Student Prompt

Create your own character. Describe him/her in detail. What's his/her name? Age? What is his/her story?

     My name is Nick Johnson. I am in the 8th grade and I am originally from Mexico. I live in Utah and go to Park Middle School in Park city, Utah. I am 13 years old and I like to create apps. Sometimes I post my apps on the app store if I think people will enjoy them. I made this game called "War Strike" and it has 5 stars on the app store.

    My Family moved to Utah when I was 3 years old. I do not remember the move to Utah in great detail. I have 2 brothers named Mark and Trevor. Mark is 7 years old and Trevor is 16 years old. Mark is just a normal annoying little brother and Trevor is very quiet. I really like Utah because of the weather and all the things to do here.

Writing Center

     Recently I went to the Writing Center for my English class. You have to schedule a appointment to go to the Writing Center. They accept walk in appointments if someone is available. I went to the Writing Center with a friend and a writing fellow helped both of us. We worked on our outline and thesis.

     The writing center was having a party when we went, but they still helped people. There were cookies and other snacks that you could have. When I went to the Writing Center I did not know what to expect because I have never been thee before. Overall my experience at the Writing Center was successful. If I have trouble wth another assignment I might make an appointment.

     Christmas seems forgotten, well at least I think. Exams are around the same time as Christmas and you have to get through exams before you get to have Christmas Break. Exams take away the christmas atmosphere. This is so because you are focused on the exams and you do not get to enjoy the full festivities that are associated with Christmas. When I think of Christmas, I do not think about snow or christmas trees.
    I think about exams and all of the work that is associated with exams. Christmas was the best time of the year before 7th grade because it was worry free and a great time. Christmas is still a fun time, but you have to get past exams before the fun break starts. Some people say that "Christ" should be put back in Christmas because some people say X-mas or another form of Christmas. I think that X- mas should stand for eXams-MAS because when I think of Christmas, I think of exams.

Literary Analysis

     Recently I have been converting my outline to a draft. I am writing a Literary Analysis on Lord of the Flies. The outline was difficult at first, but once I go into the groove of it, the outline was fairly easy. I  just finished my draft and I thought that the outline was more difficult than the draft. The draft was easy to write because of the outline. I am very happy that I made my outline specific and to the best of my ability because it defiantly made my draft easier to write.

    If you are writing your draft and have some trouble coming up with more information, this might help. Try to make your point more broad if it is too specific and detailed. Try to make your supporting point more specific if it is difficult to have a significance. The writing center was a resource I used to help me with my outline. Getting the outline straight before writing the paper is a great idea. It is difficult  to write the paper without a strong outline.
