Learning Plan
The learning plan assignment was interesting. While I hated it, I liked it. But the hate wins out.
While it is provoking and intriguing, it is annoying. (I would write annoying in capital letters, but I do not think that that is blog-assignment appropriate. Know, though, that I want to write "annoying" in capital letters.)
The double-edged sword analogy works for this.
The double-edged sword analogy: both sides of the blade can cut which is a problem when blocking an overhead slash because a hand is needed to support the upper-edge of the blade. Hence, in order to stop from being killed, the warrior has to injure himself.
Because each person has arrived at different conclusions from all the self-analysis work we have done, the learning plan has to target a wide variety of topics in order to draw out emotion from each student. This way everyone has a topic that really hit home for them. But, because there is so much, it is almost too much. I wanted to talk about my strengths and weaknesses a lot more, but I couldn't because I had 4930850928 other things to touch upon. For me, the assigment ended up uneven. Half of it I wrote really well, the other half, I did not care. I already had written so much, I lost interest.
I understand why it is how it is, but I still hated doing it. It does its job, though.
