Final Reflection

Looking back over the course of this semester, this class has been very beneficial to my writing style. I think that it has very much so opened my mind and perspective up to various types of writing and ideas. One thing I was uncomfortable with, at first, was the improv exercises. I've never liked having the attention on me, but I guess once I realized everybody had to do the same thing, it grew on me. After talking to friends, I think we did a lot of different things in our class than others were required to do in their English 1101's, but overall I think that all the writing into the days, improvs, and group projects helped us grow as thinkers, and thus, as writers.

Final Literacy Narrative Reflection

I had a rough time with this literacy narrative. I'm not used to the type of revision we did in this class. Overall though, I am happy with how my final draft turned out. Lacy had said that the papers didn't necessary have to be good but they had to show change. Honestly, I can not be okay with something I did not being good, so hopefully my paper is changed for the the better.

Here is pictures of my revision and the work I did a long side the project.

Other revisions took place in the google docs themselves.

Ethnography Reflection

 
    
     In wasn't hard to figure out what I wanted to show through my blog post. Since our topic was relationships, it was fairly easy to relate. Every time I watch a movie or hear a great song, its more than likely one of the main themes will be associated with love. But how songs and movies portray love is very different from the reality of things some times. Not every relationship is gonna go through a terrible tradegy and fall more madly in love because of it.

Most of the work I had for the project was the set up of scenes and then me just commenting on my research or sharing my thoughts on the topic.

     Revising was not so much changing my work, but adding and subtracting things. Like editing the video consisted of many scenes being cut and then adding others where needed.

     Working in the group with Farrah and Kelsey was very productive. We each had our own ideas and what we wanted our overall project to look like. How we organized the project helped give everyone an equal part and I don't think anyone felt like someone did more than the other. We worked well together.
