  Progress Chart After looking at the progress chart, I currently have 240 points going into week 8, which means I will have an A in the class! I am striving to get an A in the class because I want to get a 4.0 in my last two semesters of college! I also want to maintain my GPA so I can graduate with honors! Looking Back Looking back at this semester, I am very proud of the progress I have made. The original schedule I made at the beginning of the semester hasn't been feasible for me most weeks, and I find myself just getting my work done when I have a free moment! This semester has been extremely busy for me and finding times to get my work done can be challenging some weeks! My planner helps me stay organized though! I have been enjoying the blog commenting assignments the most! I love getting to read everyone's stories and see their creativity through their writing!

 Comments and Feedback Feedback In I would give the feedback I have been receiving a 10/10! I get so excited to know people are actually reading my content and they really like it! I love how not only do they tell me things they love about my story/introduction, they give me insightful feedback on what areas need to be tweaked and improved upon!

Feedback Out I feel like I have been leaving really helpful feedback notes on my classmate's blogs because of the wonderful techniques I have learned like the WWW and TAG/Pretend. These techniques allow me to complement the work I am reading, but also it gives me the opportunity to ask questions and give suggestions! I think too often comments are praise only ...

 Looking Back Looking back at this semester, I have really enjoyed reading different stories from different cultural backgrounds and writing my thoughts about each one. I am happy with how the reading and writing assignments are working for! Each week, I write short summaries of each story so it is easier for me to go back and write micro-fictions later in the week! I decided to adjust the layout of my blog for a refresh, but overall I believe it is functioning well. My favorite reading unit so far has been the biblical unit! I loved this unit because I already have a significant amount of knowledge when it comes to traditional bible stories, but I loved reading more about them and I learned things I didn't know before. The women in the Bible stories were very interesting and pointed out some characters I wasn't familiar with. I also loved getting to read the Gospel of Mark through a translation I wasn't as familiar with as well! Through these readings, I have learned some ...
