All students in ENGL 111- This post is for you!
Warming Up:Journal Exercises # 1

Many writers keep some kind of notebook in which they write down their thoughts for later use. some writers call it a journal, a place for their day-to-day thoughts. other writers call it a day book, a place to record ideas, collected information, possible outlines, titles, questions,-anything related to the process of writing, thinking , and learning.

Describe your own writing rituals. When, where, and how do you write best.

  1. I write best when the atmosphere is cool and not too conjested. Whenever i am in my bed room or in the class room i write best because it helps me to coencentrate better. Furthermore, i write best when there is peace and quiet around me, also when we have enough time in which to finish our work.

    Yours sincerely,

  2. I would say that i write best at night because then i can think clearly and come up with great and interesting ideas to incorporate in my essays. As well, i write best in a cool and peaceful environment such as my room or by the sea side. Moreover, i write best when i am alone, and in a calm and serene atmosphere where there is no disturbances or distractions.

  4. I would say that I write best whenever I'm alone in my room since it is where I am able to think more clearly and come up with interesting concepts. Also, i write best in a peaceful environment without any interruptions and noises and it is where my imagination comes to life.

  5. Well as to say that when writing something as a essay or passage, I love to be alone.I think staying by myself and realizing what im doing and what im writing makes me fully understands myself and dont get any distractance from anyone.Where would be the best place for me? That would be in my room. My room holds me down into a place where it leaves me thinking and coming up with new ideas that can make me put more letters in a word and words on a paper!

    I write best in the night when I am by myself. I usually write when I am in my room, because it is very quite and I could concentrate and meditate quietly to get to the points I want to pass across to my readers. I write effectively without a lot of disturbances, so I find it easier to write in the confides of my room where I can use my imagination and necessary facilities.

  9. I would say the time that I write best is when I'm alone in the night, lay down on the bed, listening to soft music. Listening to music will lead me to start think a lot, the past, and the future. Places besides my bed that I can write best would be coffee shop and sea side. To write better, its better if the environment is silent, but sometimes noise can bring up the "feel" .

  10. I find it easy to write in cool and quiet places, which is why I write in my room where no one bothers me and it is where I am most comfortable. I write best when I am by myself, because I have more time to really think and use my imagination to bring across points clearly.

  11. Well i dont really need a specific environment for writting. I'm able to express my tought whenever and wherever. Yes I agree dat a quiet and soothing environment can help the situation, but sometimes when I'm in a quiet environment i tend to want to go sleep and forget about the writting.

  12. Well I write best when I have full concentration so,my room is the perfect spot.Being in a quiet area thats when my mind is free to roam and imagine the work. Moreover, I write best when my mind is clear and thats how my cretivity pops up.

    I find myself writing best when i'm surrounded by a natural and beautiful environment.It allows me to have a sense of tranquillity and inspiration.i write best when the topic is in connection with my personal feelings and passion,this allows me to write more freely and become one with my passage.

  14. I find that I write best when I am alone in my bedroom, with music playing.
    Why in my room? because it's my home within my home! It's the place where I feel most comfortable, hence, I am able to think clearly (with the help of music) and write my thoughts and feelings as they come to mind.

  15. I write my best when am alone in a quite and peaceful environments so my thoughts can flow freely. Such an environment would be in my bed room or late at night when everyone is sound asleep. Also when am writing a paper I like having all fact and important info. about that topic so that I have supporting details in that paper.

  16. I write best when i sit on my porch, where it is calm, cool, and quiet during the night time. next i would keep the topic in mind while i look up into the sky to see the beautiful stars and moon. followed by that i would then take deep breaths and let my imagination flow. at this point is where my writing starts as i let my imagination comes to life.

    I certainly agree that writers have their own unique way of writing.The time in which i like to write is at night because of the stillness and peace of no distraction it help me to focus more on what i want to write.this takes place in my room on my bed.The kind of mood im in either happy,sad,hurted what ever it depends on how good my writing is.I believe that i personally write best when I'am hurted by someone or some heartbreaking situation I face. I see that when writing in this way, I can express my inner most person far beyond when I'm talking. I would prepare my imagination to expand as far as possible to think of funny tings.To write things that are attractive,that will motivates the souls,that would even changes someone attitude of a negative thinking to positive.

  23. i write best in a quiet space, it is better if i could write in my room alone, because if only in my room and nobody can bother, the i can think more clearly. The environmental is also important to me to write better, therefore, good environment can take me out of stress from the homework and feel freely to write.

  25. I write best In my room listening to music and watching television. To me it gives me ideas very rapid and sometimes too rapid. Nevertheless in my room is where i like to study or write i cincentrate much better than if I'm on a bus or in my living room. I don't have too much distractions.

  27. Hey Sir! this was a creative way to get and know your students. Well the best way i can write better is if i am in a relaxing environment for example in my room with souls playing and a snack on the side also. Being in a nice atmosphere relaxes my mind therefore i get a better view of what i want to write. I hope to get more fun assignments like this.Bye!!!

  28. The time when i write best is in my bedroom while listening to music. I think staying alone and realizing what I am writing makes me fully understand myself. Why I choose my bedroom because that is where my imagination comes in very easily and I can concentrate on my paper and produce an A.

  29. I think I write best in the early morning when the weather is cool. I would wake up around 2:30 a.m. and take my journal and begin to write. I would write a variety of works ranging from poems, essays, short stories and letters. I like writing poems best. I already have an anthology of poems that I have written in the past. Soon I'll be a famous poet

  30. well..to tell the truth writing is not something id most likely do on a day to day basses, but truthfully i still do. Its common that we all need alone time an we tend to pick up weird hobbies, and i have many. but when i write i seem to cant stop and its mostly when im alone. being in a comfort zone and having nothing to worry about clears anyone's mine quickly. well again i don't write as often so don't expect much. i rather play the piano an draw.everyone wants to be something in life and writing about it may push us to do so, but in the mean time we come to the reality that writing our feelings,ideas etc are all on a piece of paper or on a computer and we all humans. :)

  31. I write best in a quiet, calm and clean environment. That place would be in my bebroom, the reason why in my bedroom is because i would be able to concentrate more easily on my paper and my imagimation would flow with information to write in my paper.

  32. (I write best when I am in the hall early in the morning about 2:00am just drink a hot coffee and put on the television.Were the hall does sound bored then lay down on the tiles and start to think what to write about then start writing and don't stop and don't check the work only i am done.I then check for mistake and correct them and that is my secret to writing.)

  33. Well... the best way to write would definetely be in my bedroom where i could be alone, no noise, and should be completely quietly. At times i do tends to fall asleep but wake up back about 3:00 in the morning when everyone is asleep and there would be no distraction at that time of the night so i would concentrate more better.

    1. The key question asked the exploring introduction into the phase of lesson. As the activity they enjoy in the introduction gave them first hand experience and knowledge which they are able to use in the development of the lesson.

    2. The lesson development activities used to help the students explain how events are sequenced were placing the set of pictures showing steps in the paper making process is sequence after re-reading the books and stopping at appropriate places so students can put their pictures into the sequence. Also, creating a consensus statement that describe how to place things in sequence.

    3. As the children have grasped sequencing using the numerous activities the tr. now allows the children to think" out of the box" using a variety of choices for their answers. The children are then able to use the knowledge learnt and decide how to sequence the events using the additional label wrap up.

    4. The evolution was straight forward and allowed the children to use their creativity and express themselves through drawing.At the same time given oa example that they can easily relate to.

  37. Well as for me...i write best when i'm alone, it may be in my bedroom or outside preferably on my step.some people find it distracting to write outside but somehow i find it interesting because of the breeze and the scenery allows me to think freely. i agree that there might be distractions but being that i live in the village that is rare. and while i'm writing a little music helps me to concentrate even better..again some people can't concentrate with noise but i guess i'm a little different!!!But this is how i write at my best!!!

  39. Well, during all the years being in school. I discover that for me to write good essay I must be alone and free from distraction in the morning. when am fresh and my mine is free from stress. I prefer being in my room or underneath a big tree that provides sufficient shape. I usually play my favourites music but in a very low volume. Sometime I prefer going to my father orchard where I can sit and think. This place is usually quiet. I could only hear birds sing the sound of trees moving side to side. This gives me the energy to continue giving me more ideas.

  40. i write best after i have done something worthwhile or fun. Sometimes but not always i just get the urge to write, i feel a certain inspiration and just write as free as i can, not worrying about any punctuation errors nor tidiness. i just write until the burning sensation has died out.

  41. I feel more comfortable writing when I'm alone in my bedroom or in the see sure. I think this is because with this nobody can molest me and the quiet surrounding helps me getting inspired.To me the noise of sea sure, birds, and wind can give me that extra plus whenever I'm writing! so for me those are my ideal places for writing!
