Final Reflection

Dear professor INTAWIWAT,

Life is a challenge, where ever you are or what are you doing. Going back to school foe me after

almost ten years is the big challenge of my life now. In those past ten years I try my best to be a

good mother and wife. I decide to do something for myself and have something that make my

children proud of me more than just being their mom. During this semester, I learn a lot in ENG

111-128, he was a big challenge for me thought all the topics. I try hard to be at the same level as

my classmates which apparently grows up with the news technologies. Some of the assignments

was simple for me to do, but some was like a dream for me, I dont kwon how to start until I

have more explanations. I think that the most difficult for me was the digital part, the portfolio

and magazine.

The written literacy was a rap return to my past and an occasion to write about my

personal experience. I was a little be hard to transfer my feelings and during this essay. This I

believe was very interesting; when you think that you are the only one who have some kind of

experience; somebody else in the world has the same according to their culture, religion..

It is not easy as we think to write at the first person, because when you want to express the words

of somebody else, you have to take care of the tenses, the pronouns: it is a real revising of all the
grammar rules. The written literacy was a real adventure in my memories to write Night Battles.

I try to remember every specifics detail, organize them, to make essay coherent and clear for the

reader. It is difficult to understand people spirituality when you do not any information about his

culture.

Relate what you saw to what you write; visual-oral literacy and the ethnography, research

paper was very interesting topic.

Learning about plagiarism, how to insert quotes in informative document, how to use our

imagination to create a story bases on a picture was a good exercise.

The ethnography was bases on braiders in the hair braiding salon. Write about this subculture

was a big challenge for me. I know the subject very well the difficulties were to structure and

insert quotes in my work. I really dont know what to do with my ethnography. I get confused

and make long time to write something that satisfies me that I write an informative rapport. Its

unusual essay because he integrate researches. The most difficult part was to find something

relate to my subject and integrate the quotes. He takes so much time to me to white something

that I didnt peer and review my ethnography; I just submitted it and hope that I do something in

the right path. The ethnography looks like a dead end for me.

I love story, when I was a little girl I was always create a story about something strange I

saw and I make my mother laugh because I want to make her happy. Create the story bases on

the picture was easy. A good moment was when I write the slam poem about my father I express

my feelings one more time and feels happy to tell him what I have in my heart.

Digital literacy, and pop culture was a big discovery for me, never imagine used to create

a digital narrative or a portfolio on my own. Use Weebly, Prezi and Madmagz were more than a
challenge. For me it was very strange to use all those applications in English class. For the two

last topics of the class with you professor I was lost. I get confused, and asked myself: why this

teacher wants to make my life complicated with all this work? But I found the way to do my best

to do all the assignment, but trying many times as I can. I am proud of me after those four

months of learning in your class. Thank you for your time.
