I am going to use this journal as a bit of catch-up. Fist and foremost, our group has chosen to concentrate on creative writing in the teaching of English as a second or foreign language. I love creative writing and therefore I am greatly interested in how I can integrate it into my classroom one day.
In the past my group, Aaron(Charlie), Adib and I have met several times to discuss our plan of action for the annotated bibliography, our sources used and our first 2 genres. We all work really well together and great ideas are in abundance. Each of us brings a certain strength to the group and therefore we work well together.
Our annotated bibliography went very well and I actually enjoyed reading the different scholarly journal articles because I am deeply enthralled with the subject at hand. There was so much support for the idea of creative writing in the classroom that it was almost overwhelming. The fact that research shows that poetry can tech the natural intonation of English speech is amazing! That is something that at times cannot be taught but it is important for comprehension of the spoken language.
Making the first 2 genres was so much fun. I liked making the poster and the feed back that I received from my group as well as the peer reviewed group was dually noted. Overall, I am really happy to be in the group that I am in and to be studying the subject that I am. It makes me want to start teaching right now.

I thought your poster was awesome. I felt bad that we HAD to critique it, I really didn't have a problem with it. I think you bring a good contrast to your group too, since Aaron and Adib don't strike me as guys who use a lot of sparkle glitter!
