Rough Draft Celebration Writing

Writer’s Celebration
(Rough Draft)

Each year Eastern Michigan University holds an annual Celebration of Students Writing, and this year is no different. The celebration is a requirement for those when taking English 121classes. It’s a way for students to explore others other pieces of writing and see what other classes has came up with.
This year the Celebration of Students Writing was held in the Student Center Ballroom. It took place for everyone at 4:00 and was held until 5:30.
Students who are taking English 121 joined together as a class and work on a piece of writing that they’ve researched throughout most of the semester. When the project is done, students then display their work to faculty members, family and friends. “I invited my older sister who two years ago had the same class as myself just to see my work”, said freshman Shay Washington.
Each class has a booth so when others come by and visit they can explain what they’ve done and why. There’s a variety of different topics, idea’s and games students come up with. Some classes do something like a game so that there peer’s can interact in there project. Others may do something like trivia questions or facts about a certain topic that most may pay no attention to. One booth was set up telling real and factual facts about having nose surgery and what’s being used in one’s nose. On the table there was an operation game and a big nose displayed made out of play do. Basically giving facts about what’s surgeons really use when changing one nose job.
The Celebration of Writing is a way for students to be creative, to have fun when giving facts about the world around us. Students take pride in what they’ve decided to do and each year there’s something different.
Not only is the Celebration of Students Writing free but because it’s crammed pack with students in all English 121 classes’ drinks, food and candy are complimentary as you walk from booth to booth.
