YeahWrite Challenge #440 "My Humans" by Amy Irons

One day, I woke up from my snooze to find that my humans were gone. I picked myself up from the cold floor to check the rest of the house. I couldn’t smell them anywhere, and there weren’t any sounds. The little girl usually likes to sing, and I didn’t hear any of that. After I checked the entire house, even after climbing up the stairs, which was hard for my old hips, I decided that they weren’t home. Where could they be? I heard a small fly come from the outside, so I followed it to where it came from, realizing that I could get out. What if my humans were outside? I squeezed myself out of the house and was met by tall grass and a bunch of bugs. My mom human’s car wasn’t there, the one I like to ride in. Dad human’s car hadn’t been there for a long time, and I stopped smelling him. I lost him. Knowing that my mom human and girl human were not there, I felt alone and unsure as to what I should do. So I sat down in the yard under the tall trees for a little while, thinking. After som...

YeahWrite Challenge #439: "Velocity" by Amy Irons

     Mama decided to homeschool me. Why? I’m not quite sure, exactly. It wasn’t like I was failing my classes. Actually, I had almost all A’s, which was good for me, especially since Home Economics dragged me down. When I was pulled from school, I had a 85.6% in the class which drove me crazy. No matter how much I argued with that old Hag of a teacher, I couldn’t get it higher. But Daisy Thomas had a 96.7% in the class. And she thought she was so smart. In your dreams! Anyways, back to Home Economics. Right. I tend to go off on long tangents. So, my guidance counselor put me into that wretched class this year and COMPLETELY ignored my request to take Physics. “Ladies like yourself aren’t scientists,” she told me. What does that idiot know about what’s good for me? So I got stuck in a class of all girls learning to make sandwiches, sewing clothes, and reading about ways to please your husband when he comes home from a long day of work. I was miserable. And worst of all, I ...

Writing: It's About The Process

Image
In the third chapter about essay writing in Linda Christensen's Teaching For Joy And Justice , Christensen explains that receiving good writing from students takes time, and that there needs to be more of a focus on student progress, rather than the final product (Christensen 132). This can be accomplished if educators teach writing, which is a big difference than simply assigning writing. As teachers, allowing students time in the classroom to work on their writing and providing instruction and feedback during the process will not only help students improve in their skills, but inspire them to write that essay that excites them, one that could maybe even be called, as Christensen's student proclaimed, "fire." In this chapter, Christensen explains the steps of a paper and how helping students in each step will lead to better writing. The step that stuck out to me the most was generating thesis statements, and how a good one will guide an essay. In my middle and h...
