Final Reflection for 1101

Lacy's class was actually a good experience for me. I liked the fact that it was a small classroom and not a big lecture hall classroom. I liked how we did a ice breaker activity every morning. This always helped wake me up every morning.

There were some "wobble" moments though that i have had in this class. By wobble i mean moments where i wasnt exactly sure if i was doing the right thing or if i would pass the class with an A grade. The first moment was when i didnt sign up to be notetaker on time. I was thinking this would really affect my grade since i didnt get my points but i figured out it was only a minor assigment and it wasnt even a big deal. I also forgot to comment blog posts sometimes or even do my blog post. The literecy narrative stressed me out a lot because i never knew what to do and how to make it better. Lucky for me Lacy emailed me back and told me all the changes to do. I honestly thnk this class wasnt that bad. I did enjoy it and i had a good time. I do think this blog was a cool thing i started and i might even end up continuing it even though the class is over.

Ethnography Project

This whole project started when i was assigned a group with DeShawn, Randy, and Drew. I think we all got along really well to start of with. The topic we had was food.

We decided we should have a couple questions we wanted to ask. Whey people eat certain things, when do they eat and why, and the last question was where they prefer to eat and why?

Each member of the group interviewed someone. To me in seemed like most people liked the food of the place where they are from. For example in drews interview his friend liked southern food because he was from the south and the person i interviewed was indian and he liked indian food.

Anyways overall i really did enjoy doing this project. It made me realize a lot of things as well as notice a lot of things that were probably obvious but i just never noticed them. I really liked my group because everyone did they were supposed to do and at the end we got a really good video. I think everyone also did work hard on the video. We met up a couple times in the library and went to crown together to eat which also helped us out for our project.

Even thought our topic was a little bit unusual from the other topics in the class i think we did a good job of relating what we eat to the literacy underlie. It wasn't easy and it did take a while but we got it done.

Here is our final video that we finished with:
