Hi Eng 1303 Class,
Welcome to our class blog! On this site, you can share the Houston place you've written about with your classmates and learn about the various nooks and crannies of the city that they've illuminated in their essays. Please post your thesis and one body paragraph from your essay by class time October 21. (You'll get extra credit if you also post a photograph of your place, or a picture that symbolizes your message about the place!) Then, during class time that day, I ask that you respond to 4 student posts. Tell your peers what you've learned about Houston from them, or how you've always seen the place they're writing about in a different way, or whether you now plan to visit the place they wrote about, etc. Alternatively, you might respond to your classmates descriptive writing techniques. Spend some time reading around and then write 3 or more sentences in response to any 4 posts that catch your fancy. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteAlthough the lake is blue, they don’t call the park green for no reason, the water is surrounded by grassy fields with freshly cut grass. Freshly cut grass cut by men are also the ones who made this park and lake. Everything is made to entertain humans nothing is really naturally there but the way they make it is great. The park is on a hill that looks down on a part of downtown as well as looking up at some parts, such as high rises. If you stand on the hill you can feel the smooth breeze hit your face and you feel like that is where you are supposed to be. The scent of the flowers hits your nose as you inhale causing goose bumps to form on your skin.
