Impressed and intrested

Well this week we are (or maybe just i am) focused on our literacy narrative essays and learning the basics of them and getting ideas of how we are goin to approach this first assignment though viewing past students'  work on the assignment. My favorite model example was the Accelerating reading visual project because not only did i get what he was explaining but it had me interested the whole entire time because it was humorous.The Student througout his project presented a smooth flow of him developing into a better student.Also the way he set the tone was amazing with the use of dark and light colors and also music that makes the reader feel whatever the lyrics are saying or how up tempo the beat is.For example if you listen to the song Devour by Shinedown  you will feel anger or get motvation/determination and i agree with all his music choices within his visual literacy because i wasnt lost for a moment.

Failing once

I have decided my narrative is going to focus on an important part of my life. A time that life was changing physically mentally and educationally. It takes place in my 8th grade school year mainly the spring semester  in English class and even though i failed that class i may have learned the most than i have in any other classroom. My Teacher Mrs Andrews was my worst enemy but also my bestfriend we were "the best enemies".
