Gothic Horror Reflection
This class was planned and taught really well and made me enjoy writing stories, poems, character sketches, and even learning how to do write all of them. I found that when we went into detail about certain types of writings I got better ideas on what to write. When we read short stories before we wrote our own stories, I found it easier to write, making if fun because it took away some of the frustration.
When learning about poetry we were taught about all types of poems from rhyming to free verse, even some I have never heard before. We were given a sheet explaining all the poems we were going to do and the beginning of the year and was told to try doing them ourselves before we got to them. I was encouraged to try my hand at poetry and found something out. I really am bad at it, but I don’t care it was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.
My favorite type of writing we learned was the short stories because we learned how to design character and places in our stories to make them more believable and interesting. Once again my class was given a sheet that explain all the things needed to have in a character sketch to make them seen more lifelike instead of a perfect person with no personality in our stories. These things we learned in this time helped me think of more interesting ideas for stories, and helped me look at other working with more of an appreciating eye. I can understand and enjoy books more because I understand how much time and effort people put into stories.
This class was awesome and fun. I hope I can continue to write and learn to make my writings more interesting and fun, like I did in this class.
