My Amazing  20% Project Reflection!!!!!!
For my 20% project I created a different variety of poems because it is something that interested me and I gave it a try.  What I would  have to say about the project is it was okay because I had to come up with a lot of different ideas for poems, but I did enjoy making up rhymes and poems about random things that I just popped into my mind. When I started the project I was originally going to to a story write a story. I did this because I was hard to come up with a story topic some I decided to do poems. The products that I created for the project was that I made 25 different poems. Some of the poems are rhyming some of them are not. I  also wanted to make my poems unique they weren’t just something I got off the internet. When I was writing these poems I was thinking of what would good rhymes be for each poem. When I was writing the rough copy I made sure that the poems were on topic and didn’t get off the subject. I did this because I didn’t want the poems to look weird and talk about two different objects in the same poem. Steps that I took to create the final product was that I had a cover for the book and came up with my own title, made sure that the poems made sense, made a table of contents for the book , and put page number on them. The thing that I liked about the project was that you got to do whatever you want, you got about three weeks to do it, and that if you wanted to do it with partners or not. I chose not to have a partner. Something that I would have maybe done is have written more poems to make it longer. Those are reasons for why I liked the project, what I did for the project and what things I could have done better if I ever did the project again. So get out there and write cool and interesting poems and show them to your family and peers!

  2. I think that your topic to do your 20% project on was really cool Ali. I think that it was really cool that you decided to do a book of poems because most people our age don't really read poems or like righting them. I can't wait to see what the turn out is but I'm sure it will be amazing like you said in the title. I am terrible at making poems because I suck at rhyming but I am really excited for hearing some of the poems you wrote and to me 25 poems is a lot. All together I think you did a good job on your blog response and I can't wait to see the finished response.

  3. Good job Ali!
    You had a wonderful structure and a good long response.
    As Alta suggested I think you should come up with a catchy lead and maybe a title..

  4. Ali, I agree with Erin when I congratulate you on your choice of topic for the assignment. Not many students are comfortable writing poems, and you were able to create a full volume of them, which was great. I was glad to hear that you enjoyed the project, and that you were able to do something unique, and something that reflected strengths in your abilities. MrB
