(a) an evaluation of your First Artifact conversation
- Since my first artifact was writing based, I sent each writing to my friends in Korea before posting. They would often fix small grammatical issues such words that have the same meaning but different usage. For example, in one entry I wrote about wearing a ring without knowing there was a specific verb used for wearing of accessories. Although my sentence made sense, it was not quite right because I used the wrong form of wear. I think this artifact was good because it showed a wide range of topics and therefore a wide range of sentence structures. Often, I get into a rut of using the same basic structures but this exercise forced me to go outside of my comfort zone. I often had to look up words I didn't know and I learned a lot of new vocabulary and interesting grammar points along the way. I think I did well with this artifact because my friends never had to completely rewrite my work, only small revisions. Even they were surprised by the lack of rewrites.
(b) an assessment of how well you met your learning goals for weeks 4 and 5.
- I will admit that these goals have been coming around slowly for me because I spent too much time reviewing my past lessons without moving forward. I had completed unit 15 so far which leaves unit 16-18 to be completed along with my review and tasks. It seems to be so daunting once I get behind.
