PoW revisions.
Editing creative writing. Most of this week was focusing on revisions. One thing we tried to make better in class was the Poem of the Week essays we wrote last week. Looking at them as a reader, making comments, and generally thinking of ways to better them. Another thing we revised this week in class were the creative writings we have been doing since the start of the year. Instead of writing, we did editing. We were to chose a piece to focus on and edit it. I chose the one syllable writing prompt I had done. Most of my edits were making small sentence changes. I did a lot of switching word choice, including a lot of synonym searches. We also began a project connecting pieces of literature such as characterization, symbolism, humor etc. Choosing 2 topics, groups read related short stories and compare how each short story used the element of literature differently, or similarly. Specifically, this week I read "A tell tale heart" as an example of symbolism. I had read this before, but so long ago that I didn't realize that I had. It was defiantly worth reading again, as it a great short story, and a great example of symbolism.
