"Yeah!" Allison grinned. (The Mike Wazowski's) 1 Minute 'Til Midnight was the name of their band. It consisted of Aisha, the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Robyn, the lead guitarist, Allison, the drummer, and Kyle, the bassist. They could all sing (haha right except me), so they all did vocals in…

Why Did I Wait Until the Last Minute? As I sit here debating on a topic to write about for my latest assignment, all I can think is, “why did I leave this essay until the last minute?” I have had a good week or so to come up with a topic and start the writing process, yet here I sit with a blank Word Document in front of me which is not going to type itself. Why did I do this to myself? More importantly, why do I always procrastinate? When students procrastinate, they are deliberately…

Narrative is “the telling of a happening or connected series of happenings” (Denning 2009). This definition is ideal for our documentary as we told the history behind a small village, Dunchurch. Furthermore, as our title “1,000 Years In 5 Minutes- Dunchurch”, suggests, that our documentary will focus on the events that have had an effect on the village. As our sub-genre was expository, which is the more traditional form of documentary used to directly inform the targeted audience the essential…

“Stop, take a minute and think about your life.” Well this is exactly what I had to do to complete this assignment. The disability that I decided to imagine myself with was autism and being verbal. To be a student who has autism would mean that they could have trouble communicating what they want, have trouble in social situations, and they could have specific sensitivities to sound and/or touch. If a person is nonverbal, this does not mean that they can’t talk at all, it does mean that they…

Briefly (2-3 sentences) summarize the pattern in your results. Did you follow the expected pattern? If not, why do you think that is so? The pattern I noticed during the practice trial 1 was to go through and say the colors of the words which was simple and quick.
