While I was listening to the podcasts “An Equation for Good” and “Secrets of Success”, I took notes on all the questions that were asked throughout the podcast. The speaker would ask many main questions and add little question off of it in order to find an answer. When you are trying to find answer to something you ask the big question and then smaller ones. One example would be “what restaurant do you want to go to?” that would be the big question and the little ones would be “what kind of food do you want?” or “what kind of atmosphere?”. In order for a human to answer one questions, they need some supporting information and to get that they may ask you more questions. In the podcast “An Equation for Good”, they ask the big question “how can we explain why people go out of their way to help a stranger?” and in “Secrets of Success”, they ask the question “is there a secret to success?”. Both of these questions are open-ended questions. An open-ended question cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”. These questions require more thought. In these podcasts, I thought listened to how many open-ended questions they asked. They would ask one big open-ended questions and add little ones off of it. When it comes to open-ended questions, you could never stop talking. If you were in a group of people and no one was talking, say an open-ended question like “How do I go about with purchasing a home?”. People will put their own input in and they also many ask other smaller questions like “where are you looking for a home?”, “what kind of home?” or “Who is you real-estate agent?”. Each of these questions bring back to the main question. They each have a purpose in finding their wat back to the main topic. I NEED HELP ON THIS….

Positive feedback:

 

Writing process- When It came down to writing, I had many positive feedbacks. I was able to think of ideas and put them down on the page.  When my partner gave me feedback on my writing I then went beyond and improved my writing in other ways. Throughout my essay, I revised it to support, aim, develop, and elaborate on new ideas. I connected new ideas using complete sentence structures.

 

Integrating ideas and academic conversions-was able to use signal words what were found in the book they say/ I say chapter 3. When introducing a quote, I used voice markers to tell what person was talking. I was also able to embed words from other into my sentences.

 

Reading Process- I was able to improve my writing understanding of the writing description. I made many connections between the text and self, world and other texts.

 

Engagement- I am just beginning of changing my old process of writing and embrace new ones. In class, I have been prepared, actively engaged and accepting feedback from others. When it comes to in class and homework, I have been a productive learner. I was worked side-by-side with my classmates in order to solve a problem or ask questions when I need them. I help provide my classmates with constructive feedback on their writing.

 

Constructive critical feedback:

 

Writing process- I need to work on using my revisions as an essential part of my writing. I have not been able to add complex and game-changing ideas. I need to use voice-clusters and clarity to my sentences. I really need to work on is my grammar corrections and make sure that the text meets the formation.

 

Integrating ideas and academic conversions- I need to use my margin comments to edit my writing and make it stronger. I have a lack of context introductions in my paragraphs. I need to work on borrow sentences and apply them to my writing to make them stronger and reflect on them. I need to cite my sources at the end of my writing.

 

Reading Process- I need to use some examples on the paper to advance my writing. When underlining in the book, I need to make correlations, ask questions and explain in the margin.

 

Engagement- I need to use each activity as an important part of my learning. When in class, I need to be a class leader.

 

 

How am I going to get better:

I am planning on making three annotations on every page of my reading starting with annotation fundamentals working my way to advanced annotation, that can be found on my reading process rubric. When writing informal papers, I will read my writing process rubric and use one example from each of the writing stages. For every quote that I use on a paper, ask myself if it connects to the topic of the writing and how. For two or three quotes per page, use two different ways to use a quote (spotlight, explain, translate, analyze, interpret, apply, build on, question, complicate, criticize, and/or reject) that is found In my integrating ideas and academic conventions rubric.

How am I going to get better:

With the help of these papers and my past writing, I will use these as a key when writing new papers. I will see what I need to do more of, how to advance my writing and what I did well on to continue that.

Guest Speaker Reflection

 

Today, September 10, 2018, a guest speaker came into our class. Our guest speaker was Wes, a sophomore study in exercise science. He talked about how this class may be hard at first but after a while and listening to the professors comment you can grow as a student. He said that we do get a lot of homework but in the end it is rewarding. One thing that I will take to heart is that, if you try your hardest in the class and succeed. He also made a comment about how if you need help to just email my professor or ask him for help. I will use this to the best of my capability. One thing he said that surprised me was that he did not do many of the assignment and still passed the class. I will not listen to this but I was however surprised. When you enter college, you look up to the upperclassman for advice because college is very different than high school.  The transition from highschool to college for me has been very difficult. In highschool, I did not have any homework and now in college I have a lot of homework each night. I am going to listen to Wes’s advice to be able to succeed in English 122.
