Read-Write-Think?

This weeks assignment....(dun dun dun)... Visit a website (Read-Write-Think) participate in some of the activities and Blog about the experience. Which is what I will attempt to do now.

The activities I participated in and I have decided to blog about are the acrostic poems activity and the book cover creator activity. I initially choose these two because the summary of what they were on the initial link page was simple and would not take me allot of time to do. I was right but only in the case of the Book Cover Creator activity. The Acrostic Poem activity proved to be a tad bit harder. It didn't help that I chose a word that wasn't simple though. I choose my blog name Amachi.

(Forgive me I didn't even explain what an acrostic poem is. Plainly put its a poem that
"uses the letters in a topic word to begin each line. All lines of the poem should relate to or describe the topic word." The example given was for the word "sun" Shines brightly/Up in the sky/Nice and warm on my skin)

So I decided to try my blog name, as previously mentioned. Here was the result:
A chance
M ade in the likeness of god
A mazing gift of love
C hild with abilities beyond man
H eld in the hearts of all
I ntelligent beyond its years

Horrible poem I know... (chuckle). But I had better success on my book cover assignment. It was simple. So simple a preschooler could do it. Very Boring. All I had to do was choose a template (how I wanted the information organized on the page) and then fill in the information. There was no actual thought process needed. I wouldn't assign the activity to any children in a classroom that I was teaching.

Final thoughts: Maybe I missed something on the Book Cover application. I didn't think I did. (sigh)

until next time, stay educated

IDIOT!

So I have just realized that I am as dumb as I look. I have not been attending my online class like I should. I know, I know! What a IDIOT! But in my defense I honestly didn't know. If you read my other blog Amachi you know that allot of things slip my mind and not that class should slip you mind but I just though that somethings (like assignments due) would be told to me through e-mail. So when I didn't receive a e-mail I didn't do any work. I'm clearly going to fail this class. If I haven't already. Shame shame shame. This blog was suppose to be written last week on Copyrighting. We had to watch a series of YouTube videos and PowerPoint's and take a short online short answer quiz of sorts. The videos were very entertaining and catchy. The PowerPoint's... not so much. But they were informative. I never knew what a copyright was really. I just knew that when I wrote a bibliography that I had to include the company who copyrighted what I cited in whatever piece of work I was producing. So these videos actually did some good for the brain.
