I feel like my MRP is coming along, slowly but surely. Now that I go on my web blog and see all of the things I have done I am kind of excited just to get it all finished so I can see the finished project. This week the first genre I submitted was the poem. I chose to do the 5W poem and it is based on the 5W questions like who, what, where, when, and why. I thought this was a neat way to write a poem because you have to think about your topic in a different perspective to complete this poem.
I enjoyed the time on Wednesday we had to complete some assignments. I did some of my work on notebook paper first so I could let it absorb for a few days and then I posted it on Sunday. This method seemed to work well for me because I could look over my work for a second time and get new ideas or just make last minute changes.
I’m really excited about the power point presentation it seems to be fun and colorful. So far I have just planned to incorporate my focus questions in the presentation by making editing them in the header of the slide and post a brief response to each one in the body of the slide. I also formed a word web to show how some terms are related.
The prompt for the 3r’s of Inquiry required me to think the most in this weeks assignments. I wanted to ask a good question so I could incorporate many of my thoughts about the article into it. This assignment brought to my attention how difficult developing a prompt for me to answer could be. I found myself skimming through the paragraphs asking myself, “what could I ask?” Finally, I took the article’s advice and tried not to “answer the question” but instead ask a question I thought would be interesting.
Last but not least I am glad we are doing the peer reviews because I think everyone’s work can always be better, especially mine. I also like to hear input from others that are working on the same project as me.
