What Does Writing Mean To Me ?

Abigail says ....











Writing in my opinion is an avenue of communication which enables someone to record their thoughts, feelings and opinions on a given topic. These thoughts are recorded by using pen and paper, text to speech or by typing. I believe that writing should be important to everyone in society. To get through school life as an infant, some form of writing should be done; moving up ladder in finding a job some form of writing is required. After all, while living in a world of chaos and strife it is mandated that students portray the ability to express their opinions through writing with respect, knowing that their thought and voices are heard.

Writing to me, is a process of accumulating ideas and thoughts.  Writing helps me express myself exactly the way I want to. I sometimes find speaking is hard for me, therefore I write to convey ideas quickly but eloquently. Writing has the way of concealing the true motive behind its words. When words are written, they make sentences and then they make up paragraphs. When my pen meets my paper the two are connected like glue. My thought paves the way for ideas to flow like a river emptying my mind. Writing keeps me actively engaged as I construct meaning in each sentence as the goal is to fulfill the intentions of my readers, leaving them with a feeling of satisfaction. There are many reasons why I pick up my pen and paper; It is because something interesting came to mind, through vicarious experiences, the power of observing and through mind blowing and stimulating conversations with friends and family that prompts me to write.

Writing is not just putting words on paper but using text to effectively communicate thoughts, feelings and ideas whether by writing or typing. Though its foundation lies on acquiring knowledge of the alphabet, spelling, basic grammar and punctuation, there are many other skills that children need to learn to become competent writers. As spoken words may provoke shyness, withdrawal of expression and may demotivate an introvert person, writing allows thoughts to be expressed in its full capacity, with no hindrances. Writing is a powerful lifelong tool and ss individuals engage in writing, their ability to communicate with clarity, expressing their feelings, thoughts and share understanding of knowledge acquired is developed as well as writing conventions which allow readers to clearly understand ones piece without having to stop to try to figure out what was actually intended. However, if modelling, demonstrations and illustrations are absent from instruction students will not be become good writers and will not be motivated to write. If writing instruction puts a bad taste in its learners’ mouth, they will avoid it. In addition to that they will not develop the necessary skills needed for writing, therefore not reaching their full potential as writers. Like a first impression that is everlasting

BLOGGING…………….. A WAY TO INSPIRE EMPOWER AND EDUCATE THE WORLD


Blogs range from the personal, to social, and they can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.  It can be considered as an avenue used to express  one’s self or share facts while learning new things and improve on one’s writing.

Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as sports or modern technology. Some are more diverse, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the daily life and thoughts of the blogger.

The content of a blog consists of post or entries that the blogger or author writes. Some blogs have multiple authors, each writing his/her own entry and some done together as a group.

Today in class we focused on blogging. Most of us created blogs already on blogspog however our knowledge on blogging was limited. Therefore the lecturer walked us through the features of blogs and created an apetite for blogging that got us craving more on the topic. The excitement grew when we created limericks and posted them on our blogs. We added videos and photos to enhance our posts and commented on our colleagues blogs. It was a great class in deed that ended with thoughts on a frass day, a fat cow and a man named Mr Link.


Let us blog away becauseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……………………………when you blog you ⇣
