Sample Narrative Essay now available to view!

Hi, guys!

I wanted to post a quick update for all those who are still confused about writing a narrative essay. Remember that a narrative essay is a story you want to recreate for your readers based on an experience you have had. It also needs to express a lesson that you have gained from that experience. You could choose to be funny or dramatic! Have fun and see you all in class! Blog on!

Blogging

Hi, everyone!

I just wanted to say that I am happy that blogging has been underway for most classes. Please check out other students' posts and leave your comments. Remember the 3 C's of internet citizenship: Content, Contact, and Conduct. In other words, be polite and proper in your comments. Have a great day and happy blogging!

Why do we write?

"I hate writing."

"Writing sucks."

"Writing is booo-ring!"


How many times have you heard these comments from your friends and classmates? Too many, perhaps! Most often than not, many people complain about the difficulty of writing. They think that it is complicated, tedious, or worse, worthless! But, wait a second...think about it this way!

According to the National Writing Project of Michigan: Why do we write? We write to learn, to share our learning with others, to express our creativity, to accomplish our work and the work of others, to make connections—between ideas and between people.

There...so, writing is NOT so bad, is it? This blog, for instance, is meant for you to delve into a world unknown to you, swim in a sea of adventure that could take you to places you have never been, meet people you've never encountered, imagine stories you never thought conceivable...and well...the possibilities are endless!

Welcome!

A warm welcome to the GLPS XVI summer camp blog site! My name is Ms. Karen Palomo and I will be your teacher for this camp. I would like you to feel comfortable exploring the site and use it as a tool to communicate your thoughts, feelings, and ideas. For this project, I would like to start you off with understanding the purpose of writing. As well, I hope that you will enjoy the idea of writing and not be scared of it.

Explore. Imagine. Lead. Soar. These are some of the themes I hope we can all achieve at the end of the camp! So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, jump in!
