Workshops Rule!

The first day of our workshops I was a little confused as to what this would really help us with or if it would even broaden our imagination. I can say now that these workshops really help me with creating my paper. I like the fact that we are taking advantage of other peoples brains and ideas, thats not something you get to do everyday in classes. I have written and re written my paper several times because of great ideas I get from classmates. My writing style is a bit different than any normal writing style. I begin by sitting down and thinking of a topic to write about. Once I have come up with a topic I brainstorm and come up with key terms. Once I have a general idea I take a break and either get on Facebook or watch a little television. Getting on Facebook and watching television help me think of creative ideas for my paper. I then sit back down and begin writing a little more. I usuall take another break and go to the mall or walk my dog. Going to the mall helps me clear and relax my mind. Once I have my rough draft complete I bring it into our workshop at class. My paper gets completley re written everytime after this class period, it never fails. I am not complaining though because I know it will be ten times better than before. I think it is safe to say that these workshops that we do during class help my writing process and style in many ways. Several imaginations are always better than one.
On the other hand, sometimes I feel like half the class doesnt participate. Maybe do some hands on creative games or class participation games for a small amount of the class period. It might help getting the class to participate and spark some ideas into our brain.
