Most of us don't write essays over the summer (though some of us might have if we took summer school), but we do write over the summer. No, really, I mean it. These are a few of the things I wrote:
- To do lists
- Emails
- Short Stories
- Shopping lists
- Thank you notes
- Directions for the neighbor who watered my yard while I visited my grand kids in San Diego
- Facebook updates
- Lesson plans
Most of the writing I did was informal. Quite a bit of it didn't even include complete sentences. The purpose was primarily informal communication between myself and my family/friends. Sometimes my only audience was myself. Only a few pieces, such as the thank you notes and short stories were really intended for a formal audience. I wrote several drafts of the stories, but otherwise all of my summer writing was essentially one draft work. I think the biggest difference between the writing I do over the summer and during the school year is that during the school year I have a bigger audience, so I try to proofread a bit more.
What kinds of writing did you do this summer? Reflect on it. How was it similar or different to the writing you do during the school year?
i have a story that I have been writing, and I was wondering if you might read it to see if my grammar is correct, and if I have any run-on or incomplete sentences. I have it on this website called wattpad.com
