First off, this has been my favorite short story we’ve read so far this semester. It had a complete grip on me from the very first sentence all the way to the last. Honestly, it made me tear up by the end. I really want […]

Evidence #1
This is a lesson I an planning to teach this Thursday and Friday at our poetry residency in York. Our focus for session 4 is figurative language and how it effects us as readers. I’ve noticed a lot of doodlers in the classes I work […]
Journal #3 -Capstone
For Journal #3: Return to the in-class work we did in week 2 and expand as needed or as would be interesting. An additional project to come to terms with perhaps? Look back over your past humanities courses (see that list from week 1-2) and […]
Journal #5 (WRT-317)
Point One: Something they mentioned in the beginning of the video that stuck with me is that in order to receive grants, the nonprofit must be able to display a sustainable income (one that does not solely depend on grants). They explained that the sustainable […]

Point One: The first thing that I want to mention from this chapter can be found within the second paragraph on the first page. It mentions that in some cases, funders are not looking to fund continuing plans and operations, but ones that are new. […]
Journal #2 (WRT-312)
A section of this chapter that really stuck out to me, mostly because it is my biggest challenge in fiction writing, is how we choose where characters come from. Deciding on “who” this person will be and then forming them to be such. I thought […]
Journal #4 (WRT-312)
One aspect of craft that I really enjoyed in this story was how Bowe painted her characters to be “real” but not overdone. It reminded me a lot of the discussion we had last class about how one can achieve building characters and developing them […]
Journal #2 (GW)
Chapter 1: The first thing I found interesting about this chapter was the section on fundraising plans, partnerships, and events. It states how one should look at the various fundraising strategies in mind and aim to incorporate multiple into the overall plan. Having a diversified […]
