Rubric:Cooperation::Blogpost:Identity

            In our language arts class we've been working on translating a rubric. The rubric was originally written in a more complex form of English, and our job was to simplify it into a more simple form of English, just like math. During this process of simplifying the rubric we have to cooperate with our teammates a lot. We had to decide who would do the different categories, and how are we going to show the difference between the different levels. I have no absolutely no offense to my other teammates, but can't they pay more attention on their assignment instead of chatting? One of them.... actually two of them stopped and began to chat after typing one line. That really disappointed me, since I am a impatient person.
          How does this rubric relate to me identity? Well, during the process when we were typing down the rubric, I wrote a jumbo combination of examples and details into the rubric. After, we got into a big group to decide how the final rubric should be, I received a whole big bucket of complaints about my category being too long. I absorbed the bucket of complaints, took a good look at it, and decided to take those advice into a lesson. My rubric was too long and I know that, but I can't find the reason why I made it so long. In the past, most of my writings were longer than my other classmates. Writing a ton lot and writing with many extra details is a weakness but also a strength for my writing. I often don't miss out the details and provide a better image to my readers when I write with extra details on the other hand, my writing might make my readers bored easier.
           The rubric assignment reflects on my personality, because it shows the way I write and shows how I cooperate with my teammates. Most of the time, I would be the one to take a step back and start compromising with the other people. Sometimes, when I think there is a really good and awesome idea, I would go for it and no one can stop me. This shows my impatient and wordy part of my identity, and I really like this part of my identity. These two parts of my identity helps me in my speed of working and the accuracy in working.

  1. I think the title of your post is really interesting. We were learning about analogies in LA so you had incorporated it into your title! There were some grammar mistakes and run-on sentences in the blog itself. Other than this the blog was pretty good. I think the title of your post is great. We were learning about analogies in LA so you had incorporated it into your title! I think that she should write more about your identity and other things that are evinced. For example, you could write about how you like or dislike working in groups. I understand that sometimes working in groups is not ideal because all of the off-tasks people. I also feel like that sometimes, and under these circumstances I start being angry and mad. I could say that I'm also impatient in situations like this. Talking about design, I could see that you like violet but in the title, there's some black pictures. So I'm still not sure if your favorite color is black or violet. Your blog name is really you that I could already hear you saying it! I could imagine you standing right in front of me, saying "It's......Kelly Hou It's Kelly!" enthusiastically with your powerful and confident voice!

  2. Kelly, the original focus of this post really drew my attention, starting with the title. You are absolutely right, details do make for good writing, and this post is a good example. Sometimes though details can make a piece confusing or unfocused, and this post has some of that too. Simply out of curiosity, what would you say is the most important idea in this post? What information might you cut or add to help make the most important idea come alive?
    I completely agree with Minnie about the fitting title of your blog. The black/white and purple color choices are also terrific!
