Week Six Learning Reflection


a.  At what moment did you feel most engaged with what you were learning for ENG 241?  Be specific.  Was it while reading? What? Writing for the online discussion forum?  To which post were you responding? While thinking about the class, or while talking to others about it?   Why was this the moment when you felt most engaged?

I felt most engaged while reading "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl"  by Jacob, also replying my comments and opinions on the discussion forum about slavery.  This is the moment i felt most engaged when reading my classmates comments,  personal opinions about slavery and Dr. Brandon's response to explain or comment on my reply.
b.  At what moment did you feel most distant from what the class was doing and what you were learning?  Again, be specific and explain why.  

I felt a little distant in capturing the message or getting caught up in the readings so i can participate the online discussion forum.

c.  What action did the professors or another student take that you found most helpful or affirming?  Be specific.  
When Dr. Brandon explain in detail about the time frame in which slavery existed.  I didn't think about how and what was happening at the time for the society to demand slave labor.

d. What action did anyone take that you found most puzzling or confusing?  Why?  How did you overcome your confusion? N/A

e.  What about the reading and discussion has added the most to the human condition?

 I gained some insight to how slavery was really like and most importantly i learned by reading the participating in the discussion.  I was touched and was emotional by the true story of a slave writer by Harriet Jacobs, " Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl"
