What did you learn most about MMP?
What did you hate about MMP?
Write five things you learned from the MMP that you have not learned before
Write the three hardest challenges/problems you have faced in MMP\
Would you recommend MMP to other students? Why or Why not!
What I learned the most about the MMP was how to create a website, which I never thought I would be able to do, and I learned it was not difficult at all to create. It just seems very intimidating because most web sites are extremely colorful and have many different things on them. To create a simple website to inform people of something is not hard at all.
I did not really hate anything about the MMP project, It was kind of annoying trying to get together with every one when we all were on such different schedules. Otherwise I did not hate anything about this project, at the time I did think it was stupid, but once we were presenting them, I learned quiet a bit about each different subject and how to target a specific media.
I learned how to create a website to inform people of something you believe in or is impotant to you.
I learned a great deal about power point presentations that I did not realize or know before. I always thought a powerpoint should be as colorful and creative as possible, and it is actually the opposite. The simpler it is, and the least amount of effects is better.
I learned there is a website you can go to, to create a childrens book which is think is the coolest thing ever. People can print their own childrens book or kids can create their own childrens book and have it printed and everything for a very cheap price.
I learned that to put interviews or personal things on the internet of someone else, you need to have them sign a form saying that okayed having you put it on the internet, if you don't you can get in big trouble, possibly be fined or suied.
I learned that there is also a website for making a comic strip, I think that is really creative and could help many students out in school that need to create comics of fun things for projects and are not extremely creative themselves.
One hard challenge I faced was coming up with a good media to direct our website to. It was difficult because we did not know which age group would be the best to target.
Another hard thing I faced was trying to find the right time to get together with the group. Our discussion leader did not do the best job of trying to contact us all and find time to get together. She was gone for the first week of our project which made it difficult. The reporter took over and did a great job of getting us all together, but it was frusterating for all of us.
The problems we faced were not extremely difficult, there were a few minor set backs and disagreements. The hardest thing of all was getting everything on the website and having it all look good and flow good together.
Yes I would recommend the MMP to other students because it is a great project to help students learn about all the different types of resources are out there. I think many students would agree that they learned a lot about the powerpoint presentation and how to create a website. I really did learn a lot about creating a website, a powerpoint, a childrens book. I was surprised by how many people mistaken how a power point should be. I think this should be a project for every english class. I really did learn a lot from this project and it was nice to get away from writing a paper.

Do you believe in the necessity of this project for your furture goals?
I believe in the necessity of this project for my future goals because I think it will help me develop skills that will help later in life. I was gone the day the project was introduced, so I am a little unsure as to what exactly I am going to be doing and what the project is about. I know it has to do with our research paper and I think it is a good idea to put that to use more and teach us that a paper can not only be written and then be done with it, there are many other things you can do with it after you have written the paper.
I have not been introduced to the project in-depth yet. I know a few things about it but I am still unsure as to what exactly it is about and what me and my group will be doing. Right now I am confused because I only know a small amount of information about the project.
I do not have many concerns at this point because I do not know everything I am going to be doing. I am sure once I know more about the project and what we will be doing, I will then have concerns. Maybe about finding time to get together with my group because my schedule is so busy and it is nearing the end of the year, I am very busy with all of my other classes.

Peer- Review
1. This assignment was very helpful, the peer review is always helpful because not only does someone correct your paper and you get an outside opinion but you also get to read someone else's paper. That helps me very much because sometimes I am unsure of how the paper is suppose to be exactly and whether how I wrote it was correct. So reading another classmates paper usually helps me the most to see if another person wrote it like I did or if I wrote it completely wrong.
2. What I liked most about it was that it helps point out mistakes that I may have missed or would not be able to see because it is my paper and it helps to have an outside view.
I did not hate anything about it, it was not a painful assignment to do. It was fairly easy and helps me improve my paper.
3. The most useful comment that I received was to state my criteria and reason in different paragraphs and then explain the criteria and give examples. I was very unsure about that part on what to do and how to write it. Also what helped was that I was stating new criteria in my conclusion paragraph and I would have never noticed that.
4. I am going to change a lot in this paper. I need to change how I state my criteria and I need to put reasoning for it. I will change my conclusion and how I evaluate the criteria and movie. I have a lot to work on but I really like that the Prof. revises the paper also because he gives up feed back that most of the students would not pick up on either. It is very helpful to me and makes me understand stuff better and how to do it better for the future.

Reflection
What did you like/hate the most about it?
What I liked the most about this paper was finding out information on my topic. My topic was physicians assisted suicide and it is a very interesting topic. I learned a lot from writing this paper and I hope if others read my paper they will find it very interesting too. What I hated most about this paper was the time frame, I felt very rushed and was under a lot of stress. The writing center stressed me out because I could not make it in there twice.
What was the most useful thing you learned?
The most useful thing I learned about writing this paper was that I did not know how to write an argumentative paper before this and now I feel I could write many of them. Also going to the writing center had helped a lot. I will now go to the writing center for all of my papers just so I can have another outlook on my paper and to try and perfect it.
What was the hardest thing to do in the paper?
The hardest thing for me to do in this paper was to refute and argue my topics. That was very challenging for me to and also very tricky. I found that I had to think the hardest at those points to try and make everything make sense and have everything tie in together. I also have trouble with the thesis. That is always the hardest part to come up with for me, after the I figure out the thesis the paper is pretty easy after that.

The Whole World
If the whole world had to listen to you, what would you say?
If the whole world had to listen to me, I would have a lot to say. I would say that everyone needs to stop wasting their lives away.. Our world is rushing by us and everyone needs to take a step back and stop and relax. No one needs to be fighting or killing anyone. It is getting our world no where besides in debt. I would tell everyone that "the power of love needs to overcome the love of power." (Jimi Hendrix) Our world is so concerned with who has the most power and who is in control. That is not as important as everyones lives and everyone trying to get along. Our world is fighting eachother over stupid reasons that in the end aren't worth people dying everyday for. If the entire world would take my advice I would tell them to quit being so greedy with money and power and think about others instead of ourselves. The money we spend on war could be spent helping children who don't have food or a bed to go to sleep in at night. Yet that doesn't matter to someone who only cares about who has the most money or who has the biggest most powerful army out of everyone. These things shouldn't matter to people, what should matter is that everyone is fed at every meal and no one is left alone at night in the cold with no place to go. I wish everyone would find love in their hearts and stop being so greedy. If our whole world stopped caring about greed and money and power, Our world would be a lot better place.

Ashamed
The Saying "Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity" Horace Mann
I am not positive how to interpret this saying or what the actual meaning is. After some thought I believe this saying means that it is okay to be ashamed to die unless you have won a victory for humanity. Which I think is saying that if you have done something to change humanity or make a big difference for humanity then you should not be ashamed to die. I think no one should be ashamed to die no matter how they are dieing or what they have accomplished in life because death is a natural thing that every human being will experience. It is normal and no matter who you are, death is waiting for you at some point down the road whether it is in a few months or in a few decades. No one should be ashamed to die. Not many people can make a big enough difference for humanity unless they spend their entire life trying to accomplish that one goal. Which some great people in history have done so but it isn't very common.

Time Machine
If you had a time machine and could travel in time, where would you go? Why?
If I had a time machine, I would travel back in time to the Elizabethan period. This is my favorite time because everything was very exciting and there were so many rules. I would love to live in that period and be very high up in the social status. I love all the very elaborate dresses the women wore and the beautiful jewlery. I would dress up so nice everyday and get to wear beautiful hats to match my dresses. Everything from that period in time interests me. I think it would also be very scary because there were so many rules and back then, they could chop your head off at any time for any reason they wanted to. It would be very thrilling and exciting to experience all the historical events that occured in that time period. I would love to return home then after about five years and being all the stuff I could back with me and tell everyone here what it was like.
