WRIT Launch

WRIT Launch

 This afternoon, I went to a writing activities called in the sturm hall. In this event, both of students and faculty introduce the magazine writing programs and share some experiences with the writing.

Firstly, the directors introduce about their programs is for students, and also for publish the books and issued the magazine. Then, two students hosts told audience that they really excited to be a student editor for the magazine, to see their print work and it is a great experience for then, not only for the resume.

The next part is focus on the authors to share their writing in front of us and every author read their writing for audience.

The first author talks about inclusive excellence of university of Denver.

The second person talks about the urban garden, she mentions that the schools garden teaches all children to take care of nature.

The third person talks about the memory, and the whole writing is talks about her grandmother. She believes that people forget things all the time, but they do not forget how to remember.

The fourth author mentions about black women’s hair, and share some personal stories.

The fifth person mentions about the gender issues from male athletes, and some thing about the unfair situations from homosexual male athletes.

The last author talks about how black boys face the unfair issues in the school and how does he overcome those things.

The most interesting part I think is the homosexual issues of male athlete, and they have a lot of hard times on their teams: no one want to make team with them and they are also bullied by other teenager.

After sharing writing, audience asked some questions for the authors. They talks about choosing topic because of their interests, and some of them writing just for themselves. Also, there is one author mentions about the blog, and she said that even a lot of her classmates did not use blog after writing class, but she still use blog to share her personal experiences.

One professor asked about the course designing: a lot of authors mention doing service learning, go to downtowns to communicate with other community will be better.

At last, a professor of writing 1133 course ended about this activities and she encourage students to join their magazine to become a student editor.

After this writing activity, I think writing is creative, and people can write about their personal experiences or following some special topic, but the more interesting and creative is a better choice for writers. You do not need write your paper for some purpose every time because we need make writing more color.
