Group progress #1

Our group has decided on a how to dance video. Being that I am a t-comm major I've been given the task of shooting and editing, also I will be the one dancing. I will see if I can rent a camera for this but if not my group mates have digital cameras that we can use but I will still be editing the video.

My own worst enemy

When assesing my own work I tend to look at punctuation because I have tendency to over look it while reading. Also I look at how long it is what the spacing is other things like that. Considering that when I write I'm free writing there is much more chance of me having errors. But even with my writing the way it is I make sure to give my reasons for writing and I also make sure that my transitions are clear. That's how assess myself.

I'm a brilliant strategist

This section basically tells us that we need to pay attention to what we are reading. It states thats its okay to skim over things just to get a basic over view but if you really want to a good basis of what is going on you have to go over the reading carefully or as carefully as you can. It is also a good idea to take notes over what you've read or just jot things down while reading and a thing that I like to do is to look up words that I don't know so that I maty incorporate them into my own vocabulary. That's a basic over vew of reading strategies.

Analyze this ( I don't own this statement don't sue)

While analyzing a text its important to look for the meaning behind the words, the best example I can give for this is analyzing Shakespeare dialogue. There is always something behind what one of his characters has to say, but it may the most simplest thing put into many words. Also you must state what you are analyzing for the reader to know what you are talking about. That's my view on analyzing text.

Edit your Proof

When I write my paragraphs I always make sure that I proof read while going through it instead of the end so as to not to have to do so at the end. The first sentence is always a hard thing to write because its the eye catcher, and the ending is even worst. But I always try to keep it simple with my word choise as to keep the readers attention without them having to look up words. That's my strategy for editing my paragraphs.
