I chose my style because I have Irish roots and I wanted to make music to celebrate that. I learned that in Irish music that measures repeat like 4 times. I also learned that the 2 main notes in the style are G and D. And the most common instruments used in Irish folk music are the Fiddle,Tin whistle, Flute, and Uilleann pipes

My arabian nights story
I feel proud of my Arabian Night’s piece because it actully sounds like something I would read in the book.
I think that revision is changing the story not only grammar. It might be to make it more intresting it might be the piece has no story arch. It could be changing a whole paragraph or more. Revising is making a piece better. I think that revision could change your whole piece. And it has nothing to do with grammar! It just makes it more interesting.

Writing Reflection
I am proud of my creative writing piece. I thought that it was an example of my best work. I worked very hard on it. I found it to be difficult to find out what you wanted to happen next because it might not make sense. I learned to write a story with more action. So it wasn’t just like a regular persons life or someone’s life who is not regular but there is no action. I think to stay at this level of work I should spend a lot of time and make sure it is 4 worthy. I found describing all the action was difficult because there was a lot going on. I learned that if you add a little bit of action. And I think I can improve on being more descriptive in my action and working on my editing skills.
