Reflection 1

   This class wasn’t hard at all at the start, but I did face some small problems.

   

From the first two classes, Mr. Hedley made us do two practice summaries. The subjects were the North African bustards and the Emirati Police night patrols. Since they were practice summaries, they were simple. They were simple and interesting at the same time.

   

The summarizing process is easy. All we had to do is read the whole passage and highlight only the important things in it, leaving all the examples and most of the facts behind. All in all, what we had to do is writing down the main idea of the subject that we're summarizing.

   

After two easy summaries, we got to do the real work. We were handed out two assessed summaries. It had to be between 100 to 150 words this time, Other than that you would get lower marks. They were about desert milk and desert survival. All of the students showed improvement in these two summaries, thanks to the two practice summaries. Everyone has followed Mr. Hedley's advice in leaving out the examples and facts.

   

Before everyone would pack their bags for Eid Al Adha, Mr. Hedley gave us a look around BibMe. He showed us the importance of accurate referencing prior to our upcoming personal 

assignment.

   We had made big progress in these weeks in learning summary skills and how to use BibMe
