1) There's only one thing that may affect my participation in this class is that I'm naturally a shy and quiet person in class. I like to keep to my own thoughts and I know that this class is different then most and I'll have to learn to speak what's on my mind. Other than that, nothing else should affect this experience.
2) Freshmen year in Honors English we had to either receit a long speech from the story Romeo and Juliet or make a 10 minute video summarizing the events in the story. My group chose to make a video. I thought making this video would be a drag and I just wanted to get it done with. But it turns out that I had an awesome time making it and being in it. Plus I got to make it with a bunch of my friends and it took us longer then necessary to make it because we were laughing so much. Making this video made me realize that you can have fun learning things in various ways. To this day, only reading Romeo and Juliet once, I can tell you what's it about and the main details about it.
3) So far I'm excited and worried about everything. When I learned that we had to make a blog I was nervous because I have never done anything like this before and it scared the poop out of me. But at the same time I was excited because this is something new and if this class didn't require a blog I probably wouldn't have EVER made one and it excites me that I can do it now. This is just the first week of school so I have no clue what is in store for me. I look forward to even more amazing and cool ways in how to learn. Our life isn't going to be like school, where we show up to a classroom, sit down, take out textbooks, and learn. No life isn't that easy and I think this class is practical in the ways we live our lives. That's the the way we are supposed to learn things, in a real and practical way.
