The Three-Paragraph Essay

Here is a written work by one of my students in the creative writing class I do this summer. We're on the topic of essay writing and I usually begin with the basic structure of writing one. Using the model approach to writing, Dalzel, was able to whip up an essay for her portfolio.

About Me
By Dalzel Erap

I am a student of Grace Christian College (GCC). As a student, I have curricular and extra-curricular activities. I spend most of my time in the library. I also study and do my assignments there. But sometimes I go there just to read History and Science books. I love doing my Library Research Report (LRR) because I love going to the library and doing research. I am a member of the Elementary Chorale. During Saturdays, I attend the MTAP math program and NAT review.

Aside from being a student, I am also a typical girl. When it’s summer or weekends, I always watch television. I love surfing the web and chatting online. I love reading books. In fact, everytime I go to the mall, I always look for a bookstore. I practice drawing anime and other characters. I even create my own character or give a ‘make-over’ storybook/movie characters. I also hang out with friends in Tri Noma, sometimes. During weekends, I visit my cousins. While on Christmas vacation, I visit my grandparents. I usually teach my younger brother and sister about the world and how it came to be.

As person, I have many roles in my life. I am a student, a friend, a sister, a cousin, a granddaughter and a regular person. I find it hard to describe myself further, so I’ll leave the rest to you.

Three Haiku

Haiku
by Douya


You give hope to me
You relieve me from darkness
Beautiful sunshine




You to me stand out
Like a flower on lilies
You are plain gorgeous



Three lighted candles
Two are red one is yellow
All give light at night

It's Summer Again!

Ola, amigo! Mi amiga!

I'm back to doing writing workshops for kids this summer. To start of, I have a couple haiku to post in this blog by a new student. So, if you're patient enough to check him out and his writing, his poetry will be posted tomorrow.

It's good to be back doing something I really love.
