Reflection

looking back at all of my media blogs, I think that as a whole they really helped to learn more about media and ads and how they affect us.  Sure, we wrote mainly about what we learned in class, but writing about the topics in my own way really helped to bring the information in and truly understand it.  I think that the project really helps to better understand what we learn in class.  While we can study the concepts and maybe talk about them with someone else, actually writing about it and applying it to something that appeals to us is what allows for the information to be truly driven home.
Reflecting on my writing, I think that i could have done a better job.  I think that maybe tying to apply the concepts to more real life situations would really help, along with following a better plan while wrtiting.
I think that if I had followed more of an outline for my blogs rather than writing more randonkly would have really helped to improve both the fluency of the writing and the understanding of concepts.  I think also that it would have been better to write more about a specific article or something that I myself had found.  I think that this would have allowed for a more in depth analysis of the topic and to see it from another persons perspective.  While we did do something similar to this, I think that if I had done it more often and chosen a topic more related to the concepts that we have learned it would have really helped.
In conclusion I think that the project really helped to understand what we have learned in class and was very applicable to a real life situation rather than just reading about the subject in a book.
