My Reflection

The Writting Process

What was easy for me was learning the format I had to write in for each story. One diffiulty I faced learning how to add quotes into my writting pieces. I overcame this challange by practicing this task throught the course. What suprised me is how well I am doing in this class as I felt I did not have a full understanding of what to do in this course. I enjoyed the fact that our class got the choice to write about stuff we are passionate about. One thing I did not enjoy was uploading the photos for our stories as I faced some technical difficulties with this. I feel that this course could help me as I learned how to review and write editorials properly which can be useful when I study fashion journalist.

Core Competency Reflection

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by thanking them for doing my peer edits. When reviewing my peer edit comments I make sure I understand it throughly and ask my peers if I have any questions about their feedback. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is when my class and I brainstromed together. This really helped spark my creativiy or enhance ideas I already had into better ones. When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I introduce myself and work in a pleasent matter. I make sure that we both understand each other and make both of us feel like we can share our feedback without judgment. I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I take feedback from my teacher and peers. I always take their feedback with respect and consideration of how it could benefit my learning. One goal I have for myself is to be able to manage a healthy work lifestyle balance. I want to work on the Personal Awareness and Responsibility category. I am choosing to imorove on the “When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I…” statment. I am working on this goal as I feel that I tend to get overwhelmed by workloads and deadlines. I will allow myself to take occasional breaks while working when needed and still remain on task after a brain break.
