Pre MA1: Discussion Boards and Journals

Discussion Board 1 and 2

Before the bean had even sprouted. Back when there was only soil and water, there was only a couple discussion boards in the class that I had actually absorbed information from. The first discussion board had discussed things like literacy sponsors and inspirations to star athletes.  

Dicussion Board 2 discussed things like heritage literacy and how language could be learned and passed down from generation to generation. 

These were the first bits of the seed that had started to sprout.

Reading Journal 1 and 2

I regretably did not do reading journal one. However, I did turn in reading journal two. Though I didnt do the best job, I got the gist, and thats whats important. I read about how an amish community had incorperated itself further into society by letting kids go on the bus amd go to school. They would use electronics to learn and would be able to comprehend modern technology.

At this point my bean brain had started being fertalized with knowledge.

My MA1: Literacy Narrative Assignment

The Beanginning of The Beanginning

This is a screenshot of my first essay rough draft revision paper. A rough draft is supposed to outline your essay and help find your major ideas. A revison draft is supposed to build on your draft, and add mild clarity strength, and reasoning to the paper. This was the beginning of the journey. At this point, I was figuratively only a bean sappling. This was my very first revision draft, and I had not done the rough draft. At this point in the class and the only thing I had learned about was Heritage Literacy ans sponsors.

At the time I didnt know how to incorperate any learning outcomes into my paper. In turn I had just come up with a plain old essay.

Plain old essay and Reflection

This was not my best essay. I was rushed and didnt thoroughly read the prompt.  I didnt even apply any of my learning outcomes into my essay, nor did I even try to incorperate any sort of indiduality into it. Nothing made this essay special. It was simply a stepping stone.

 

Overall I feel that I could have done much better. I didnt really try with this essay, I barely read the prompt. However I was only a seedling.

This is my final draft
