Looking back on what we have accomplished

In the class we have done a lot of writing and reading and then writing about the reading some of it has been interesting and some of it has not been interesting.  All of the activity’s in class being able to talk to more people about the work and then helping each other be showing them where we thank that they can make it better has been really beneficial in helping us develop our writing skills.  Some of the main topics that where most noticeable were 1.1 where is says to produce texts using the appropriate formats which was in about every paper we wrote, 1.3 summarize reading, and 1.5 which is to follow a thesis statement.  There are more but those where the most noticeable to me.
For 1.1 we had to do in every single essay for the most part since it seemed you were more looking for the parts about are we able to keep the readers on track with a reasonable tone where someone could read through the paper and not forget what the topic is or to not get lost and sort of see your view point on how you looked at the reading.  For in the first easy where we had to write about the banking concept I know I made a lot of grammar mistakes and then I tried to make my next easy have less grammar mistakes by looking at the feedback that you gave and talking to you in class.
In the second assignment you invited us to go another way in the style of our writing this seemed to go with the documentation style portion of 1.1 where we get a style that still flows together and has a tone that is still recognizable.  For this one I started to write it in a different style then I normal do but I could not get it to sound like me and I could not find out a way to contrive my thoughts in a different way then I normally do.  I ended up starting over on the paper writing it in the same manner as the first assignment where it sounded more like myself and not a bunch of garbled words.

Now we have all of the blog post that we have had to write for the class.  This also goes with the style in 1.1 where we are writing in a less formal environment where we are able to convey ideals in a more fluid way more like when you are talking to the person and able to put more emotion into the writing.  This is what I got out of the blog post.  Also with the blog’s we were introduced to another form of communication that some of us are not used to using and took us more out of our comfort zone then normal and this was a good experience where we need to know about all the different forms of communication ideals to one another.

Evolution of Toys

For this info-graphic I thought it was very interesting for it shows the evolution of popular toys over the years.  This infographic shows the evolution in a very traditional way in that it is just a timeline so you can see how much it changes over the years.  The infographic does not have very many woods and the woods that are used are just there to tell you what year it came out.  I do not thank that there is much of an argument in the infographic but if I had to make an argument for it is that it would be a very good help when you are trying to argue that kids are using less of a creative mind and more of just entertainment. 
Well how the infographic uses words with the pictures is that it is chowing you what year and what toy was popular that year is all that is uses the words for and the layout is just like a timeline so it is very hard for you to get lost in the year that you are and the layout very nicely that you can understand what it is showing.  If you had this as a normal report is would most likely be just a list and there might be a little description of the item explaining what is and what is looks like so people would be able to understand what they are.  For a lot of people showing a picture of the toy reminds them of what the toy is and if they have used it before.
This can easily just be called a timeline of toys but you need to look at what the infographic is saying and look at the toys that are the most popular at the time to see that there is a theme that is going on at the toys evolve and that is that they are getting less and less toys and game that use the imagination instead they are going towards there they are just for entertainment for you started with toys that you had to come up with scenarios yourself and use your imagination to come up with the scenarios that you will need to play with multiply people which would also increase you social skills and your curative skills at the same time since you are using for of your mind than just the part that you need to process information and relay it back.

The design of the infographic is very easy to follow but would best be used in connection to another argument if you were trying to show how the evolution of toys as changed over the past fifty years also if you wanted to show how technology has changed is our everyday lives and how now it seems like there is no way in getting away from it for it seems like even the younger kids that they can do very little without technology even to keep their selves entertained. This infographic can be taken in many different arguments depending on the way someone wants to look at it.  For this article it seemed like it was more towards the evolution of toys along with technology in how it has changed our daily lives and that of younger generations and on how we are teaching the younger generations.
