Nonetheless, when someone else’s purpose is both to entertain and to share human experiences with a diverse audience including yourself, creative writing comes in.

Lesson 1 WRITING A JOURNAL

We can associate writing journals using fictional text as a laboratory, where you experiment with different methodologies. It can be a source of details to add texture and flavor to your writing.

Writing a journal is utmost vital as a warm-up for creative writing or as a remedy for writer’s block. The way journal writing works is that you keep your pen moving on the page, normally during a set amount of time. If you don’t have anything to say, you can write, “I don’t have anything to say,” over and over until something else occurs to you. Don’t judge or correct yourself as you are writing; don’t worry about sounding smart or even making sense. It is a way of tricking your mind into relaxing. Then interesting things often start to cascade on the mind. Writing journals can be an influential approach for students to respond to literature, gain writing fluency, dialogue in writing with another student or the teacher, or write in the content areas.

J O U R N A L

The Merriam-Webster defines a journal as “a book in which you write down your

What Is It The activities above are just some of the few pre-writing activities, same with how writing a journal works, it gives you a taste of what to do when you are realistically writing one. personal experiences and thoughts.” A lot of writers keep journals for indefinite periods of time because they always find something interesting in their lives to talk about and even remarkable happenings that need to be recorded either as a basis or inspiration.

The only thing you will ever need for journal writing are: your favorite pen, a nice clean notebook; and the drive to keep on writing. The drive to write is the most important, because a journal is no good to a person who does not write at all. No particular rules to follow in writing a journal not like in technical writing. Fluency of the language is one good pre-requisite to write an effective journal. Technicalities in the language such grammar, punctuations and styles are secondary, but still it requires accuracy of the language used. Try stretching your writing goals a bit to challenge yourself, yet always keep it realistic and practical at the same time. Get yourself used to the habit of finding something to talk about, so that it comes naturally to you. You will surely know more about the world, the people around you and including yourself when you learn to manage writing your own journal.

Journal entries are also referred as reflective writing, in that you can use them to consider and answer to something you have read or learned prior to engaging in the writing process. However, journal entries should not merely summarize what you have read, nor should they focus only on your feelings. Instead, they should demonstrate your ability to conduct a critical inquiry. The term, critical inquiry, is referred as steps involved in collecting accumulating and evaluating and even analyzing ideas or information.

Journal writing can also provide you with the opportunity to: • become more confident about writing; • broaden your perspective about topics; • gather material for later essays; • identify progress in writing;

• overcome writing blocks; • spend more time on self-reflection; and • write without fear of criticism.

To lead you to a creative journal writing, here are some journal ideas for creative writers:

People-watch. Learn to observe the people around you. The people around you can become fictional characters or the subjects of poems. Make notes about people you know; their appearance, their body language, their voices, the way they relate to each other. Any of this can be the beginning of a story or poem.

Listen. Listen to both important and unimportant details in conversations. Listen to your own family and friends –really listen. Not just to what they’re saying, but to the words they use, the pauses, the unique rhythms of their speech. And write down pieces of speech when they are still fresh in your ears.

Take a walk. Observe your surroundings. Describe the weather, the colors and textures, the light and shadow. Go beyond what you see – describe the sounds, the smells, the feeling of the air on your skin. These details will give authenticity to your creative writing, make it feel as if the reader is in your creative phase.

Take a field trip. Go out and have yourself experience the beauty of the outside world. Visit one of the most talked about place in your locality. Get the story and write. Write down the details that will make the setting come alive on the literary piece. Go somewhere you would normally never go, it usually where you get interesting stories.

Use real-life stories. Be authentic. Learn to get inspiration from the genuine stories of life and people. Make notes on the story, and imagine the parts you don’t know. Imagine it as if you were there. Be creative enough to imagine things that can be a great part in your story.

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease. It was first reported in China in December 2019. Because this is a new disease, doctors are still learning about it. You can expect them, along with other health experts, to provide new information about it frequently. What I Have Learned Common symptoms of COVID-19 include a fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers a person to have a fever when he or she has a measured temperature of at least 100.4 °F [38 °C]. These symptoms may occur 2 to 14 days Directions:after being Read exposed the texts to theand virus.fill the Most gaps. people Choose who the answer come down from withthe words COVID inside-19 the have box. mild symptoms. These symptoms can make you feel like you have the flu. However, some people have more severe symptoms. In these cases, the virus may lead to pneumonia.

The most common way to get COVID-19 is by inhaling respiratory droplets in the air. When a person with COVID-19 coughs and sneezes, tiny droplets leave their mouth and nose and go into the air. You can’t see these droplets. If you’re within 6 feet of that person, you may breathe in those droplets. You won’t even know you’ve done it. But by doing that, you may get the germs that cause COVID-19 in your body.

COVID-19 also can be shared if you touch a surface an infected person has touched. Some examples include door handles, elevator buttons and shopping carts. The germs can get into your body if you then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
