class had broken down the steps in a way that I can remember and has given me the opportunity to see different examples of how to teach language arts through observations.

As far as the book I didn’t have any idea what I was going to write about. Then I decided to write about something that is dear to me and that is friendship. My story will cover adjusting to parenthood and how life can change in the blink of an eye. It was also cover how friendship can change over a course of time because you both are growing up into adults.
