Writing Samples



Nekeisha Rivera was asked to write freely about friends, family or school. She choose to write about her family, for example where they are from and languages they use. I'm sure this was influenced by the fact we had just finished our interview and went over the questions and answers. I'm glad she felt comfortable to express to me her background and family life. Nekeisha's writing is very easy comprehensible though her spelling is off and puncuation is off as well you can still understand the main idea of her writing. she does use slang as in brotha for brother. several words were mispelled including dise for does, boston as bostin. She didn't know how to spell Puerto Rico so she wrote PR. It was intresting that she used whens for ones. She definately uses the phonetic spelling of the words. She hears what she wants to say in her head and it comes out exactly like that in her writing.
