What I Have Learned In First Quarter

     Approaching the end of the first quarter I have a better understanding for what it takes to have organized, detailed, and non plagiarized research. At the beginning of the quarter the class went over the expectations and goals for the year and the importance of completing assignments using correct methods insuring that work will not be plagiarized. At first I was not exactly sure if I knew how to use the correct methods but after the first couple assignments I became more confident with my work and began to understand what was being looked for in the class. This year I learned certain tech skills that were some-what familiar to me but I had not used them much until this class. I learned how to easily hyperlink a source and post different entries onto my blog.

     During the first quarter I learned the importance of studying movies that involve historical significance such as the movies we watched in class, 12 Years A Slave and Glory. These movies not only helped me understand the events but also opened up a new understanding about what components go into movies to make them historically accurate but also popular to watch. Overall I have learned many important skills in the class and hope to continue to learn as the year progresses.
