Keana: The way I wrote when I entered my senior year in the 8Th grade was that I didn't like writing more than a paragraph a day. It was like as the years went on from 3rd grade on I wrote less. In the 2Nd grade I use to write like 2 pages for a project. But, now in the beginning I was lazy. I use to write in my journal less than a paragraph and I always summarized what I read instead of adding thoughts, opinions etc....with only a little part of what I read about the book. Now I write more than I did before for example now I can write page without a problem. Why?All because Mr.Locker insisted on writing 5 paragraphs mostly all the time to get ready for the test also so we can learn how to write. (As if We didn't. LOL.) Anyways now I write with transitions and examples and other things like that. I changed as a writer BIG time. And I'm glad that I did so I can be better for high school. All thanks to Mr. Locker over working us =( . Just kidding at least he did it for a reason =).
