This week, I went through the most important but least-looked element in finalising our essays at the last minute, which is our rubrics. I made the mistake of checking through my rubric at the last minute as I've panicked and cracked my head over the elements needed in my essay when everything is already in my rubric. Peer assessment was really helpful as well as my peers had picked out many things about my essay that needs improvement and more often than usual, I overlook them.
The whole week have really been about applying our knowledge into writing our essays. From peer assessments, paper rater, e-resources to a nice sit-down with teachers and matrons (MORE PEER ASSESSMENTS!), I'm glad we're done with the essay as it seems never ending in terms of correcting it. In today's class, I realise that the important part of critical selection is the ANNOTATION and not the arrangement of my media. I was so caught up in presenting my document well that I hardly made time to annotate the document from my bibliography. I hope that we could do more exercises in class next week. :D
What kind of exercises do you want Jo?
ReplyDeleteexercises like the ones we did on the parts of the essay such as the structure and coherence. It would be cool if we could watch a video clip and analyse stuff out of it or writing essays. I feel like getting in touch with the pen as it sometimes help me remember better.
DeleteOK. Noted Jo. Any time you want to write by hand or see an opportunity to do so, take it and I will try to bear it in mind too. What about Free Writing?
ReplyDeletesorry for the late reply, Ms Abena. I don't know why the comment notifications go to my private email instead! We hardly do any free writing because of the amount of coursework we have, Ms Abena, maybe when we've some free time sometimes, we can do it?
DeleteYes. To be honest it slipped my mind rather than a conscious decision not to do it. For sure we will continue it on a regular basis next year.
