The Never-Ending Cycle Of Improvement
I remember picking up my first pieces of literature as a child and instantly falling in love with titles such as the Harry Potter series. The interesting story, lovable characters, and everything coming together to create a wonderful journey throughout the series. Now, I continue to develop my own writing skills as my high school career slowly unfolds throughout the years. I've slowly improved my ability to interpret themes, create a thesis, structure a story, form arguments and persuasive essays, etc. For the remainder of the 2 weeks here at my stay in SSA, I hope to continue to improve those skills and formats I have acquired over the past few years. I expect the work to be difficult, and constantly press me to rethink how I structure my essays and overall work ethic in writing. But it's great to know there are other students out there with fantastic talent that also hope to improve themselves as well, and who I look forward to working with. Overall, the coming days bring great promise and possibilities, to which I excitedly look forward to.

I agree with the fact that I think this course will be challenging and push the typical work ethic that we now have. I think during these two weeks not only will the quality of writing improve for all of us, but the quality of the peer review and assessments. We will learn how to state the constructive criticism in such a way that is helpful and not vague.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great concept, yes. I believe it pushes our boundaries not only on work ethic, but also pomptness and organization. I will be taking this to my academic studies in high school and will apply it in not only literature class, but all of my classes to achieve my dream of academic success.
DeleteI love the diction you use already. It shows the major advancement of vocabulary you have. I feel as if you will not only do well in the class, but you will be very sucessful. I love Harry Potter as well. To be able to create a realistic fantasy world is not an easy job but JK Rowling did it. I look forward to see what you will put forth in class for others.
