These past two weeks have been a fantastic learning experience, i learned about ‘Wevideo’ and how to edit videos. I never really edited videos before so my experience in that field is not so good. I also learned many things about creative writing and the power of story by telling my own story. We are also starting a project to where we edit our own video and tell our own stories that lead to our beliefs, even if it’s personal you have to try to be as detail as you can be but also be comfortable with what you're saying. I learned that you have your own voice and it can make a big impact on anyone, just one story can save someone’s life or even save them from being in a situation. I enjoy this class, it has new learning experiences everyday, even with the poems our teacher reads in the beginning of the day to the actual lesson. This class is helpful because its growing my mind and having me think of things that i have never thought of before. I am also writing more on my own and reading more than i used to because it give me peace when i zone out while reading or writing.
This week we learned more about the power of story and how it can affect others who are listening to the story. Everyone's story matters and putting it in your own story can help others listening connect to the story. Also in this week we learned about writing and how creative writing is deeper than the surface. I also learned personally that if you just "let go" as you’re writing you will get the rawest feelings instead of trying to focus on editing. Our class this week did a free writing, this is how I experienced firsthand, you just zone in on what you are writing and you forget about everything else around you. I have changed my thought about writing because of this class and the way the teacher is different from others, if you truly think about writing it’s another form of telling your own story. The fact that writing is another form of storytelling interest me a lot because I’ve always enjoyed telling friends, family, and others my personal life stories. Diving deeper into what storytelling and writing actually is has increased my perspectives on writing, as I have always thought that it was boring. Writing more helped me to understand that it is not boring, but instead allows me an outlet to talk about my personal experiences. These are just the few of the reasons why I enjoy reading and writing more and why this class has helped me become a better story teller and reader overall. |
