Blog #5

 

  • Do you feel your blog meets all the rubric criteria? If not, then what areas need work?
I will say yes because all the blogs I have written so far, I got good response from my professor. I won't say I'm where I want to be when it comes to writing but i can confidently say that I have gotten much better than I used to be when it comes to writing. 
    
  • Which aspects of writing assignments on a blog confuse or create stress for you?
I have never been confused or stress since I started this class and started writing blogs. I will say that starting the actual writing is my biggest struggle.
      
 
  • Are you putting your best efforts into assignments and blog writing?
Yes I am, when it comes to all of my school work I do put in my best. I may not be the best but I put in my best. 
 
      
  • Or,  do you procrastinate and then have trouble completing your work?
No matter how hardworking and on time you are with things, as human we do procrastinate. yes there are days I try to put things off but I always remember the reason I started and where I'm headed. 

     
  • Do you review and revise your blog posts for grammar, mechanics, and readability?
Honestly I try to do so, but it becomes difficult especially not knowing your mistakes or errors. I didn't grow up speaking English so till date when it comes to English I don't know where I'm making mistakes. 

     
  • Writing on a blog can be risky since the blog is public and will be seen by others. How do you feel about other students reading your blog and peer-reviewing?  (it's okay to feel uncomfortable - that's normal).
I don't feel a way about it, anyone can point things out to me when I'm wrong about anything.

    Hi Anna, I imagine it is very hard learning a new language. With all the differences in phrases and grammar it must be very confusing. I have found your writing is generally understandable despite the occasional grammar error or odd phrasing. For example you wrote " I didn't grow up speaking English so till date when it comes to English I don't know where I'm making mistakes" so till date is confusing you could switch it out for 'still today' or 'to this date'. I understand it is hard to not procrastinate and it can be hard to get started. I find blank pages give me writers block, so sometimes it helps to just find a picture and throw that on first. If you can work ahead on your writing there is a virtual library on D2L. You can make an appointment with them to get help editing your writing and help you learn. Good Luck!

Blog post #4Cuba

  Cuba is a country in the West Indies, Cuba is also the largest single island of the archipelago, and one of the more-influential states of the Caribbean region. Cuba was claimed by Christopher Columbus for Spain in 1492. It became the Spanish empire's most-important source of raw sugar in the 18th century and later earned a sobriquet "Pearl of the Allies." On New Year's Day, 1959, revolutionary forces led by Fidel Castro overthrew the government of dictator Fulgencio Batista. Life in contemporary Cuba is thus challenging, given the limit access to food, transportation, electrical power, an other necessities. Even so, many Cubans show a fierce pride in their revolutionary society, the only one of its kind in Latin America.  ever since the new privatization laws lifted the lid off Cuba's creative pressure cooker in 2011, a  culinary has been in full swing.
