I’m a slacker.
So it’s been since November since I’ve blogged. Oops.
Strangely enough, I’m sitting in a workshop about blogging right now, which is what prompted me to write.
So let’s check in with what happened with my list from November:
1. Revive the writing group that I started last year at my old school or start a new one at my new school. Nope, didn’t manage to do this.
2.Do some research on graphic novels. I’d like to look at how readers are creating meaning with graphic novels. This might end up being a big project. I did look into it a bit, but didn’t have the time to do such a big project. Maybe next year.
3. Present a Professional Development Course for my school on graphic novels. Nope, not yet.
4. Write a proposal for next year’s NCTE or CEL conference. I’m not sure what on yet, but being at the conference this year without any official role was a bit strange. I like being a part of the conference, not just an attendee. Nope, failed here, too.
5. Do the National Writing Project at Rutgers this summer. I hoped I’d be able to afford it last year, but we bought a house instead. I think I can do it this summer. I’ve applied. Hopefully it’ll work out.
6. Write an article for NJCTE’s journal. Nope, didn’t do it… yet.
7. Take an online creative writing course from Indiana University. YES, this course will be complete next week!
So I didn’t complete as many of the projects as I wanted to do, but I’m proud that I took the class online and am looking forward to the NWP this summer, hopefully I can still afford it!
I’ll try to post again soon about the class I took and how my school year is going.
