I love reading and watching plays. Plays are very fun and interesting to me. This week we focused on The Crucible. We read and watched a lot of it. It's very interesting to me that many people are being accused of witchcraft, but they have nothing to do with it. To help our understanding of the play we did a music connections sheet. That really helped me to think of how people felt in the play. The music connections also helped me to think deeply of what lyrics really matched the most to the play. Last year I did a 10 page essay on how music affects the brain, so I know many things that happen when people listen to music. Music truly helps the brain to process more thinking. This week for creative writing I wrote about leaving. I really enjoyed that because leaving can bring back many feelings. I love doing creative writing; I can write whatever comes to mind. I can't wait for the new ideas for creative writing. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042814005710

This week seemed to go by forever, but it was very interesting. I learned a lot about witchcraft. I never knew that people would torture others to see if they are witches. I learned that many innocent people died because of the horrible tortures. I really enjoyed watching the beginning of The Crucible. I also learned a new way of doing creative writing. I had to write 100 words that are only 1-syllable words. I really enjoyed doing that because it made me think of what words to use. Sometimes I would start writing a 2-syllable word, then realizing I need to choose a different word. One word was "everyday", I decided to write one day. I think I will do more of that type of creative writing. One of the things I still need to work on is getting started on creative writing. Sometimes it takes a little time for me to think of a topic to write about. Overall, this week has been very fun with all the things I learned. I look forward to reading and watching more of The Crucible. http://www.dailywritingtips.com/creative-writing-101/ This week was very enjoying and I have learned a lot about writing. One of the major things that I learned was I need to think about my thinking. I had to write 2 paragraphs of how I think I am as a reader and a writer. I also did some creative writing. I really enjoyed that because I could write whatever I wanted to write. While writing, I was struggling about what to write. It was challenging to write about my thoughts. What helped me to continue writing was to be relaxed and write what comes to my mind. I hope to get more creative thinking. This week's ideas of writing helped me to dig deep in my mind. I really understood the ideas, and hope to get better at writing about myself. http://www.sparringmind.com/creative-thinking/ |
