Reflection on Online Article



My Article:

There are many kinds of sports: Basketball, Baseball, Football, Golf, Volleyball, Skiing, Tennis, Bowling, Swimming, Rugby, and Badminton. But these are not the only sports; there are Skateboarding, Bike- Riding, and Jumping. Sports can improve the 5 components of fitness, which are: strength, speed, skill, stamina, and suppleness. Sports can burn calories. They can affect your appetite. Have you ever felt how alive you are after doing sports? Well, the center of the Brain that manages our muscular actionsis very close to the part that manages the feeling and thinking. The possibility that one Brain centre could affect another is large (in a positive way) and a sense of being alive might be our feeling part of the Brain centre's response to the muscular Brain centre's activity.
Sports are complex in the way that they are a way to escape our lives as well as a way to look at our lives in a clear way. In the world of sports the line of victory and defeat is quite clear. There is no question of what team you are on or what position you play within the team. These things are not always clear in real life. Escaping to the world of sports is an opportunity to think about these questions in our own lives.

My Reflection:

During the last quarter, we've been working on Online Articles, creating an amusing "newspaper" article about an interesting topic. For example; Sports, entertainment, science and culture etc.
My article was about sports. I included what kinds of sports exist, how they affect our lives and why people do sports. Like most of my friends in my class, I researched the information on the computer, (I obviously don't know everything about sports) and tried getting some excellent facts from there. However, the most difficult thing for me to do while researching was to gather up all the facts and put them in my own words. We all like to copy paste information, and we all know that we're going to get busted after wards.
All in all, I actually enjoyed doing an, let's say, essay. It was extremely easy to write out my report, especially with a help of "Write an Article" Guideline, and it took a short amount of time to do it if you were to compare it to other assignments- very long.

Introduction+Reflection

Hi everybody!
I am hoping to amuse you with the reflection that I’m going to write on this blog relating to the subjects we are working on in class, and out of class. I will be talking about some of my beneficial and some of my risky sides.
Anyhow, the reflection includes book reports online. The online site that we’ve been using is called Glogster. The Glogster online book report was very tedious, I spent a lot of time working and thinking, ultimately checking my work. However, I found it quite fascinating, because I enjoy writing book reports and reviewing them. My biggest adversary is called: “Presentation.” That is surely not a name, anyhow, my oral skills are lower that my writing skills. When I stood up there, in front of all of the kids, I found myself dumbfounded, and it was super humiliating. I don’t know why, but I tend to get Goosebumps when I stand in front of a crowed, even if my work is extraordinary.
Lately we’ve been studying poetic devices and making poems, then presenting them. I have been very buoyant meaning that I was glad that we were studying such useful and understandable work, and I hope that I will cope with the upcoming assignments.
To wrap this up, I would like to say how I am the type of person who is always careful with her work, and that I am never impetuous. This is really important, because sacred people or any other people around the world, like scientists, archaeologists, geographers etc are forceful and always think through to make their ultimate work clear and easy to read. “Without wanting, you will never receive the getting.”
