Review the Weekly Activities for Week 2. Write a brief report - 150-200 words minimum - with at least five sentences and two paragraphs. Submit this as a Word document. The report should address: What areas did I have difficulty with and what areas did I find easy to understand? Was I successful in my time management or did I run out of time to complete my work to a high-quality level? Are there any changes I should make in my approach to the class for future weeks? Questions remaining after reading discussions related to weekly learning activities.

It is difficult to answer this question in detail, as it is a personal question that is based on your experience. However, we can provide some help that will allow you to better understand how to approach these questions.

When reviewing your work, think about the time that you have invested in different topics or tasks. If you spent a lot of time on a particular assignment, it is likely that you also found this difficult. Moreover, if you are not particularly proud of the work you submitted in a particular assignment, then it is likely that the quality was not good enough or that you did not succeed in your time management. These are the areas that would most likely benefit from a change in your approach for future weeks.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
