Review: Week 11

The post of the Youkai Hunters interested me because it reminds me of one of the first anime I ever watched. It was also one the article that started my Wikipedia trail. Jin's dad joke meme to get me through the week Source

Famous Last Words: Schedules

My reading for this week went well. It was the last of the videos and I am a little disappointed because I kind of like watching the videos better than reading the books because they clarified parts I got confused with in the books. I guess the only writing for this week I did was done while writing my position paper for me History of the Built Environment class. One strategy I found that worked while I was writing my paper was to just start writing and not pay attention to things like word counts or sources and that helped me to spew out my ideas and then I went back organized it and added citations and worried about word counts and such. It helped me to better work through and sort out my thoughts. I saw some really good writings from other students I really like certain storybooks. I really like the storybooks that were written to make a continuous story but took stories from different books and made them work together in a different plotline. My other classes have been going well ...

Wikipedia Trail: From Yokai to Rurouni Kenshin

Yokai I started off with this article because I saw something about Yokai on the class announcements, and it reminded me of one of the first anime's I had ever watched. Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan I found the link to the manga of the above mentioned anime on the Yokai page and went to it. Weekly Shonen Jump This is the magazine that the manga was serialized in and so I decided to go this page to figure out if I knew any other manga's that were also serialized in it. Rurouni Kenshin This is a manga of an anime I have watched before so that's how I ended up here from weekly shonen jump.                     Yokai                                                                     Rurouni Kenshin                 ...

Tech Tip: Canvas Profile

Before I didn't have a canvas profile picture mostly because I didn't want to put my own picture on there. So for this assignment I tried changing it to a meme about my major. Profile Picture Source I chose partly because it was funny, and partly because I just recently went on a field trip with my studio class to Ft. Worth to look at three museums and I spent half my time staring at the walls and half my time staring at the art on the walls.

Growth Mindset: Giving Peer Feedback Helps Writers Grow

Giving Peer Feedback Helps Writers Grow One thing I already knew was that peer feedback helps not only writers but also anyone. One thing new I learned was that when a student works with someone else they are more focused and less likely to rush. One thing I would like to look into more is having a checklist when peer editing projects in my studio class. One way I can start doing this is by putting it into practice in my next class.

The 9 Principles That People Who Feel Successful Say They Live By Something I already knew was the 9 principles that successful people live by.

One thing I would like to look into is developing resilience and one way I could look into it is by reading articles on it. Success Meme Source
