So, although this is extremely late to post this, I thought that getting a grade for week seven's blog was a little bit important and that maybe reflecting a tad bit might also do me some good. So on the week 7 lesson plan it says that we started our introduction into google presentations. I remember thinking that although it would make me have to stop my reading quite a bit, it would ultimately help me finish a paper with all of my ideas still somewhat gathered. Although I didn't necessarily think it would help me any more than not taking notes, I went for it and I was pleasantly surprised at just how much more information I was retaining when I stopped in my reading at places I thought were more significant than others. This really helped me gather my thoughts more linearly, previously when reading I would try and remember as much as I could but I kept finding myself forgetting about the smaller details that helped paint the bigger picture. I really enjoyed the Alchemist and I think part of why I really enjoyed it so much was the fact that I was stopping more often to appreciate the more impactful parts of the story. Taking picture notes ultimately helped me realize where I wanted to take my project and even though I had my doubts at the beginning, I will admit now readily that without the picture notes, I wouldn't have gotten too far in my paper. This new way of reading generated a lot more critical thinking for me and for that I'm grateful.
