Reflection

Zoe & Ivy: At first, Ivy mentioned that she would like to use a relevant movie in her annotation 3. I think it was not convincing enough since usually in annotation 3, we should try to utilize foreign examples to deepen one’s points of view. I think maybe Zoe and Ivy can change their order of annotations if they still decide to use the movie .

Cassie & Vincent: In their annotation 3, they wanted to do some research on the foreign examples of undeclared major. I think it was really good because in their annotation 2, they used information from authoritative authors, each one of their annotations went further and deeper in their main points. I have to learn from their skills and write my next annotation with deeper perspective.

Perly & Joanne: They originally planned to interview high school students about their views toward uniforms. Professor Liang then answered that that was useless interviewing high school students because what they thought resembled what college students thought. Her answer actually shocked me because she immediately cut to the point. What we need to do was find as many views as possible. For Perly and Joanne, they could probably probe into the origin of uniforms and talks about the uniform differences between distinct companies. I think their annotations would be interesting. From their discussion, I also realize that to write an amusing article is as significant as writing a convincing one.

Ruby & Emma: At first, we planned to use a book which talks about the moral problems of abortion in annotation 3. And my annotation 4 was originally about the physical harm after women taking abortion. However, after discussing with Professor Liang, she suggested that since our annotation 1 and 2 were about what happens in Taiwan, in the annotation 3 and 4, we can start to find examples in foreign countries. For instance, people who live in a Catholicism country cannot take abortion. And we can take a look at foreign laws about whether abortion is legal or not. It is definitely not convincing enough when we only talks about what happens in Taiwan and ignore global eyeshot.    

Kevin & Alice: In Kevin’s annotation 1, about his resource, he didn’t know the author and his or her background. I think this was a pity as actually he wrote a good article and made his idea clear in annotation 1. As for Alice, I like her idea to find resources from TED. Many famous people or people who specialized in specific fields were invited to have a talk on TED. This one was quite impressive and deepened her points of views.
