With the final class of the semester hours away, it's times to reflect on the past several months. I have really enjoyed this class. Once I was able to break out of my nervous bubble, I was able to really find some creativity that I didn't think I had. Not only was this experience beneficial for getting used to public speaking, but I have also learned several cool methods of revision that I will be able to use in a wide-range of subjects for years-to-come.
The end of the semester projects have been fun. I really liked the way that circle's group journal, [fourteen]2, turned out. The cover we chose was neat, and Heather did a cool job of incorporating creativity throughout the various authors' poems. My role in the group, aside from the various formative details we decided as a group, was to edit. I enjoyed reading Charity Stowe's Poems and thought she did a good job of responding and editing her piece to the suggestions of an editor.
To conclude on what will be my last blog in this class, I have really enjoyed the material and have found several methods associated to the creative and revision processes helpful. I feel that the teacher's approach to use mimicking poetry in order to spark our own original creativity very helpful. I play the guitar and have always used sample riffs from various artists to come up with my own songs. In that same sense, we have learned our own poetry/short-story aesthetics through interpret and copying famous poets structure.
