Reflective Learning Blog
In first grade on Monday's and Wednesday's my class would have art class. The teacher would give us the idea or theme of our art project and then set us loose to do make whatever was in our minds come alive as long as they fit the bones that she had provided us as I would be sitting down in class trying to come up with my own original ideas I would glance around at my classmates ideas and come to the conclusion that I liked their ideas better and try to copy them. No one likes a copy cat and in the real world it is illegal to copy someones work without giving credit where credit is due. But the whole purpose of this blog isn't about copying but about the difficulty of coming up with an original idea. In other classes I have been asked to write essays but never have I been asked to think deeply about the essay topic that I was writing about. In my eleventh grade English class we read The Lord of the Flies By William Golding while reading it we were never given the opportunity to find our own symbolism in it our teacher simply said piggy is the brains and Simon symbolizes god and so on. I find that the best way for me to be successful in writing is for me to really analyze the texts I am reading and pour my brain onto the paper rather than pulling together an essay on midnight the night before its due just to meet a deadline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEusrD8g-dM
