Reflection Post: Week 1 & 2




The first week in class I learned that everything we do in our class is going to be on a blog. After we started the blog, it was challenging but I think it’s going to be ok! (It’s growing on me J) We also did a class activity and realized we need to work together to improve the environment around us. We also need to realize that the environment we live in effects how you live.

The second week of class we looked at the environment and government. We looked at different quotes and we had to see how they related to the environment, everyone had really great ideas! I also really liked the 60-minuet video that we watched; it really opened up my eyes not only on global warming but politics. We also learned more about blogging, like posting on our blog and permalinks. It was challenging but I am excited to do more!
