Reflection

In College Writing II, I believe that I did most or almost all of the work. I started off very strong and did all of my work. I would always post on my blog and would always read my peers blogs and respond to theirs as well. I noticed that with this last assignment however, I did not do much on the blog, and only posted once or twice about this paper. During this last assignment multiple things have been going on in my life effecting me rather in a negative way and I was honestly distracted from reflecting onto my blog and sharing my ideas and thoughts about it at the time. Other than that, I did all the work I had to and did multiple drafts for each assignment and had always posted on my blog about them and shared my ideas and thoughts about each assignment. I also tried to participate more and had shared my advertisement to the class when no one else would volunteer. Honestly, I never really participate but in this class I felt rather comfortable to put forth my opinion on that specific ad. I also participated in peer reviews and liked helping out others and having others help me out. I think this really did help out and it helped even more that everyone did do a peer review and was reliable to help you out. I did try my best on all of my assignments and I noticed that I had wrote a lot about ideas that had actually connected to me or had my interest. I had taken the semester off in the fall and when I came into this class I was motivated to do my best on every assignment and to do well in this class. Like I said before, I started off very strong and towards the end I noticed I was slacking a little. I did still try to do my best, but I know I could have done better and this last assignment. I know my head was not really focused these past three weeks due to other things appearing in my life, however I need to learn to still do my best in class no matter what is going on. For the future I learned that I should try my hardest no matter what and always do all of my work. I need to improve on my motivation towards the end of the semester and really need to stay focused throughout the entire class length and the entire semester. Another thing I need to improve on is maybe more participation. I am very shy and worry what others will think of my answers or my opinions, however this class made me feel more comfortable and I need to feel that way no matter what class I am in. Overall, I think I tried my best most of the time in this class and I did all of my work and turned everything in on time. I learned a lot from this class and will take what I have learned into my future classes.

New Assignment

So far with this assignment I have found all of my sources and have written a summary for each source. I also have done the introduction and conclusion. I am still working on putting all of them together and will be done with that soon. I did have difficulty starting this paper, however when I started to find sources and took time with it, the wheels started turning. I think the information I have found made me get more into this topic. Seeing the other kinds of advertisements PETA has done has thrown me more off than the one particular ad I had presented in class. Not all of their ads are negative, but the ones that are took it to the next level. They have compared animals being treated bad to the Holocaust and that right there says that they did something wrong. I am still putting touches in my paper and will post my draft tomorrow or Thursday.
