Writing Starter 67

I personally did not like the writing starters. I felt like they were busy work, which I hate. I would rather have more assignments and drop the writing starters. I don't like someone telling me what to write about when it's supposed to be "creative." By the end of the semester it just felt like I needed to put words down, and I didn't even put effort into making the writing starters something I'd be proud of. I'd never go back and read them, like I might with a short story or poem or whatever. I liked the dialogue writing starters best because they took the least time and I could make my characters say things like "ok" "cool" to take up lines. I definitely would've preferred the writing starters be optional, or extra credit, or at least scale it down to once a week or so.
