When I was connecting my own personal memories with my emotions in my writing, I was able to take my mind back to those times. I was able to relive my memory through my writing pieces. Having the hand graphic organizer has helped think of my different memories in which I felt a certain type of way. By doing this even though I didn’t write all of my different memories, I was able to go and think why I felt this way. Which made me realize that I had a lot of memories in my head connected to different emotions which I didn’t think I had before. 

The writing I enjoyed the most is my narrative and writing about my dog. I felt that being able to relive that memory when I got my best friend was a memory, I was able to look back on and all the emotions came back as I was writing it. The writing I enjoyed the least was the poem only because I am very bad at writing poems. Although the six-rooms helped me develop it better I still feel that I really didn’t enjoy it as much as I did my other writings. One strategy that I can take away is adding details to my story because like I said I am a very to the point person. Which I feel my writing suffers from so being able to learn how to add more details is a good strategy. I can include this in my classroom because so far I see a lot of my students suffer from adding more to their stories. Another strategy is being able to revise my story, because I barely do this I only write and turn in my work. So being able to go back and look over and fix any mistakes is helpful. This can be applied to my classroom as well because having someone else’s opinion on your writing is helpful to make it stronger. 

My technology tool I used is Padlet, I find it that it is a tool which is straight to the point. You can set it up however you want it. There is a variety of different styles of Padlets you can make. I feel that this tool can be used for any type of project really. It is a very straight forward tool you know where to find everything and anything you need on the website. A con I find is that it only gives you three free Padlets to make and then you would have to subscribe and pay to make more Padlets. So that is one disadvantage which really is something that should be changed I feel.
