How did the reading go for you this week? What struck you the most in this week's reading? Were there ideas you struggled with?
I enjoyed reading the piece written by John Muir. I grew up in Martinez so his house and a park he discovered and named was never far away. I had always known how much he enjoyed traveling and discovering natural masterpieces but had yet to read any of his written work around his experiences.
Where did you do your best writing this week — in this class? In another class? Have you discovered some good strategies for helping yourself focus on writing for this class?
The best thing to do in order to keep up in this class I believe is to get ahead. Since the information is available early, it only makes sense not to wait until the last minute including some of the extra credit pieces that can be completed during the week.
How are things going in your other classes? Are there any connections you are noticing between your other classes and stuff you are doing for this class?
What are your plans and hopes for next week in this class? In your other classes?

Did you read something excellent written by someone else in the class? What made it stand out to you?
I read several posts from classmates this week and commented on all that I read. One that stood out to me was Amber's. She went the extra mile to further research the Treaty of Guadalupe to provide further contest to her analysis.

This class is the most in depth of all my classes and also the most entailed comparatively. Having bookmarked all pages for this class makes everything more easily accessible.

I will be going on vacation this weekend so I will need to complete all classwork as well as part of next week's work before I go. Struggling to get a leap ahead but persisting.
Hi Rhiannon! I am just reading this post. I agree with you on that getting ahead is a good strategy to keep up with the assignments in this class. The only thing I think it is best to start off with the extra credit just in case things come up during the week and for some reason have less time. I think this is a great strategy that I need to start doing even though we are wrapping up week 6, especially since I am trying to balance another 2 classes.
