I hope everyone had a great semester and did well on all finals! Have a great winter break. Just wanted to say I’m not an active twitter user so follow me on instagram @ sami_hirsch #writ318mu

@M_Crutcher_GD @aleia_baker I agree! A lot of great things can be taken away from this course, so long as you focus the topics towards what you want! #writ318mu

@slwilli3 @molovesphoebe I really like how this course pushed us to figure out what works best for us. Dr. P gave us a lot of broad topics that we had to narrow down to fit to our needs and interests. #writ318mu

@sarastump02 I love teachers who have social media platforms! It’s a great way to stay connected with parents, and share events that are going on. I feel like this course will come in handy with that! #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

Something I like about my writing process is when I right out an entire essay in one go, just to focus on what I want to say. I of course go back in and revise it, but it always feels good to get all of my ideas right out on paper so I don’t forget. #writ318mu

The thing that I like most about my learning is how much I learned just from this course. It really expanded my knowledge and taught me a lot about writing and creative process. #writ318mu

@molovesphoebe These bring back such a strong memory of getting them at the snack stand after softball practice 😂 Definitely a childhood favorite. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

@ksmclaug I’m also going to use Dr. P’s feedback! I love that we can submit a draft before the final so that we can get a good idea from her directly how we’re doing!! #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

@saraa_vol6 Besides grammarly or sending it to others, I always find that reading my essay out loud helps a lot with sentence structure and grammatical errors! #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

I noticed in my essay that my ideas don’t flow together. What are some basic/classic ways of connecting ideas so that my essay doesn’t feel so choppy? #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

The thing that I like most about my essay is that it really shows how I developed my creativity and ideas throughout this course. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

Does anyone else feel like they ramble on in paragraphs? I feel like I write too much and my points are missed because of added information. I definitely need to work on just including things that enhance my essay. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

In order to strengthen my essay, I want to break down the topics I talked about and focus on my word choice. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

@Valentinaz187 I love the way you wrote this. It really encapsulates the creativity aspect of writing. I believe that writing is one of the most important forms of creative expression. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

@DennisLienMU I feel this way too. Since this essay was personalized, I felt that it was very easy to connect to and write. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

I believe that learning is taking in information. Learning is broad and complex, covering a wide variety of interests and topics. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

My writing process is writing down my initial thoughts from the rubric, making them into topics, elaborating on my ideas, and then going back to make sure I hit all of the points on the rubric. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

@recipes_4math I really agree with what you said. I definitely become more motivated and interested when I know the work has future benefits. Busy work is the worst, and I know I’m not putting my true potential in it. #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

@saraa_vol6 Group collaboration is definitely important for success. It’s a great example! I also think that a lot of collaboration happens in this class, especially since we’re all tweeting! 🐥 #writ318mu

[Samantha Hirsch @samitaylor248]

I personally communicate creativity by showing my interests and passions through my work. I like to include and build on the knowledge I have because then it becomes more unique and special to me. #writ318mu
