For this project, I ended up making a zine. I was originally going to make a movie trailer, but I have no video editing skills whatsoever, so it was a bit difficult to start.

This was a really fun project, though, and I’m glad I got to try something different. I enjoyed mentally channeling my middle school self to make this art project!!

I haven't had a ton of success with students replying to me or sending me their work. Although this is a little frustrating because it will help me once I become a teacher, I completely understand. It's an extra task for these students, and I remember what it was like being in high school. I probably wouldn't have sent something I wrote to a college student either. I think it's important to be understanding, above all else. I think that, going back to an older reading, they need to understand that it's perfectly okay to not have something written perfectly at first. Bad writing only paves the way for improvement! I think that the stress of writing "badly"...
