Original PoemFor the original poem we wrote different kinds of poetry, those being Haiku, Carpe Diem Poetry, Elegy Poetry and Free Verse Poetry. We wrote all different kinds so we could get a feel of what it is to write with these specific poetry. We got to choose which one I liked best and work more on, m more of a free verse person s0 I took more time on it. I love reading poems that mess with your feelings and make you feel pity for the person behind it so I went for more of a deep vibe.We did 3 drafts and I was satisfied with my poem so I kept it the way it was.
Reflection I wish the I would've made the poem more longer to express the pain of this made up person in my head. So that the reader could feel as if they were that person or they knew this person, but with more critique over time the better my writing gets. Strengths I feel as if this was a poem I could really just write about whatever so I had more of a freedom to show my poetic style that I enjoyed at the time and I feel like having the freedom allowed me to have my strengths on my paper. |

1st Biographical Article For The BookWhat we had to do in order to even start our biographical article was interviewing our artists once we did each individual person had to choose a different topic to write about our artist, which in this case was Stacy Riley. My topic was a specific art piece that Stacy had made. I had many drafts of my article because I was using first and third person and had a difficult time explaining in detail the piece. I got several critique from my peers and it helped a lot. I worked on it till it became enough to satisfy me and on my POL I got a few comments about how they loved the style that I wrote in which made me very proud if my work.
Reflection Im so proud of my biographical article because this one time I feel like I did my absolute best and this article shows my improvement through out my years. Strengths A strength that I had was after I got critique from Ms.Britt it started being a lot more easier to describe what the artifact looked like I started viewing it as if I was viewing it from 100 different perspective and that really helped me. |

2nd Biographical Article For BookFor our 2nd biographical Article we had to choose another totally different topic about our artist and it was more based on the the house for Stacy or blueprints etc. My topic was based on what Stacy's needs where for her house and what she thought would influence her art. As usual we went through multiple drafts till we felt it was to perfection. In order to do that we spent 3 whole days 2 hours each day reading our 2 articles to whole class which really helped because I got 27 people to give me feedback on my article
Reflection I feel as if my article wasn't at its best and it could've been but I just didn't take enough time to review over it, but I definitely could've done a whole lot better. Strengths One of my strengths through my process with this biographical article was really putting out and giving a clear idea of what Stacy wanted in her home because I really wanted to make the reader visualize the house. |
5 VignettesReflecting is a big part of what we do so we looked over our small vignettes we wrote for The House On Mango Street. Earlier when we were barely starting to read THOMS Ms.Britt gave us a packet to fill out with questions related to the book like "Describe your house." so later after we got to the second half of the book we looked over the first half of our writing assignments we got to choose 5 vignettes that we would like to go over more and add on to so I chose "Describe your house" " What name would you like if you could change it?" "Describe different types of laughter" "Is there a time where you wanted something bad?" and "Do you know a family who doesn't know how to control their children?"
Reflection Im really glad with the ones I choose because I could add a little humor to all of them to loosen up the reader. The one I like the most is one that I named "Clueless" its about a family that is out of control but I really liked how I used figurine language to explain the kids. Strengths A strength that I had for this particular activity was the freedom to choose 5 of the topics I wanted so I really made them better which showed me my growth and developed of grammar. |

Original Shakespearean SonnetFor this activity we had to write sonnet which is "A poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line." according to google. At first we choose a topic and we just wrote about it and I instantly thought of the one thing I truly love the most... Wings-N-Things. I wrote a first draft and made some people laugh because I turned the boneless chicken Strips into a somewhat person. I got critique and made a second draft which was enough for my satisfaction and it made me laugh too.
Reflection I really like my poem because it shows my love for Wings-N-Things but it also shows my humor in it and its always good to put a little of our personality in our work. Strengths One of my strengths was being out going with it and serious in a way that I can still put some humor in it. I felt as if it made sense because sonnets are very challenging since they have to have specific rhymes and syllables. |
