The most important topic in EDU 106 is plagiarism. I have learned how to avoid plagiarism and how to cite other sources properly. For example, in Lives on the Boundary, the author, Mike Rose presents a situation in which a student is involved in the boundary of plagiarism. By the example that Marita is accused by plagiarism, I know that I can’t combined some words and sentences from old encyclopedia. When I want to use other’s ideas or points, I should paraphrase the original sentences. Paraphrasing is really a difficult problem for me, I always have some mistakes about verb tense and propositions. In the future writing study, I will do my best to avoid these mistakes.

For my argument assignment, I think the most difficult challenge is how to find proper examples and other sources to support my argument, especially find a specific case. I spend much time to find enough proper examples for my argument essay.

I cost the whole quarter to finish my digital story. At the beginning of the quarter, I worked for my script to make sure my story is interesting. Then, I recorded for my story. I recorded three times in total to let me satisfied with my voice. At last, I found interesting and proper pictures on the Internet to make my digital story understood by audiences easily. Fortunately, when I finished my project, I love it. I believe I do my best for it!
