Weekly Reflection #1

Alright, so apparently we are suppose to do a post every week about what we have learned or done in class. Well, overall this week has been pretty slow, not just in this class. But I'll post something anyway.

In class this week, we started to sign up for assignments. The first one is about literary criticism. The class had to choose a type of literary criticism and explain why it was the best type of criticism. Within this we have to compose a lesson plan. Which is essentially a play-by-play of what we are planning to teach the class and the methods we are using to do so. Kia and I chose to do New Criticism.

So far I have read about New Criticism's sociological relevance in society, as well as Structuralism and New Criticism. I have no idea how useful or relevant this is to our assignment, but I'll manage to understand all this gibberish sooner or later.

In addition, we also had to sign up for poetry. I haven't really gotten around to doing so. Due to the difficulties I've been having with Wikispaces and creating my account. I love poetry in general, so I can take whatever is given to me.

On a random note, I finally got all my courses fixed. So now I get the privilege of taking Lit Studies as well as Challenge and Change, without having to drop or mess up my timetable. So therefore, I have a total of eight 4U credits. So I can say goodbye on that nasty Chem mark from last year and hello to potentially better marks.

So I guess that's it for this week.

Until next time, Shannon.
