First Quarter Reflection; Fall, 2010

The first quarter was full of new & exciting but also difficult things. I made a lot of new friends, learned how to write using the 6 traits of writing and to show not tell what I am trying to say as i write. I learned how to use creativity, time management, and become more computer literate. I realized now how much harder it is to get work done on time, especially when doing a video or project, etc. Working together with other students has not been a problem for me. We all get along just well. It's best that when accomplishing work, I do it all at one time. It makes it easier to get things done more efficiently and help to not procrastinate. There is actually nothing I would really change about Language-Arts. Although the only difficulties I did have during the first quarter, here in MeneMAC, was using photoshop because it got confusing for me with all the layers and different tools. I had a hard time with first project, but now, I am able to manage. Also editing when doing videos, they frustrate you whenever it gets to the parts where your trying to match different your audio & video together, & when your trying to cut out pieces & you get confused on which video belongs. I guess practice will make perfect later on as I continue to make other videos. My overall MeneMAC experience has been all that I ever hoped of and more. I couldn't of imagined a better way to experience it. My goals and hopes for this quarter is to get better at making good movies, getting more good at photoshop, and also working time management.

Outside Reading Card



Self Assesment: I succeeded in showing the conflict, resolution, and a quote of the story. I did a good job making my conflict and resolution descriptive and easy to relate to and my quote corresponded to the conflict and resolution I wrote quite well. My card is well organize, full of originality, simply creative, and  I accomplished making a design that flowed through the theme of the story. Although, I feel that I could have defined the text a little more to let it stand out from the background & make it easier to read. In all, I am absolutely satisfied in the work I produced. I believe I deserve a 3 for this project. :)
