Since I started this class I have been analyzing myself and the way I think of behavior in the choices I make. I have been writing a paper called the habits of mind discussing how I behave, the choices I have made, if I will make them again, and why or why not? In addition I have been talking about reproducing knowledge, and producing knowledge as I reproduce and produce knowledge in my paper. I have been reviewing the sixteen habits of mind as well to pick which ones I relate to the most. One of the habits of mind I found I relate to the most is thinking about my thinking where I use the way I analyze situations, and the choices I make to reanalyze and reproduce a different solution for a similar problem. I have also been working on my next page called favorite discussing my favorite things. Some of my favorite things are blue nose, and red nose pit bulls. In addition my favorite movies are the hulk, iron man , and the protector. I have also been working on a more recent piece called irony where I give my own definition of irony, and explain it. Irony is just a spontaneous event that occurs weather someone expects it or not. It can not be controlled, and it takes part of our everyday lives. Irony is everywhere and can be anything like humans we are ironic just as every other organism on earth. A more in depth example of irony is a movie with the hero constantly prevailing then just when the movie is over,and the hero has won every ones heart he turns out to be a villain and kills the actual hero. this is irony because weather it was expected or not it was a turn of events that throws you off. Now that I am done with these pieces I am doing what is know as peer review where I read over other pieces of work and give my point of view on what my classmates, and other write. In addition my peers read my work as well, and tell me what they think, as well as ask questions if they have any. The whole point of peer review is to learn from one another to be able to reproduce, and more importantly produce newly found ideas as well as giving others the opportunity to do the same. I feel this is a prefect chance to broaden my ideas and stay open minded to other possibilities and ideas about how people see things. In doing so I am able to reflect and find a more logic out look on things like the definition of irony. There might even be information I could have used to support my debate but I missed it. That is what makes peer review so great because someone may or may not have the same idea or ideas that I have missed and I can use this to recreate more logic and common sense on the topic I choose to write about. The newest thing I have learned was to make sure it is clear about what I am working on, and if I followed my assignment. So I learned how to make a link to my assignments page to let anyone reviewing my work know why I am working on the topics I wrote about. I am finishing up my work as my time in this school comes to a slow end. Now I am discussing how to have a good title for my readers to understand. Having the correct title can determine if the reader has an idea on what my work is about, or if they are lost from the start.
