Letter Responses: Brooke Bolofsky

[Brookebolofsky]

The abstract is due. Everything is an unknown. We came into this course and did not know what we were going to learn, how we were going to learn and what is going to take place. We walked in with an open mind of what is to come. This is sometimes the best way to not know how things will play out.

take a break, then The Return of the Jedi
- Engagement and expression. We worked together as a team to learn. We interpreted the structures and and gave our examples from our life. We expressed how we felt in our felt expressions. We engaged together to complete the joint structures. It was important to work together to comprehend things in a different way.
finally, the second submission
- The abstracts are finally coming together. They are almost done. They take a long time to do as it is putting the entire course and what was accomplished in one short paper. Soon it will be finished once all of the authors (all of the students) names are inputed.
abstracts and authorship
- In both abstracts all of the names are finally inputed. These are the names of the students who had been posting in the fishbowl. These fishbowl postings helped Sanjiv create these abstracts. The names are listed on the abstracts in no particular order, they are there to give credit to the students.

Sanjiv is now reading our fishbowls. There are a lot of things for him to read, our vocab, searches and responses. There is a lot in the fishbowl. Our thoughts, feelings, sybmols, experiences. All of these things make up the fishbowl and make it interesting to read. We all learned a lot but learned it differently. Our fishbowls show how we interpreted the information and what we have taken out of it.

abstract submission extended
- The abstract submission deadline was extended. This allows some changes to be made and edits to be done and names to be added. Class is canceled will be online 11/26. Keep working on fishbowl and the structures are all due by thanksgiving!

letter of recommendation
- If you are able to get an A in this course you will get a letter of recommendation. Letters of recommendation are very important when applying for jobs and school. It would be great to get one of these letters to keep in my files to have for job interviews as I am starting to look for a job for when I graduate in may. One of these letters would be something great to have to show to a boss and they can see what one of my professors thought of me. To get one of these letters make sure to get everything done in this class, catch up on fishbowl, finish the 10+1 structures and continue to reply to letters.

Reflection is important. You learn from reflecting on what you have written and what others have also done. This is a process. On thanksgiving it is important to reflect on this history of the course. What have you learned and what has been done. Understanding each other is important to learn and understand each others ideas.

Everyone is at different points. Different spots in the fishbowl, different spots in the 10+1 structures, different places in life. As long as we keep moving it is good progress. If we keep working others will notice and look at our work!

Maturity, Empathy, Wisdom, and Perspective all have to do with our fishbowls. Over the course of the semester we learned and matured over time from our work. We have gained new perspectives and learned new things and empathized with others in our structures. We have learned many things in this course from our fishbowls.

Voguing is moving around. In the fishbowl we are moving around between reading, replying, vocabulary and google searching. In the class we are also working in our teams with our 10+1 structures. We are doing many things at once. Moving around. In business one is also moving around constantly, working with employees, customers and trying to get everything done at once.

[Brookebolofsky]

Our fishbowl postings are technical images. Everyone perceives things differently and that is what they put in their fishbowl. In the fishbowl we put our thoughts down for others to read. Our behaviors in the fishbowl has changed since the beginning of the semester as we have leaned new things and understand things differently. We adapt to the course and change our ways of doing things.

Slow reading is key. Reading this more than once is also key. In the fishbowls it is important to read things slow. Get lost in words help you understand what is going on. In the 10+1 structures it will help you relate to the structure. Reading helps you learn, getting lost in the words help you relate and understand what is going on and interpret it.

In class a man named Mike is going to come and speak with us. He is from RI and is a filmmaker. He will teach us about him and what he does.

[Brookebolofsky]

Due to the snow storm class is canceled. We will be online. Sanjiv is asking Mike to email us about the selfie videos. Working on fishbowls and vocab is something to work on during this time of no class.
