Group #2 Blog

As I mentioned in my previous blog, I have been working on a group project. Since last week our group has been working hard on it. We are still in the planning process, and things are coming along. We plan on shooting the video on the tenth of November. We are writing our script and it will be word for word. We are having every little detail included. Some of my group members have said they know how to use movie maker, so on that part I am relying on them, although I am willing to learn. Our project is time consuming but we are willing to put the time into it. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Group Projects

In my English 103 class we got assigned a group project. The project has to be either a short video or a website. The topic was left somewhat vague as long as it had something to do with technology. So far my group has had trouble with attendance. One day one member will be gone and the next a different one will be gone. So it was kinda hard to pick a topic. Since it was a group project I feel everyone should be equally involved. But we have picked our topic and I am very excited about it. Hopefully now we can all be in attendance to class and have a great project.

Creativity

I love being creative! I like to be able to use my imagination to form new and ideas and projects. They are original, they are mine. Anyone can be creative, you can express yourself in general or how you feel. I like using graphs or some kind of table or diagram. It really enhances your writing. It emphasizes whatever you are writing, and it brings color to the page. It explains things, and best of all it gives the results! Some people might be confused on the data, but if they can visually see it, it becomes much more clear. There are so many different variations of graphs that are available. It is up to you which one you like or which one you think fits the best. It's all about you being creative, and expressing your own thoughts and ideas!

How do I start this paper?

For many of us starting a paper or any writing can be difficult. It might be the hardest part of the whole writing. We know what we want to say, we have the ideas and thoughts we want to share. There are many ways to start a writing. It is difficult for me to choose because I know someone else will be critiquing it. I never know what they like, I have found some to be biased. For example, one of my high school teachers would never let me open a writing with a question.While I found other teachers I had liked a question for the opening. I feel you should be able to start your writing however you wish as long as it sounds good and flows nicely. So go ahead start with the question, start with the quotation, start with the background information!

Comparing and Contrasting... We do it more than you think!

We compare and contrast things on a daily basis, but do you realize we are really doing it? When we are standing in the supermarket trying to pick between two items we don't think let me compare and contrast between these two. For example we automatically look at the calories, protein, or even the price to see which one is the best fit. Or when we are waiting for the big game to start and the announcers are talking about the two teams. They are clearly comparing and contrasting the two. They are pointing out there negatives and positives. The only time I really think about comparing and contrasting two things is when I have to for a paper, or when it is an assignment. Truth is we all do it everyday.
