Dystopia Reflective essay {series 3}

My learning and thinking was affected greatly by my classmates writing. I think that using the blogs helped me a lot to realize things going on in the book that I was confused with. It was great seeing what my classmates had to say about things in the book, because sometimes their ideas would be just like mine, and at other times they would introduce me to things that I hadn’t thought about. For example if I had discussed something with my group mates, and then went onto the Blog, many of the other classes would have talked about it, but they used different ideas. This helped broaden my learning experience, and helped me to further my understanding of the book. The bloging process definatly benefited me. I liked that Mr. Miller was able to respond to all of our posts because in class there isn’t enough time for him to talk to everyone individually but it’s easy for us to communicate with him through the Blog. His ideas, and him bouncing ideas off of our thoughts also helped me a lot to learn deeper meanings of things that I may have thought into, yet Mr. Miller gave me some piece of information or a question that would help me to come up with the real meaning that the author was trying to get across. Throughout this book, the Blog has helped me a tremendous amount, as well as throughout the year with other subjects or assignments that we were assigned.This bloging benefited me for many reasons including the fact that it allowed me to discuss things with people in other classes that may have talked about things that my class didn’t get to. I think that the fact that we are able to talk to other classes helps a lot because we can relate and communicate better with peers that we can with teachers sometimes. I enjoyed doing the Blog and I think that it was a great way to learn, and benefited my learning about this book greatly.
