I’m getting a much later start on my journal entry for the week. I guess you could say I just wanted to have fun. Apple Day was Saturday, which is the festival for Johnson County, and we always go to the car show and walk around looking at arts and crafts. So I definitely got sidetracked on my 315 assignments. These fun times are the reason why I always try to finish my assignments ahead of time.

I have been thinking about my genres and how I plan on developing them. Even though I talked to Ms. McComas on Wednesday and she explained about unifying them I still don’t have a clear picture of what my unifying genre will be. It made a lot of sense using The Christmas Story, as an example with the ghosts of the past and future bringing the story together but my imagination isn’t that great. She assured me its okay to have the little picture first and work towards the big picture and this did make me feel a whole lot better. So I’m hoping to get inspired between now and then.

The PowerPoint presentation was awesome! I’ve been thinking about it every since then. Since mine is focusing on self-image I thought about using a background with mirrors or something reflective. I feel like I should have a lot of options with this subject. My only problem with this is my computer isn’t equipped with PowerPoint. It has something called the wizard for presentations. Oh well I’ll have to check with my niece since she just recently purchased a new Dell.

Aim and objectives for the week are: practice drafting a poem and complete my assignments ahead of schedule.
