1st Semester Reflection

I’d have to say that 1st semester in Wasserman’s class went quite well. I personally got some good stuff out of the class and I’m sure that that will continue into the second half of the year as well. I liked some of the novel discussions we had about A Lesson Before Dying and appreciated  the moderation in assigned writing and essays.

I think that blogging is a great idea, but I feel like giving specific “Blogging Groups” didn’t really work out so well during the racism and satire unit. If you’re paired with people who don’t blog on a regular basis, it’s kind of difficult to get your portion of the work done. I remember my teachers in seventh grade had us read a book and gave every person one response buddy to write back and forth with. It was a lot easier to share ideas between two people than trying to communicate between a larger group. It’s just an idea, but I think it could really enhance our blogging experience.
