Tasks for Journal 8:
Tasks for Literacy Narrative Assignment:
Why was this assignment significant to you as a writer?
I was proud of the end product (at the time) and received a good grade.
I wrote about something so personal, and I told a story about my own mental health struggles, something I am so passionate about.
It allowed me to delve into my emotions and was therapeutic to write it in such a descriptive way.
What was this significant writing assignment about?
It describes the events that took place leading up to my major depressive episode, and why I was so sad
How and when I was first diagnosed and treated for depression.
Details of how I struggled mentally, every day, and going to therapy sessions.
How I got a 504 in place to help me with school,
and how I overcame my depression, and how I cope now.
What challenges did you face/overcome with this assignment?
I look at it now and realize I could rewrite it better, in better detail and make it flow a bit better.
time restrictions, due dates (something I still have difficulty with)
The nature of the assignment was to be as descriptive as possible, and retrospectively, I think describing emotions is more difficult than describing physical things, because most people find it hard to interpret and then articulate their feelings.
