Learning Blog #3

I'm scared about where I am in this class. After see my midterm grade I know that I in trouble with a lot of things, but more importantly I scared about my academic probation. Now that we have started Unit 2 I'm start to many different type of genres. Like I never thought that Facebook status or text message were type of genre in English. I'm nervous about the project because I don't want my poor performance as a writer to hurt my grade but with this group project it also gives me the boost to become a better to help with the work load. I'm hoping that I can found more ways to use my creativeness because I'm not like most people I can't write an academic paper perfectly but I feel that can write stories. I still not sure about what going in this halfway blogs. I can't wait to officially start this project because taking the genre of To Do List and put it on flyer with pull off tabs in public places I feel is a proper way to break the standard English that we have grown up with. The research part of this project might be a little hard and creepy because we kind of have to sit and watch people look at the flyer and see how they react to it. On Friday I hope that we get all of these problem that I have been thinking about get answer or we find a way to fix them. For example, the flyer I made has everything that we talk about on Wednesday but, I feel that it is still too blank and need something special to make it stand out from the other fliers in the building that we pick to do our research in.

  1. I hope that our discussion after class on Monday helped to clear up some of these fears for you. Ultimately, you should understand that effort, how hard you try, counts for more than the actual performance. I am asking you to do things and write in certain ways that you have never done before. I don't always succeed when writing in new genres--and I think of myself to be a pretty good writer.
