After the first week of this class i felt accomplished. I was excited to meet all the people that wrote the short stories from the first week at the face to face class. When i walked in i did not know what to expect. The teacher walks in with some candy and i thought to myself that this was going to be a good day. Since i was new in class i had to introduce myself and a something no one else has done. I chose beat boxing because it was one of my favorite hobbies, definitely started off with a bang in that class ha.Not really familiar with the way the syllabus works I definitely failed the first face to face class because i didn't think we needed to do anything for that day and i was completely unprepared. We needed to read a bunch and i didn't read a bit. When we split up to form groups i couldn't contribute at all and i felt like shit. I told myself that will never happen again. After the group work i left the class dissapointed in myself. Wednesday came a long and intro to literature is my only class on Wednesday so it was always easy to just sign on and see what i had to do. When i signed in i was blasted with all the things we had to do. I first took the time to learn about characterization and it was different listening to the teacher through the computer instead of in person its nice because you can always replay it or go back to something if you miss it. The best part about this week was definitely the "How to tell a true war story." I really enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. The story gave me more perspective on life. The story took a while to learn but it was interesting all the time. The assignment was to make a wordle about the story. This was the first time i was introduced to wordles. It was fun and it gave you new ideas once you put in all the words and create it. I had fun making it and i really like the fact that people can comment and you can see others as well. It was always fun to read other peoples work. I learn a lot this week especially about wordles and i will definitely use them out of class in the future.
