I Got a lot done this week. Mainly focusing on my creative writing, and my multi genre research project. We have watched some more things having to do with time travel, and I'm getting a really good idea about what it's all about. I'm really glad I chose this topic, and I wish I had even more time to delve deeper into it. Our group has really come a long way, and I'm certain all of our participation, and work ethic will score us a good grade in this class. With my creative writing I have started writing my second chapter, and I think it is really good so far. Overall this was a good week, and I'm sure the coming weeks will be getting more frantic as we get closer to the end of the marking period, but I'm sure I am prepared.

This week we chose our new subjects, mine being Time Travel. I Thought this week was really productive because we chose our new SSR books, we wrote a sci fi blog post, we started writing some more creative writings, and we decided what we would be doing with our artifacts. What I learned about this week is that when watching or reading sci fi, sometimes you can relate it to other sci fi things that you have seen. This was really cool when it happened with the Twilight Episode and Star Trek. It made me feel like I'm really starting to know more about Sci Fi and different genres in it. Also I think my participation in this week was one hundred percent because I got everything that I needed done done, and I understood everything we were working on. The book I chose for my SSR novel is a book by David Brin called Startide Rising. So far this book has been really interesting to me. I really like when books have different aliens and governments, and the concept of the whole uplifting is a really neat idea. This week was really great, it was super productive and fun. I Can't wait to start reading some Time Travel stuff and dig into Sci Fi even more.

This shows how well we know about Sci Fi through history. It shows that we were focused, stayed on topic, and were really passionate about what we were learning about. I kind of scared going into the second marking period, I'm hoping it will be as fun as this one was. I also turned in my creative writing today, and I finished my short stories book. Out of all the short stories there were only a few that I really liked, like They go bump, and there was one where this alien lived inside you and ate off of your nutrients in your stomach. When reading, I really stayed focus on my reading, and was never distracted with other things. This was a really good week for me. If you want to know more about the book of short stories I read click here: Short stories This Week we have really been trying to finish our book reading, and taking more notes. Currently we are reading Ender's Game. In our notes we have been comparing and contrasting the Time Traveller and Ender's Game, we have noticed how these two books are very different kinds of Sci Fi and how the Sci Fi has changed through history. We have also been finishing up our stories in writing, and I have been learning how important it is to stay focused while writing, otherwise it will just all sound wrong when reading it. I can't wait until my story is done, I think it's going to be really good. The marking period is almost over, and everyone is finishing up their stuff before they start their projects. I believe we may be a little behind, but I will try hard to catch up to where we should be. If you would like to know a little bit about Ender's Game here's a link to a description: Wikipedia |
