"Mere distractions" as educational tools: An introduction to our workshop.

If you're like me, you have trouble concentrating at school whenever the day's lesson is boring. You'd much rather go to the movies, go home and play music and video games all day. If you're like me, you've had your parents and teachers give you flack for spending so much time on "mere distractions" and not enough time studying.

What if I told you that you could use your "mere distractions" in order to do better in school?

That's exactly what we set out to do in our workshop. With each blog post, we will discuss topics you would see on an everyday English class, such as elements of literature and writing techniques, and use our "mere distractions" as our primary educational resource. Whether applying literary analysis on the hottest new movies or writing up a list about your favorite video games, our goal is to develop crucial analytic and creative skills needed to succeed in school, college and life.

So I invite you to join us in our quest to have fun, practice, and most of all, learn.

Cheers.
