"Lessons from a Group Newsletter Project"

I recently worked on a group project to create a newsletter, which was a valuable learning experience in teamwork. While I didn’t take on an official leadership role, I did take the initiative to guide the team, helping everyone understand their tasks and keeping things moving forward. It showed me how even a small step can greatly impact the group’s progress.

One of the biggest lessons I learned was how important communication is in group work. By regularly checking in with each other, we avoided confusion and ensured everyone knew how their parts fit into the project. Without that consistent communication, things could have easily gotten off track.

Another thing I realized is how helpful it is to set clear deadlines. Having a timeline gave us something to work toward and kept us focused on getting our parts done. It created a sense of accountability and made sure we stayed on track.

Finally, before finishing up the project, we took time to review the newsletter as a group. This allowed us to catch mistakes and improve the overall quality of the final product. It was a great reminder of how taking initiative, communicating, and working together can lead to a successful outcome.

  What role has writing played in your life previously? After deep thinking about how writing has helped or influenced my life, I can say it has played an important role. I searched and learned that writing is “…a way to communicate ideas and thoughts... and can be used for a variety of purposes, including Reasoning, problem-solving, communication, and thinking.” Based on what I learned, I remembered that I have been blessed with this skill; I know I am not perfect and may make mistakes every day, but I know that it has been of great help in my life. During my high school years, writing not only helped me get good grades but also taught me to be cautious when expressing my thoughts and ideas. Later in life, with social media becoming popular, I realized and noticed how important it is to communicate with correct grammar and punctuation so there is no misinterpretation. And again, when I became an adult and started college and working, writing became a fundamental part of my life ti...

PELÍCULAS DE TERROR

PELÍCULAS DE TERROR Aun cuando el título de este artículo se refiere a las películas de terror, también haré referencia a otros tipos de películas para explicar mi punto. Según la enciclopedia web “Wikipedia” (con esto no quiero decir que “Wikipedia es la única fuente) dice que las películas  “…de terror es un género cinematográfico que se caracteriza por su voluntad de provocar en el espectador sensaciones de pavor, terror, miedo, disgusto, repugnancia, horror, incomodidad o preocupación. Sus argumentos frecuentemente desarrollan la súbita intrusión en un ámbito de normalidad de alguna fuerza, evento o personaje de naturaleza maligna ,  a menudo de origen criminal o sobrenatural.” Esta semana se estrenaba la película “Annabelle”, no sabía nada de esa película hasta que algunos amigos empezaron a comentar sobre ella, de hecho hasta me entere que es a base de un libro y es un caso “casi real”. Todos estaban casi como locos por querer verla. No voy a nega...

  Sensationalism vs. Newsworthy Have you ever started reading a story and couldn’t stop? Sometimes it’s the drama that pulls you in, and other times the information feels important. Sensational stories grab your attention with shocking details and strong emotions, but they often don’t have much meaning. In contrast, newsworthy stories keep you interested by giving useful information and facts that help you understand important issues. Whether it’s through sensationalism or newsworthy journalism, the way a story is told can either make you feel emotional or give you real knowledge, and it’s important to recognize the difference. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic showed a clear difference between newsworthy and sensational stories. A newsworthy article might have a headline like “Guidance for surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 variants: Interim guidance, 9 August 2021.” This type of article gives facts about new health measures, explains why they are important, and includes expert opin...
