Reflective Essay

Coming up with an idea for the project was not hard at all. How i was going to expand it into an essay, now that was a different story. Day after day i saw everybody in the class getting work done, except me. untill i realized that if i dont start i can't finish. So i got off to a rocky start, but with alot of hard work i got through it. My project was on how being bilingual can be of help when you are reading. I used two articles we had read together in the class and a different one that bonnie helped me to find to help me and show my idea. i also surveyed students, so that i may see different point of views from other students. I found that alot of students are infact bilingual but do not see it as an advantage like i do. This project proved to be interesting, especially since we get to choose the subject on which we do it on. I got a chance to see how other students think, and that helped me to understand a little more about how some students feel about their ability to speak a language other than english. This project was neither successful or unsuccessful, it was simply informative. This was a good idea for a project because at the same time that we are showing how we think and why we think in that way, we are improving our writing abilities, and learning both from ourselves and others. I hope that i can get through our next project as smoothly as i did this one, without the late start though.
