Reflection Essay

FINAL EXAM REFLECTION ESSAY

Creative Writing has been one of my favorite classes I have learned so much about so many different things. I have also learned a lot about myself as a writer. This year in creative writing started out exciting and it was something new; it was a new style of writing that I was not used to writing in. I was used to writing in a type that was very informational and gave facts. So when I came into creative writing it was nothing that I had expected at all.
In creative writing I learned how to express myself in a different way. I learned to write what I wanted to write and not just what I had to write, I found out very quickly that writing did not have to be something that was awful, it could something that was very useful it is a way to express myself that was very different from the other types of writing that I am used to.
One thing that really helped me with my writing was writing in our blogs. Writing in the blogs really helped me because I was not given something to write I had to come up with my own ideas to write about, and after a while it came natural and I was able to write about what I was feeling. Whether I am sad, happy, excited, or mad I am able to express myself in a different way, rather than just keeping it all inside, I am able to write about it and express it in a different kind of way.
One writing assignment that I really liked was writing the memoir. I liked writing this because it was something different, and I had to write about myself and one of my own memories of the past, this really helped me because I was writing about myself and the more that I wrote about that single memory the more I was able to recall about what had happened.
I also really liked writing the poems. I thought that the poems were really fun to write and it was something different and new and something that I have never done in an English class before. Writing the poems really helped me use my own ideas, and come up with words and different sayings to put into the poems that I wrote. I think that writing the poems was one of my favorite things that we did this year, just because it is a different style of writing and not something that you would do every day.
Our very last project was the video project which was a really fun project to do because no only did we get to write our own scripts, but we got to film what we wrote after we finished writing our scripts. I thought that this was really cool because it was a new way to be creative and it another thing that we would not have done in a regular English class. I think that the video project was also one of my favorite projects that we did this year in Creative Writing class.
I think that overall Creative Writing class was an excellent class to take. It really helped me with my writing because it was a style of writing that I was not used to writing. I really think that creative Writing should be a class that everyone should consider taking, and I think that by taking this class it is going to help me a lot next year in college and in the future.
