Self Assessment

 

These past four weeks have been very challenging, and I have had to make a huge number of adjustments. For example, before entering this class I was so custom to writing essays and perfecting them to succeed in my past English classes. This semester is more of a challenge because now I must learn how to write a blog post and adjust to the requirements of creating a blog. Its a big stepping stone coming from a form or writing I was taught to do for years and now learning to put my same ideas into a different form of writing.


The last four blogs I have written met majority of the rubric requirements but, I feel like I need to work on the outline of my blogs and how I word them. The stressful part about writing a blog is trying to carefully choose which words will reach your audience the best. It is a lot different from writing essays because now many of people can view my work and writing publicly which causes me to put a lot more pressure on myself. To become a better blogger and student in this class I need to put a lot more time and effort into my blogs. I tend to procrastinate, and it shows through my writings. I would also like for us to discuss in class how the outline of the blog post should look because although our professor posted an example outline, I would like to go in-depth about it for further understanding. 


Overall, I like that we have expanded our writing into blogs and learned a new form of writing. This class has taught me that there are thousands of blogs post everyday which is mind blowing. I have also learned that bloggers can also get paid for what they do, and blogging can be a source of income. Lastly, I have learned that all blogs are not personal some can be very informative.

Historical Highlights of Anguilla

The island of Anguilla was the home for many Arawaks before disappearing and being colonized by the British in 1950. The island was later attacked and harassed by many neighboring islands, French, and Indian settlers because of its resources and location for trade. During the 17 th century they began to experience privation because the need for tobacco and cotton the island's cash crop had decreased. Although the need of tobacco had decreased the need for sugar in Europe had increased causing the island settlers to begin growing sugarcane. Sugar had become the island's source of income and to meet demands of sugar the settlers began using slave labor. Anguilla economic development continued to be unsettled because of the continuous attacks by the French. In 1825 the British government gave Saint Kitts the power to make all laws for Anguilla. Many Anguillan people opposed the idea and protested the power of Saint Kitts. In 1834 Britain ended slavery in the colonies causing the

Getting to know my island

Antigua History Antigua was colonized by English settlers in 1632 and continued to be under British ruling. Over the years Antigua was continuously attacked by outside island settlers. Tobacco was the prominent crop grown for trade and money until they learned that sugar was more profitable. The increase of sugar being made caused them to get slaves from Africa. Which later influences the culture of Antigua. Political Events  After slavery being abolished in 1834, the economy of Antigua began to take a turn for the worst. Since there was no longer any slavery as a source of income there were many revolts to try to fix the economy. For example, the Antigua Trades Labor Union was created by workers and peasants around this time. Antigua Culture Many of the people on the island are Afro-Antiguan because of the slavery in the early years. Antigua cultural heritage is a mix of African heritage and colonialism causing the high spirited and energetic culture.  They have many carnivals, opera
