• Have you been diligent and productive in your use of class time?
Well…in a way. You see I can’t just sit and write at a computer because I find it very uninspiring. However our little discussions are somewhat inspiring and I’ve filled up quite a few journal pages from them. Except then when it comes to posting this stuff on my blog I’m like, THATS HORRIBLE! So then I don’t. 
• Have you shown steady progress in writing skills?
I think I’ve made some progress in my writing skills. I think it’s impossible not too to make progress if you’re doing something regularily. I think I’ve expanded my topics and I’ve written about things I probably wouldn’t have in the past, some sort of abstract ideas…some Burroughs inspired ramblings.
• Do you write at home three to four times a week?
I write in my notebooks fairly often, but not long stories and stuff, just ideas and thoughts that then lead to stories later when I’m bored. Theres a lot of stories in my notebooks that I’ve written while traveling, they’re my favorite because its usually things that don’t happen in every day life. Such as, visiting the police station in one of the richest areas of london, hiding from the NAVY in Mexico, chasing reindeer in Lapland ect.

• Do you actively initiate conferencing with peers and the teacher about your writing?
Yes, when there is something I’m proud of or just want an opinion on. In fact I had Alesha read an old piece of my writing this weekend. We decided it would be best not to post that on this blog though.

• Do you actively participate in discussions and group share?
No less than I usually do in other classes. Except half the time when I have something to say, someone else says it first so then I get sad. But I did volunteer for the very first share day.

• Have you completed work for your portfolio?
I’ve completed a few things, and theres a few things I could complete in the near future. Theres just a lot of stuff I have to get around to typing and prefecting.
