Writing Class - after half term.


This was the first day back to college after half term. It was a good session once everyone got into it, but the first half hour dragged and enthusiasm was thin on the ground. We discussed writing styles and talked loads about punctuation; well that's why we are all there, but somehow this morning, it seemed heavy going. A lot of it was to do with the only man in our class. He is normally the life and soul of the session and always has a witticism close to hand, but he had a monster hangover so that was not helpful as he became very quiet and without his friendly banter the class felt quiet.

The homework we have been given is a copy of everyone else's work and were told to write comments, critical or otherwise, on their drafts. You can't do that to someone you sit next to. This week is going to take a lot of prudent thinking!
