Decriptive Writing-

On October 25^th, 2016 our literacy class was very interesting. The class began with our course lecturer asking volunteers to read their descriptive pieces they had written as part of our lit 102 assignments. A few of our classmates opted to volunteer to read their piece of work. This was a very interesting activity for us as we were able to hear and see how creative many of our classmates were. Also, as our classmates shared their pieces of work this assisted us in providing ideas for our own personal writing as well as pieces of writing that can be useful for our students in the classroom.

Additionally, one of the few persons who volunteered to read aloud their descriptive piece was one of our group members carina. This exercise provided her with much more confidence than she possessed.

We then moved on to another genre of writing which was expository writing. We began this lesson with an expository piece being given to us. We read the expository piece and tried to formulate an outline (plan) for this piece. This was indeed a good activity as the process for doing an outline was modelled and as a result it served as a guide to me when we would have to do my own. Lastly, during the course of this lesson new vocabulary was being learnt. we enjoyed learning new vocabulary as this definitely will assist us in improving our written and oral abilities.
