Blog reflection and a Monday pickup!

Today was a busy day in Mr. Reiff's class. We got to discuss a Robert Frost poem, which I found to be really interesting and helpful (call me a nerd but I love poetry!) We also got some feedback on how our journals are going to far. Mr. Reiff gave me some really good insight into what I am doing well and how I can further expand and improve. 

A. One thing that Mr. Reiff suggested was that I continue to incorporate more articles and responses to articles in my blogs. In terms of research I have posted a lot of videos, which he said is good, but he thinks it will benefit me to post/respond to more articles, books, etc about my topic. I think this is the best tip for me to work on because now that my dance is complete, I have the time to research and can find some great information on "what's next?"

B. This week in order to improve my journal I need to focus on three things.

     1. Research and respond to at least one (hopefully 2) articles, books, etc

     2. Reflect how I am feeling about my project up to this point. What has gone the way I expected and what hasn't?

     3. Start researching how to effectively put together an iMovie

C. Three things I need to do before my end of the year presentation (AH!)

    1. Create the iMovie

    2. Finish perfecting my dance and making it performance ready

    3. Learning some tips for public speaking.. something I am TERRIFIED of!

D. What is the biggest different between my journal and the one that I reviewed? I think the biggest difference is that I include a lot more visuals. Miriam concentrated mostly on articles and interview, while I have used more pictures and videos. I am not sure which is better, they are just different. I do however plan on adding more research like Miriam's to my blog ASAP!

So it is the first Monday back from break and if you are anything like me you could use a little humor. In my many hours on YouTube I have watched a bunch of videos of these two little girls and they just crack me up every time! I hope this makes you smile like it did for me! Happy Monday everyone!   PINK! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_cbvBLQ_4Y
