Each member of the class is an "author" with freedom to choose any theme, genre, format, and length they feel will be meaningful for them. The goal is to develop life-long writers who use English not only as a tool for professions, but as a way for self-expression that can connect and communicate with readers all over the world. Please enjoy and leave comments!

Nozomi's Second Piece "Midnight City" (Poem)
This is my second piece.
I wrote four poems each paired up by a picture.
The background picture is where I originally got the inspiration of the poem for, so please take the poem and the picture together as a piece.
I would like to thank Mark and Ryoko for discussing with me about my piece.

Nozomi's First Piece, "Who am I" (Poem)
Author's Note:
I made a poem about how I would answer to a question, "who am I?"
This blogging question made me really think deeply about this, so I developed my blog comment to a longer piece of poem. The question made me reflect on myself, and further on how I view the world. I did not think it was possible to express what I felt through logical paragraph, so I wrote this in the form of poem. This way I could let my thoughts come out as words closest to what I have within me.
I would like to thank Tsubasa, Ryo, Mark, and Ms. Hill for helping me develop my piece.

Publishing - Just send me a Google Doc or other link!
Advice for Publishing:
1. Make sure you've had at least one other classmate give you feedback for revision and editing.
2. Send me a Google Doc link, and add me as an Editor. Other types of links are fine too. For example, if you want to add your voice or BGM, you can create a YouTube video.
3. Think about colors and how it will look as a published piece (font colors, size, background colors, images)
4. Send me an Author's Note that explains your theme and genre and your feelings about this piece. You can include things about what you tried to emphasize and what points you want to still improve in the piece, too. Inviting comments and reaction is a good thing to do too.
5. Feel free to keep updating or modifying your piece on Google Docs any time you like!
