{Free-Write #5} Final Project Thoughts-Digging Deep to Express

My syllabi will allow my students to reflect on what they have learned in the course and use the writing process to create a memoir.  We all have a story to tell and I have found that writing serves as a sense of rehabilitation for the heart.  Here is a sample video of how to find and conquer your feelings while writing.


{Free-Write #4} Final Project Thoughts

My final lproject will be based off of Lindemann's idea of how college composition should be taught.  I have had the opportunity to read articles from well-known literary writers.  I agree with some and others were questionable.  My syllabus will reflect reading and writing.  My belief is that reading assists in becoming a better writer.  The course will be both visual and auditorically based.  I need to ensure that my students are well versed by the end of the course.  I am so excited about completing this challenge, thanks to Erika Lindemann.

[Free-Write #3] Final Project Thoughts

Trying to figure out which application I was going to use took ksome time.  I wanted to use an application that would allow me to hyperlink, use text, and use images that are easy to access.  I was so excited about completing the task, not really realizing how much work it all entailed.  It took me three weeks to develop a syllabi, but I wanted to challeng myself.  I know that my future goal is to become a college professor.  I could have taken a 6th grade lesson plan and revampt it to flow for the assignment, but I think that would have been to easy.  PowerPoint Presentations are fun, easy, and accessible.  I will be using the application to display my work and showing my creativity.

Presentation Reflection

I was so excited to present on plagarism.  I enjoyed working with my group and learning more about the different elements of using technology properly and legally.  The group discussion was good and very memorable.  I feel that I could change the flow of the presentation just a little.  I would have liked for each of the presenters to give feedback off of each others presntation and maybe explain some of the elements that we discussed during lour prep sessions.  I guess that is one struggle that come about when completing group asssignments.  I loved the dynamics that each of us took as an approach.  I really enjoyed the chapters. I feel that our presenattion was engaging and interesting.
