Weekly Review, Week 11

 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? 
   Readings this week were interesting. I chose to do my Wikipedia Trail starting with Eldridge Cleaver and dug a little more in depth regarding some of the specifics of incidents leading to his involvement in the Black Panther Party and influence.


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?
     My favorite writing this week was for one of my History 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 several either for project planning or introductions I had not yet read.  It was interesting to see all the different personalities and interests that everyone has.

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?
     Struggling with my math class at the moment otherwise all are going well.

What are your plans and hopes for next week in this class? In your other classes?

     Starting smaller assignments early this week since I have an exam this Thursday.  I want to make sure I plan out enough time to complete everything and have study time.

What drives them, their vices, their motivations and their downfalls. We get a glimpse into the lives of early California settlers and the San Francisco area before it became the area we know and love today.      John Muir writes more about the landscapes and the beauty of untouched nature. Lands that have been previously undiscovered like Yosemite Valley. His many journeys throughout the country undoubtedly left their mark, but the Sierras also left their mark on him. He says the Sierras should be known as the “mountains of light.” He says that every rock in Yosemite seemed to glow. His connection to nature clearly drove him to continue exploring so that he may appreciate more of the lands untouched by men.      George Sterling also seemed connected wi...

Growth Mindset Theory Week 7

For this week's Growth Mindset Theory challenge, I chose to pick a quote, motto or mantra. This quote is from one of my favorite shows and reminds us to live every day to the fullest, seize our moments and choose our own destiny without allowing our past or fears to stand in our way.
