We finally made it through this chapter, where we diverged from the book and had to write 8 versions of basically the same composition. I still have to write the last one.
The compositions was about our personal history, we would write it, then tell it to someone, then they would write about what they heard, then we had to discuss it. Then we had to re-write it, then write our impressions upon reading it. Then we had to rewrite it again, inserting our impressions, and adding new things. I had papers flying in all directions, and no one knew what they had turned in or not.
Also, this semester, the teachers are not correcting small grammar mistakes, they tell us. Which is kind of a drag, cause I'd prefer to know if I am making them or not. When I reread my own writing, I hear some things that don't sound right, but were not marked wrong. A little perplexing.
I don't know, maybe I'm just being negative. It's not so bad now that it's almost over, but I am not sure how effective it was. But, I will trust the teachers.
Or try to.
