The process was very much a very straightforward process when it comes to writing the in class literary analysis. Basically a bunch of readings taking notes engaging with the group. I was very vocal and very proactive throughout the process with the limited finite time I was able to engage with the group. The actual Class essay overall was a good experience. I expected much worse because I’m not the fastest typer in the world or the most grammatically correct typer in the world. And so it was a good experience. I hope to just overall prepare for the essay more so that way I have more to write but I was able to get my main points down as long as with some evidence to really support my claims and arguments. In general for my riding I want to practice riding drafts and focusing on going through multiple processes to create and build one solid piece of literature rather than just simply voice typing my way one shot of an essay or literature and just leaving it how it is. Leading the class discussion definitely was better than I anticipated. I wasn’t really around for the process of leading the class discussion; it was a very simple integration myself within my group. I have my questions prepared and everything I was able to copy and paste my questions out to the Google Doctor the group made and I just do what I did what I always do. I asked some good questions. I made sure to really participate when it comes to the discussion by asking multiple questions instead of just asking one. The class as a whole was very hopeful and led the discussion and helped me get integrated. It really helps knowing that we have such an intelligent class that can carry a class discussion and conversation. Overall I thought the class discussion was pretty good,I felt like I should have answered some of the questions and responded to some of the classmates with their responses and their answers. I should have done more to engage with the other students rather than just letting them carry the conversation and me moving on to the next person to ask their questions. I felt like my other groupmates were more prepared to carry a conversation and a dialogue with the students in the in class discussion then I was. Who prepared me for the in class essay by giving me more perspective and points of view of a short story that was really familiar so that way I have the best amount of prior knowledge needed to write the essay. Hearing everybody’s point of view of how they interpret and view the story definitely shapes the perspective of my essays in shaping my interpretations and analysis of the other short stories in her body and other parties even though it’s not exactly the same story. I was able to connect things my classmates stated and apply it to other stories.
