Well, our first project is officially underway and the second is still to follow. We had to complete deliverable A of our digital story. I must say that I hope we can go back and redo it if we must, because I haven’t actually begun my volunteer work and I may wish to change what it is I’m doing. I haven’t started yet because I’m still waiting to hear back from the person that runs the particular center I was interested in volunteering at. I researched quite a few different things and now I’m thinking I should have followed through on one of the other opportunities because time is an issue with this project. But, for now, what’s done is done and I’ll continue on with the next step of the project.
This week’s reading assignments were interesting. We actually had a couple of poems mixed in with the reading so it brought a different approach. They were both short poems and I read them each a few times, but I’m not exactly sure that I dissected them correctly. As is usually the case, I’m hoping that after all the other students’ posts are submitted, it will clear things up a bit. I must say that my personal favorite story for the week was the letter written by Martin Luther King Jr. while he was imprisoned in an Alabama jailhouse. I had never actually read this writing by MLK and it was very gripping. I knew he was a powerful speaker and it’s easy to see why. It would have been an exhilarating experience to have listened to him in person.
As we continue on to next week, we will be undertaking our second project and that is to write a Capstone. Initially, I wasn’t as worried about this project as I was the digital story, but my nerves are kicking in about it now. The hardest part for me as with many students is just finding the right topic. Once I have that, I’m hoping it will go smoothly from there. But, time will tell and time will also be running out!
