When i finally got to doing it i thought i approached it good, i conducted my essay with answering the questiong and then connecting it with 2 of the texts that we have read which was "Robbie" and "The Nest" that i felt connected quote. Then also my views. And it was also hard writing 2 whole pages because you had to explain but not over explain the question. so in a way it was hard to stretch out what i was trying to explain. I think i could improve by reading all the story's over again to get a better understanding and to see if another part of the story was better.

For the making connections assignment I took a different approach then I did for the minor assignments. I did this by doing more research for it, by re-reading the texts that we did in class, and by using the Internet to find a quote to write about. I found it a bit difficult to make connections to the texts but I could relate to it personally, and knew of some people that had relationship experiences that related to the quote. I never had any real problems writing two pages, I overcame it by re-wording my sentences making some of them a bit longer, and adding more detail. The only thing I would change is the amount of time I had to work on it, but I had a few other assignments I needed to get finished for this class and for math. But in the end I found the critical response assignment more difficult.

For our first major assignment, "Making Connections", I didn't really approach or treat it differently. However, I would probably budget my time more effectively in the future. The layout was a little more involved and I had to write an extra page or two. Other than that, I didn't find it much more arduous. As for time, I made the mistake of putting so much effort into the minor assignments, by the time the major assignment was due I was behind and offered less detail. So, budgeting my time and knowing where to put my focus is also something that I can improve on.

First I looked for some other quotes that stood out to me and that I would be able to write about and relate to. I sat down to do it at the times that my children were asleep so that I would be able to fully concentrate and be able to think about the topic a lot clearer. I watched the video “How will we love” and re read a lot of our short stories to refresh them in my mind so that I would have a better idea of the other information I could use for my assignment as well. I took this assignment a lot more seriously then my other assignments because of course it is a bigger percentage of my grade than minor assignments but that being said I make sure that I do my best work that it up to my fullest potential on every assignment. Writing is something that I love so it is very easy for me to get lost in my writing and write out a few pages easily. I feel very good about the work that I put into this assignment because I tried very hard and spent a lot of time on it. I am not sure if there is anything else that I would change on my assignment.

Marlon C -- Major assignment

Article posted April 24, 2012 at 04:48 AM GMT • comment (1) • Reads 255

For this assignment I had to take more time and effort than for the other ones.I searched the internet for a quote and found it easily. At first I thought writing two pages was too much but when read the texts again I was able to make a connection to the quote. The editing was new for me because I didn't know what a header, footer or a works cited page was. So I had to find out about these things. I was getting headaches from so much thinking about the assigment. I hope I did a good job. We will see.

Well, at first when i got the major assignment I was very intimidated . I wasnt really sure how to go about writing it but once i got the hang of it ,it was so easy for me i just started to write down a few things ,next thing i know I was done! I feel like this was the best assignment I've done so far in this class. The one thing i would like to improve on would be expanding my vocabulary, so i can fully explain my thoughts.

Daniel E -- Major assignment

Article posted April 12, 2012 at 02:25 PM GMT • comment • Reads 206

On this major assignment I made a 2 page rough draft but when I typed it up it only came out to 1 page so I went and did some research on the 2 storys that I picked and that helped me out a little bit. I dont feel to bad about my completed assignment but I feel like I could of done better before rushing to hand it in. If there was 1 thing on my assignment I could improve I would probably redo my rough draft because most of the work I did on the computer, and didn't really work on my rough draft. My rough draft was only 2 pages but on the computer it came to 1 page so the whole extra page that I did on the computer wasn't on my rough draft. How I treated this assignment diffrently is I did a full rough draft first and corrected all my mistakes then I wrote it on the computer and Word pretty much fixed all the errors I had.

On the assignment that i just finished i feel that i could of keep writing about it. i had way to much on paper and i had to cut it ''down'' big time.when it comes to the world and the people in it , there just so much to talk about.I dint feel that i treat my assignments different from the others. the quote I used made me write down to much information that i felt I was just writing my thoughts and not doing my homework .what i wish that I could change is how i can keep the people who read it interested long enough to finish.How does Carlos Castaneda do it?

Well, major assignment has higher expectation than the minor assignment that we did before. I had to write two full pages, and I had to make a connection with two topics that we did in the class and one outside of the class. I am really glad that I had enough time to correct my mistakes and did my best. The thing that I would like to improve is “extend to a broader context”. That will help me to write more pages and make my opinion fully explanation.

At first when I read the criteria of the major assignment, it looked a little harder than the minor assignments that we did before. The minor assignments to me were easier , but with the major assignment I took it very seriously.  That is why I had made a plan sheet for my assignment, like when to work on it. Before I had started my major assignment, we had some time to discuss the major assignment in the class, that was very helpful for me.+First I started by picking a quote from the sheet of quotes that Judy gave us in class, then I re-read the story we had read in the class. After that I watched the video "How will we Love" again, I found a couple of connections between the quote I chose, the video I watched and the story we had read in the class. Then I started writing my rough copy. During all of this work, I had a few difficulties, but the good thing was that Judy gave us more time to work on it and finish.  At the end, I was very happy and impressed with my major assignment. Something that I want to improve on is my grammer and spelling.

Chris L -- Connections: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Article posted April 15, 2012 at 01:37 PM GMT • comment • Reads 190

Wow, I'm sure glad that is over! I mean that in a great way by the way. I must have reworked this article at least a dozen times. Every time though I found a new flow to the way the reader might respond. I really think that I need to work on writing as I feel there is a great book in myself that needs to be told. This was a fantastic start.
I know that I learned the hardest part to writing is the editing and revisions. I never really paid attention to the many different ways to say something, but now know to be aware. Overall I think that I did a mediocre assignment but vow to get better. I really think that I need to learn how to make a proper conclusion and with practice I am sure to achieve this.Looking forward to learning all about Media as this plays such a huge part in building the personalities of each and every one of us.

This is my firts major assignment in this class, for me it's was not easy because my writing it is not good, but i love doing assignments and research for my homeworks, if I have some questions than answers my husband and my older son helps me with my spelling and grammar and I think I do very well with my major assinment.How I treat this major differently than the minor assingment ? my personal opinion with more careful and more attention, that why I work hard with my spelling and grammar, and to made my work assignment easy to understand.Minor assignment are less complicated that the major but I think both are very important and I do my best to finish them.I don't have any problem writing two or more pages my problem is the grammar and spelling but with the help of spelling check I made my work a little bit easy. I think I do well whit my assignment. If I can do some improves? will be my writing and spelling will it be more easy and faster to do it.

We just finished our first major assignment and it's a bit of a change from the minor ones we've done in past classes. I had a bit of difficulty starting the assignment, but once i wrote a few things down it was easier. I feel good that i have completed the assignment itself but a little nervous on how i actually did. If i could improve anything, i would like to improve being able to make connections in between articles, stories.

I think making connections was a good one for the first assignment. As we can all relate whether we are in a marriage or have family and friends that are in a serious relationship. It was a hard assignment for me as we had to respond to the movie and on people comments on documentary. I worked really hard on this assignment and I’m sure it will make me better for the other ones to come.

I was happy with the result but I need to improve on my grammar.

Angelika S -- Our Very First Major Assignment!

Article posted April 22, 2012 at 07:45 PM GMT • comment • Reads 174

For the major assignment I read over the stories a few times and my notes. I added more details to each story in the assignment and it gave me about two pages! I also spent more time on it. I feel good about it, but I wish I could’ve written more. I could do research online next time to find out about other words I can use or how to word things.
