Reflections: Looking Back

Week 8 Reflections

The story I am particularly proud of is the one that I have been working on in my portfolio.  I think it is an interesting story that is also entertaining.  Another one of my favorites is the one about the rider and his horse.  I love reading other people’s stories, too because many times this will spark an idea in my head about something to write.

I have really enjoyed all the stories about mermaids, Alice in Wonderland, and the stories about Adam and Eve.  One that sticks out to me in particular is the story that someone wrote and they combined the story of Adam and Eve and Alice in Wonderland.  I loved that story and it really made me think about combining stories to make one big interesting and intertwined story.

I think this class is perfect for being completely online because we are all interacting completely through the blogs.  We are able to still meet our classmates and really get to know them because of the introductions to our blog pages.  I really enjoy reading those, learning more about the people in my class, and looking at all the pictures they post.

I typically work on this class daily.  I will wake up in the morning and do my daily assignment to get it done for the day.  I work on all my weekend homework on Sunday and block out a time after church to finish those assignments, too.  I have been doing this throughout the year and it seems to work pretty well.  I also try to get ahead but sometimes I can’t and I fall behind a little bit.  I like the grace period because I know that if for some reason I can’t complete the assignment by midnight, I always know I can wake up a little earlier and finish my assignments in the morning.

My favorite place to work on this class is at my house.  I know it’s not the best habit but I love working on homework in my bed.  I can read comfortably and I am not distracted when I’m laying in bed working on this class.  Sometimes I will go to the library when I really need to focus, but for the most part, I am either sitting at my desk in my room or in my bed comfortably reading all the stories.

I have not done any more of the growth mindset or the curation, but I think I am going to start doing more of those in the future weeks.  After reading over some of the growth mindsets for the extra credit comments, I realized that this is a cool thing to thing about and learn from.
