Copyright Law

Today we started off by proofreading some blog extracts from the previous day. I found this activity to be useful because it helped show the techniques required for proofreading. We then moved on to watching probably one of the cheesiest videos I have seen in a long time and it did not exactly sell the place well. The video was cheesy but it was still fun to watch as it was different to what we usually do. We then had to put a list of words on the board into a positive and a negative section. I felt this exercise was to me very pointless because I already knew about which words were positive and negative. We then went outside and threw a scrunched up piece of paper at each other while stating what our biggest achievement was so far. I felt this task was fun and enjoyable and it was different from just staying indoors and talking about it. We then moved on to talking about assignment four which was to talk about copyright law, who it might affect and how to protect against copyright. I felt the assignment has gone well so far but I still need to add pictures and more detail. Finally we looked at the common mistakes made in assignment two. The main mistake was that people kept putting capital letters in the wrong places. I thought this exercise was helpful because I now know what kind of mistakes to look out for when proofreading my work.

I enjoyed the activity outside the most because it was fun and we got to know what the class liked and did not like. We also got to throw paper at each other which is always fun. I did not enjoy listing the positive and negative words as I felt that most of the class already knew which are which.

I feel I do not need any help at this stage although this may change in the near future now that I have two assignments to be working on one of which is the assignment two re submission and the other being assignment four talking about copyright law.

Overall today was a good day as we did some fun activities like watching some weird videos and going outside although there were some negatives like my assignment two and some of the other activities.
