1. List/Discuss several of the different pieces of writing you've done this quarter, including posts, comments, creative pieces, journals, in-class writings, and things you've written on your own.
Some writings we've completed throughout this class have been: free-writes, poems built off of lyrics, magazines and stories, a children's book and even blogs on our pasts or thoughts. My blog includes a mix of all of the listed assignments mentioned before. I wrote each entry with honesty and although some may have taken a bit long, it takes a while to think about how I can open up about myself without just laying everything out on the table. (that's my explanation towards what I've done in this class)
2. Name/Discuss a couple of pieces you've read this quarter, including other classmate's work and/or reading you've done in or out of class.
Some other pieces that I've read would include: other's blog posts and a couple of books that I wanted to read in my freetime. I enjoy seeing what other's have to say, it helps me see who they are and how they think about different things. I read a few books at home because I like the author and reading takes me away from the real world and sends me into something new.
3. Write about setting up your blog and what you ahve gotten from that experience. How did you come up with the name for your blog? Who do you think read it or who would you want to read it? Will you continue to use it on your own in the future? What kinds of things will you post?
Setting up our blog was probably the greatest start to the class. It allowed us to all just be ourselves and get to know each other through the crazy ways we think and the blog really shows our personalities I think. I came up with the name of my blog by remembering a song that EVERYONE was singing around that time. Teach me how to dougie..Yeah, the annoying blood drive song? I actually like it. Er'ybody luh me :) I'm not really sure who took the time to read my blog except for the few people who commented on my posts. I don't have anyone I really want to read it, it's nothing too special in my opinion. I don't think I'll continue using it in my future, but that's simply because I don't spend time opening up about myself or thoughts in random.
4. Write about journaling. What kinds of things are in your journal? Who would you want to read it? Will you continue to journal? What will you write about?
Journaling has never been my most favorite thing. The kinds of things that are in my journal include the random assignments we were given; nothing more. Like I said earlier, I don't have anyone who I feel like should read my things, including my journal, unless they want to pass the time. I won't continue to journal; I dislike hand writing things because I find that it takes too long and it brings back too much.
5. Type an entry directly from your journal that you consider notable. It could be a paragraph or a page or so.
Close my eyes and pound my fists
On the walls and on my chest
Break the code and tear the lists
The lists of things that allow no rest
6. Type a passage or section directly from one of your pieces of writing that you consider notable or your favorite that you've written. It could be a section or a page or so.
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Dreams of liars
It's me, I'm a freak
Sleep with one eye open
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself why?
Will it ever get better than tonight?
The hourglass on the table
I wouldn't even try
enter night
There you are sitting in the garden
told ya from the start
But I think you could save my life
7. What creative writing do you plan to do in the future, if any? What do you get out of writing creatively? How does this differ from the other writing you do, in school and in life?
I plan to continue writing poems. I get the feeling of letting things out and just being myself. This differs from the other writing I do by actually having meaning behind it. School limits what can be said and is usually required.
8. Any final words of encouragement, appreciation, inspiration, etc. for your fellow writers you've worked with this quarter?
I LOVE YOU ALL :) This class has been my favorite class in the three years I've been in high school. I've never felt so comfortable with other people and everyone gets along just like a family..I freaking love it. I'll miss you all and good luck with everything put towards you in your
future.
9. Feel free to post any other writing you'd like to at this time.
Hi, Mrs. Fraser. What's up? Mkay, just wanted to let you know some things... You're an amazing teacher! I loved your class, the way you handle things, set things out and connect with us. You actually seem to understand us and I think that's really sweet. Er'ybody luh you :)

Awww, Kurtney. How sweet of you to say so. I hope you will keep blogging, even if you don't reveal all your deepest secrets. You have a lot of other creative things to say. I also hope you always feel comfortable enough to be yourself. Completely yourself. Take care and be good.
