This week we began discussing workshops and how to critique, and constructively criticize others authors' work for our portfolios. We dissected to works in class, Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. Each one was just about as far from similar to the other as can be expected. We also were too have our literary journal presentation ready for monday to present to class. I had a snag with my original choice(Rejected Quarterly) and had to choose another journal. The new selection was the Adroit Journal, which has a lot of offbeat works and I can say is a very interesting journal.
Monday we worked in groups and were given different poems to analyze, our group was given Sonnet by Shakespeare. Two of the three in our group didn't really care much for the piece, but even when the piece is cared for particularly, the work can still give element to learn from and help make students better writers.
Working with the literary journal this weekend has helped me to see perspective from multiple authors that are lumped together by an editor that uses the messages from all of the works collectively. It appeared that the editor was able to emphasize a lot of different things, but I will save those facets from my presentation.
