Reflections: Looking Forward

The Original 1939 Keep Calm and Carry On poster

Going forward, I would like to start incorporating different styles of that I’ve seen from some of my classmates in my own writing.  I also really want to start considering the comments that I’ve gotten on my weekly stories when writing the stories for my Storybook.  On that same note, I’m looking forward to the comments that I’ll get on the project.  The Storybook overall is by far my favorite assignment in the class.  In regards to the readings, I’m excited about the types of reading units that are coming up.  I have a feeling that my schedule will only get more hectic as the semester goes on, however I am up for the challenge.  

Reflection: Looking Back

Over the past few weeks I’ve learned a lot.  I’ve really enjoyed the story writing portion of the class.  With that in mind, it’s no surprise that I’ve enjoyed working on my project so much.  I chose to do a Storybook, which has been a lot of fun and very educational.  I got a little stuck writing the first story for the Storybook (not the introduction), but I pushed through it and am pretty happy with how it turned out.  Looking at other people’s Storybooks has been really helpful.  Seeing how they have created their projects pushes me to do better.  As to a schedule, I don’t really have one for this class.  That may sound silly, but I’ve got a lot going on this semester and chose an online class in the hopes that I could offset that a bit.  I do a lot of work for this class either while I’m at work or late at night.  I try to make myself do at least one part of the homework a day, minus weekends.  Overall, I feel like I’ve been keeping up pretty easily.  I’m glad that I started early and got ahead, though.  That has definitely helped.
