This week we went to Balboa Park and looked at The Hall of Champions. I thought it was pretty cool how a lot of the different areas had some really cool artifacts like, a sailing boat and gear from the San Diego Chargers. They were even some good ideas we could use for our exhibition, like the T.V. screens and the pictures that created the backboard. I had a lot of fun exploring Balboa Park with my friends and learning about all kinds of different historic events. Something that I didn't like was the football area of the museum had only information on the Chargers. I feel like they should have put more of a variety of football teams so we could have been more exposed to the way different teams work and had more examples to look at.
Another thing we worked on this week was our libertarian article. I liked his one way more then the other articles. We didn't have to write a reflection which for me was a relief, because I was really tiered of writing them. We did our mini groups and Socratic seminar which both went really well. I think they where one of our better ones. Most people participated and I felt really good about how much I participated. It was an interesting text so I feel like it kept most people engaged. We also made French toast to support our class name "The French Toast Mafia"

This week I did more reading, annotating, reading logs, seminars and just pretty much the normal routine on the articles we receive. To be completely honest I am really not interested in any of the work we are doing. I hate that we aren't doing anything other then reading articles that are in my opinion pretty boring. I want to be doing stuff that has more to do with free writing or just anything that doesn't consist of me doing absolutely nothing that is not gonna benefit my project. I'm not really sure how to make my experience better and help myself get more out of my class time, but I want to make that a personal goal for next week. We haven't really worked with partners this week it has mostly just been individual work and I hope to more next week. I feel like this was not my strongest week and I spent most of it highly irritated.
This week I spent most of my time reading annotation and writing reflections on texts that were given. Honestly this week for me met very little, because I don't feel like I am engaged in the work we are doing. I feel like reading a bunch of text is not the way to learn about things. We started to learn about women's rights and the civil war. We did this by reading a bunch of articles and filling out worksheets. I would have rather done an assignment were I was writing my own protest or something that I feel strongly about that needs to change in today's world. Something that I am beginning to learn from being in this class is how to interact with people that I would not normally.
This week I worked on both writing articles and my magazine cover. I spent a lot of time critiquing and analyzing to prepare for the seminar. I feel pretty proud of the amount of effort I put into my work this week. I refreshed my memory on doing certain things on illustrator that I forgot about. I worked really well with Annika and Natilie this week. I also feel like I learned a lot and developed better understandings of the text from Noah. Next week I hope to continue getting my work done on time and continue having a good understanding on what we are doing in class.
