My thoughts about project 2 -free response
After turning in project 2 with my new medium of a video I realized that this project was okay. The only thing that I did not like about this project is having to write another paper. I would have been more satisfied with just making a new medium. I liked making a video it was fun creating it but I lacked in filling up more than two pages in the argument paper. I struggled even with two pages and made exactly that a two page argument about how my video and my essay differed and the similarities. Next time we are assigned a project where we have to come up with a new medium I personally think that it should be all we have to do that way we can focus more on making our new medium interesting and invigorating. Overall the project was fun because it gave a insight on different things you can do with your imagination and gave us the opportunity to drift away from a normal paper. I would enjoy doing this more in the future and in other classes. So I am happy that you as a teacher Mr. Sabo came up with a good idea to keep us entertained in a English class, also knowing that English is not a very interesting subject, well to me it is not. So thank you for giving us a different way to do things in class.

ReplyDeleteThank you for approaching your free response in this way. You've done an excellent job commenting on a specific issue from the class period for today, and I want to urge you to follow this format whenever you make a free response post in the future.
As far as your actual content goes, I'm glad you enjoyed making the new medium element of this paper. I hope, however, that you can see that, as far as writing instruction goes, my main concern is not for your creativity as much as it is for your ability to convey thoughts logically and confidently. I certainly don't expect you to enjoy writing the essay element of this project more than making (in your case) a video, but I hope that, at the very least, you can understand why the one so substantially outweighs the other in terms of my focus for this project.
