Partcipating Students's Reflections
 
 

Our groups biggest strength was having a chance to put our heads together and come up with wonderful ideas that could help us get further in our assignment. We concentrated on each other's ideas and used as many of them as we possibliy could. Another of our greatest strength was not only sharing our ideas but applying our knowledge in computers amongst one another, so we did not have much truoble using the computer for the type of thing we were working on... I really enjoyed working in my group and that I got a chance to construct a web page. I have never done that before and so this was my first time and I loved it!

This is my first time creating a web page for a school project and is also my first time creating a web page from scratch. Prior to this project, my knowledge on HTML was limited and my web pages were very basic designs, but now, I gained a lot of knowledge and tricks on making a good web page.... After close reading Romeo and Juliet, I noticed the brilliance in the writing of Shakespeare. Shakspeare has a great but unorthodox ways of using words and thoughts to describe things...

Creating a web page on the internet was extremely difficult. The reason for that is because I'm not good with computers, therefore I had to gain a lot of patience in order to learn and produce a creative web page. My initial reaction when I heard of this assignment was that it would be an easy assignment to accomplish, instead it turned out to be the opposite. All the effort, hard work and time that was put into this project was exhausting. However, I feel that Sarah and I kept up with the pace and in the end we produced an outstanding web page. The weaknesses that Sarah and I encountered was the burden of not planning effective;y. It caused a lot of stress and did not allow us to have much time to explore new ideas. On the positive side, one of our main strengths that Sarah and I experienced throughout working together was acknowledging the true meaning of team wrok. We shared ideas, made decisions together, compared each other's view, but best of all, we did it together equally.

Working on the Internet Independent Study for William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet really helped me understand the book a lot more. I never understood pretty much all of the historical or classical references before, but now that I have done a little researhc, I know were they come from and why they are used. Also, there used to be some words that I would just guess the meaning on, but now I undertand what they actually mean. This also helps me understand some of the tension that was built up that late led to Tybalt's death. Lastly, this assignment gave me very in depth insights on the three character's that were in my portion of the assignment. This helped me understand those characters' reactions to certain situations later on in the book. There are maany more things that I have learned through working on this assignment, but I will not say them all, but what I will say is that learning is an infinite process. It never stops.
