Portfolio Assesment

1.) Explain why or why not you were satisfied with our latest newsletter project.
     
      I was satisfied with my latest newsletter project to a certain extent.This was because I loved all the topics that I werote about but i did lack a little bit of organization. Being that I write about a variety of topics on my blog it was hard to get my topics to relate or flow with each other into one piece. Besides my organization there wasnt many things I would change about my blog.

2.) Describe each page you wrote and explain the thought process you went through in designing each page. Refer back to the project if necessary. BE SPECIFIC!

      On the first page of my newsletter I picked a topic that I thought might catch readers attention and then continued with another topic that related to my covers big headline.My main goal when I started to write my newsletter was to make everything flow as one. My first article was about an American Doll Crisis while the next article was about a crisis in Japan. I continued with a snow disaster in NewYork. My take on this part of my newsletter was to inform of the different havocs taking place in the different parts of the world. I then went on to talk about things that you could do under the sircumstances that you were in a diasaster like a snow storm.Like ice skating and going to the movies which lead me into a movie review. With my next article I went out on a limb only because I felt my newsletter lacked a little bit of fashion or entertaining news. I did a article on Lady Gaga and then a woman mauled by a dog as a closing.

3.) Explain how you have developed as a writer and a blogger.
     
      I developed as a writer and a blogger because I enhanced my writing skills along with vocabulary over te past few months. With my daily writing routines I am able to write about various topics with great ease.

4.) Explain the weaknesses you still feel you need to overcome. What do you need to improve?
      One of my greatest weaknesses are writers block. If you dont give me a topic to write about its hard for me to come up with a topic of my mind. Writers block is my biggest problem because its many things to choose from to write about its just finding the write topic to catch my attention.To improve my writing I believe I must continue to do journals like in the beginning of the year on a random topic.

5.) What do your blogs demonstrate about you as a learner? A writer? A student?

      My blog demonstrates that I am a open minded writer.I dont stick to one topic and Im able to write about different things despite the fact that one topic may interest me more than another. As a student this is a positive aspect of my charecter because I am up for challenges and can adjust to different ways and styles of learning with ease.
