First-Person and Performance Story

It was interesting to write a story in the first person, as I never had before. I also found it difficult to describe the scene and add enough detail. It was a learning experience and hopefully my article will be interesting to others.

I think it would be beneficial to be able to edit our articles when they are handed back. I find myself learning a lot from the comments, but would like the opportunity to fix my mistakes and have it reviewed again.

I have some ideas on who I would like to write about for the performance story, but am still looking for the most interesting person!

Megan,
I kind of see your point about being able to use the comments to rewrite your stories. I was actually thinking about applying that rule next semester :)
For this semester, you guys will get that opportunity with your final project draft. It is just that, given the number of stories we had to finish this semester, it would have been very difficult to allow you to do rewrites for every single story. So it is an idea I have been thinking about, but if I am to implement this in future, I have to assign less stories to give students time to rewrite if they want to.
But in the meantime, you can definitely use the comments and apply them to the next story; that way, you still use what you learn from the comments.
