Anna Scott: A Writer
Reflections of 6th Grader
I'm a Writer Who
I was not as comfortable in my writing last year but by practicing over the summer got better and more confident. I love to share my writing so I can get feedback to make it better. I have trouble brainstorming what to write about so sometimes it takes me a while to get going. Writing is not my favorite subject, but sometimes it can be fun once I get going.
Inspiration
I normally get inspiration from things that happen to me. I sometimes like to add more to thing that happen to me and make them fiction. Fiction is sometimes fun because you can make up something and add on to it as you go.
Genre
I enjoy non-fiction and acting like I'm talking to someone. I don't like fiction because it is hard for me to think something up and put it on paper.
Process
In drafting I like to just put everything I think of on paper. I sometimes go overboard on drafting because I am writing to much. Editing, I like to to do two or more times just to make sure my grammar is correct. In revising I tend to have a lot to take because in drafting I just put everything I'm thinking down on paper.
A Memorable Experience
Last year in 5th grade we had to write a piece called A Slice of Life. Every time I brought my piece to my teacher I had to do it all over again. The whole process felt like it took 100 years. After that experience I didn't like writing because I thought it took to long. It seemed like everything I wrote had a lot of things that were wrong with it.
Sixth Grade Writing Goals
- I would like to have a better flow with my writing.
- I would like to understand the information in the grammar lessons better.
- I want to write a fiction story in writing this year.
