Interpretive Essay Writing Technique

This week we began exploring techniques to help us complete our next essay, the interpretive essay.  The first technique that we explored was Giving Movies of your Mind as we read.  This was a technique that I had never really done before, except not in this kind of detail.  It was nice to stop in between certain sections of the poems and story about the elephant to gather my thoughts and perceive what I was thinking about.  I like it a lot better than reading a whole passage and having to explain it, because you sometimes forget important details.  When I was creating my movies different things always came to mind and I never ran out of things to say.  I look forward to exploring other techniques to help me improve my writing skills for this up and coming essay.
