This past week, like all of the ones before it, was a new experience for each of us in this class. Some of us may not have taken it as seriously as others might have, due to interest in class in general but overall, we all experienced some kind of 'aha' moment. Starting the year off with reflecting on something we have experienced, then generating a statement paper really got everyone thinking more intently on what it is we believe in. Using these newly learned principles, we transitioned into reading someone else's experiences then generated Big Questions that we later used to reflect (from the characters perspective) on what they experienced, leading into answering and writing about what they believed in. Beginning this week with a new look at a different style of writing at first didn't seem to follow the same pattern. Although I've never been super excited about presenting information in front of others, - especially when it's about something I don't quite understand - I am curious to see how this project is going to work itself out. Knowing that we're going to be generating another Big Question, it's easier to look at this daunting task with more comfort, knowing that this project will in some ways mirror the two previous projects. I'm excited to see where this new project takes us and I feel that although I'm not too enthusiastic about presenting, I know I'll be much more comfortable knowing that this project is somewhat similar to those before it.
