We can train ourselves to respect our feelings, and to discipline(transpose) them into a language that matches those feelings so they can beshared.
Poetry can be used as a way to help us understand our own feelings better. Respecting your own feelings can be a struggle for a lot of people so having a way to write down your sad moments in a creative way can help people feel more validated and come out stronger and know it's ok to feel all the feelings.
The Writing Center
This place has been really helpful in the past! Especially when I had writers block and didn't know how to make my writing even better, or which direction to take it!
Short exercises meant to put the concepts explored in the lecture into use
I think this will help us break out of our shells and help us get more comfortable with different writing styles in poetry! Sometimes you learn one way to do it and it becomes a default, this will help expand our knowledge and help us be even more creative.
This is meant to ease the worry over grading for you! As long as you sincerely attempt theassignment you will get at least a B and may likely get an A depending on your work
This makes me a little more relaxed about this class so I can focus more on being creative and being open to trying new things, with out the fear of failing.
