2. I think that the instructor should start to include some oral presentations of writing to really open up the creativity in the classroom. This well help students become more comfortable with speaking in front of crowds, and will be a fun way to do assignments and get marks for it as well. Something that could possibly be stopped is accepting work past particular due dates, unless the reasoning is absolutely valid, or take marks off for late work. This will help prepare students for university or college, where due dates are very important. Something that should be continued is having the instructor edit work before handing it in. Having this collaborative work really helps the student see their work from another persons perspective and allows them to accept criticism from the instructor. This also allows for the student to do as well as they possibly can on the assignment which really helps when applying to university with a good mark in the course. Overall, I think I have really grown as a writer and I would absolutely recommend this course to anybody, whether they are interested in writing or not.

1. The grade 12 Writers Craft course has helped me in so many ways. This course has improved my writing skills and taught me things I would have never known without taking it. In regards to my writing skills, I think that they have improved tremendously. Before this year, I can honestly say that I was still misplacing commas, using dialogue incorrectly, and using a lot of run-on sentences. My work that has been submitted and marked has given me feedback on how to improve my writing and correct those mistakes. This new skill has helped me in my other courses as well, such as English and even Biology. In terms of personal growth, I feel as though I have improved greatly in regards to creativity. Before this course, I was not a creative writer by any means. I have really stepped out of my comfort zone and this has sparked a true love for writing. I have learned to try new things, which is something I struggled with before taking this course.
