This is an introduction to my last required blog post for my English Comp 1 class with Professor. Mangini. For this blog post I was asked to compose a reflection about my experience in this class. I was given the option to do a top 10 list of commodities I experienced in the class and not just talking about grades, but rather specific assignments. I was also asked to do the assignment in third person which I am now great at due to the multiple blog posts in the past scene categories.
Top 10 List
Number nine on the list is most important and meant the most to me. I made it to every english class and for me that’s a personal goal I achieved. In high school you could miss ten days of class and get five latenesses per quarter without any consequences. I used every lateness and absence I could because I didn’t like waking up early and going to sit in a school for eight hours. In this case however, I am only at DCCC tuesdays and thursdays so I wanted to get myself to make every class since I’m only here two days out of five. I did awesome for the most part. I only missed three eight a.m classes and made the rest of my classes and I’m very proud of that.

The focus of this blog post was for me to record myself (vlogging) talking about my English Comp 1 course and not just talking about the course but to talk about specific assignments and texts and how they reflected upon me and my writing. I can definitely say this assignment was crucial to my self reflecting.
This is an introduction to my Found Poem. A found poem is using words from a text to make a poem. I used What is a Found Poem? | Sample Found Poem | Visual Examples of Found Poems to make my found poem. It is now fall and I found it convenient to make my poem about fall.
The Leaves Leaves in the day, I was too excited. “Come on Jim.” the leaves yelled like a rowdy obnoxious generation z crowd. “Alright.” I said as I drank my water bottle. I walked over the leaves, “Aye we’re here” the leaves yelled like hooligans. The leaves were on the ground, on the gate, and on the brick wall. I was disappointed and went into a deep sadness for walking over the leaves. Embarrassed of this, I went home to rest. “Well your home early.” my mother said surprised. “Yeah” I said with total awkwardness. I went to my room to get away from reality for a while. My poem is Free-form excerpting and remixing: Poets excerpt words and phrases from their source text(s) and rearrange them in any manner they choose Do you think the narrative provides enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem? I think my narrative does provide enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem. That being said, I could put a bit more in my narrative. If not, how do you plan to revise the descriptive language in the narrative? By replacing commonly used descriptive words for more complex ones. Do you think the descriptive language more so creates a setting or delivers the subtext of a theme? I feel in my narrative descriptive language serves as creating a setting. Ex: smelly, crusty bus. In revision, will you focus on using description to develop more of the setting or more of a theme? I will focus on using description to create a setting and try to also incorporate a theme. |
