I'm going to write about when my family and I went to our annual summer vacation to PEI 2 years ago, more specifically our adventure in the little town on PEI's outskirts. The senses I will be focusing on will be smell, because the motel that we were staying in smelled really really old and gross. I'm going to use the ATL skill by being descriptive and captivating in my anecdote. I think it will be more interesting and make you feel like your really there if I do that.
ReplyDeletegreat idea great blog
DeleteThat sounds like a fun adventure to hear!
Deletepei sounds funm
DeleteMy anecdote is about the first time I sat in the emergency exit in a plane. It was a funny but embarrassing moment. The senses I will be using are sight, touch and sound. These will help everyone understand and picture the story better. I will use speaking techniques to make my story more interesting and to make sure the audience will be captivated.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing it!
DeleteAfter putting in careful consideration I have decided to write about a crazy experience I had on August 5th,2016. That day I was bitten by another human. I swear the story is more interesting than it sounds. I will never ever forget this day just because of how out of the ordinary that crazy hour and a half was.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, great blog!
DeleteMan, this is going to be... interesting... to say the least...
DeleteMy anecdote is going to be about the time my brother and I were at my cottage in Little Kenesis (the lake) when there was a storm... It will mostly be about sight and touch and lack of sound. To create a beginning that is really interesting I willl incorporate a hook, and after the hook I will use multiple literary devices to engage the listeners. So it can become interesting and exciting.
ReplyDeleteThat'll be really cool!
Deleteim not sure what im going to write about but i have one idea and it is when last summer i went camping in Tremblant national park and it was like -2 degrees outside in august and i went swimming in the lake even though the water was five degrees Celsius and my cousins and i almost all got hypothermia.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good story!
DeleteMy anecdote is going to be about the first time I visited the student's houses in the Dominican Republic. Mr. Katz has probably had enough of my DR stories, but it kind of seems like all of my best stories are really the kid's. My story is devastating and beautiful and I think (or hope) that people will find it as interesting as I do.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been to Dominican Republic before , for vacation. The rain is like Malaysian rain, extremely quick yet devastating . No joke forget about taking a shower inside. Just look at the weather broadcast, grab some soap and go outside and voilia eco friendly shower
DeleteThe topic that i will be doing is a child hood memory.I will be focusing on one of the first time i was riding a bike. I will most likely start it off with explaining the scene and then move on from their. I will also be using hyperbolas and similes to make the audience furth understand what my story.
ReplyDeletethats great
DeleteFor my anecdote, I’ve decided to write about when I decided to get over my fear of heights. Personally, I think that the story is pretty funny, since it includes six- or seven-year-old me literally jumping out of a tree and scaring myself half to death, so that's why I’ve decided to tell it. The senses that I’ll be focusing on most are sight and touch, since sight was very obviously where the fear stemmed from and I have a lot of touch-related memories associated with my experiences.
ReplyDeletei dont know what im going to be talking about yet. i need to get it done. this is pretty big so i need to be sure that i really want to write about it. i also need to hurry up cause i also dont waste all my time just thinking about it. ill make it good though hopefully.
ReplyDeleteya me neither!! great blog
DeleteYou need to find a topic quick
DeleteI haven't really thought about what I was going to write my anecdote about. I'm pretty sure I want to write it about my trip in Cancun though. I had a lot of memories there. I do need to start thinking about what to do though
ReplyDeleteFor my anecdote, I decided to write about my time at a sleep away camp for cadets. I will explain my experience from leaving my parents, getting on a plane and meeting my roommates. The senses that I will be focusing on will be mainly sight and touch, followed by some sound. To incorporate the ATL skill, I will ensure that I use a variety of literary devices. For example, similes to compare my experiences.
ReplyDeleteFor my anecdote, I am probably going to be talking about when I first found out that my sister got pregnant. The senses that I will be focusing on are sight, since I fell in love with my newborn niece at first sight. To incorporate the ATL skill, I will be using tons of literary devices to let the audience experience exactly how I felt at that exact moment.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really fun! I can't wait to hear it
DeleteFor my anecdote I will be most likely talking about when I fainted. The sense that I will be most focused on is sight because everything was so hectic and everything happened quite fast. I will still be talking about other senses like smell, sound and taste. I will use a lot of the atl skills so I can make the audience understand how it felt if they were in my position.
ReplyDeleteDid you fall when you fainted? I hope you didn't hit your head...
DeleteFor my Anecdote I think I will talk about going to the cabane a sucre (sugar shack) and the sense that you experience when you go there. I will use atl skills to try to put the reader in my shoes and make them understand the different senses I experienced. I think that talking about going to the cabane a sucre is a good idea because you experience a lot of senses.
ReplyDeleteMy anecdote might be about what happened to me when my biological dad forgot to wash his hands after doing a lab( I don’t remember what exactly he did so I’ll be asking my mom) but he brought some kind of sickness which weakened me terribly to the point that I was in the hospital for around 2 weeks . It was quite terrifying as I felt stalky tiered and couldnt really move . I’ll right about that hopefully but it happens when I was really really young so if my memory is too vivid i might talk about a different topic however that’s the one I’m focused on . I’ll have to use the atl learner profile thinker to think on how to convey those memories to others as most of it was more on my body (sense of touch I believe) I might drop some imagery in there and some similes to intensify it
ReplyDeleteI’m not entirely sure if I’ll be able to write 350 words on the topic so I may change it but I will most likely be doing my anecdote on my family’s first Rabbie Burns night. We all brought some scottish food but the interesting part was what my uncle did when he read his poem. I might also have to change it because I’m not entirely sure if it’s too inappropriate but if I did this story I’d focus on hearing because the poem was honestly the most memorable thing that night.
ReplyDeleteFor my anecdote I have decided to write about the time I broke my hand. This happened last year at school so it should be pretty funny. It is something I remember clearly so it should be easy to write about. The main sense I will focus on is the sense of touch and feeling because I was feeling a lot of pain when it happened. I’m not sure what ATL skill I’m going to use yet but I will try to use a few to enhance my writing a lot.
ReplyDeleteSounds great, I can’t wait to hear yours!
DeleteFor my anecdote I finally (pretty late, I might add,) decided to write about a weekend I spent at camp for a retreat in September. It was one of the best weekends I can remember, so my entry is probably gonna be really, really long. I think that the main senses I’ll be focused on are sight and hearing, since while I was over there there were so many awesome conversations, awesome music, and awesome things to see. Also, the majority of figurative language can be very easily used to describe an image or sound, much less so a touch or a scent, at least in my opinion. I hope that I don’t accidentally make run-on sentences that go like three lines before stopping, because if I do it’s gonna take WAY too long to write.
