Project DescriptionIn this project, we published an anthology of nonfiction student writing. We had to write a piece about something we are passionate about using one of the following 6 writing styles: express and reflect, inform and explain, evaluate and judge, inquire and explore, analyze and interpret, or take a stand/ propose a solution. The point of this project is for students to create the best piece of writing they have ever produced. I chose the subject express and reflect and wrote about the experience of traveling to the Del Mar Fair with my best friends to go see social media stars.
This project uses the Real-world writing purposes Field Guide. We chose a random topic, molded it to the writing styles, then wrote about each one for 5 minutes. This is what helped us get an idea and choose what to contribute to the book. |

Reflection |
Going into this project, I had no idea what to write. There were an infinite amount of options, and I couldn't choose. So I basically just thought of what I am best at writing, which is stories and personal experiences. I thought about one experience that happened recently, but also one that I would love to recall and keep forever. Throughout every draft, I kept adding more and more detail until I felt the story would become its own book. The first draft I wrote was just thoughts put into words that only made sense to me. With a LOT of refinement, It's now at six pages and hopefully makes sense to anybody reading it. I love my piece so much that I wouldn't change anything about it.
