What have you been doing to keep up with your reading schedule and prepare for Student-led Discussions? To keep up with my reading schedule I have been just looking over it to see what I need to do on the days that I gave myself something to do.  Also for upcoming Student-Led Discussions I have been reading chapters from my book every night to be prepared for class discussions. 
What is the most profound idea you have had as a result of your reading?  The most profound idea I have as a result of me reading is that many women that travel to visit Thailand or many southern countries from the U.S. are abducted and sold into trafficking for a very little amount of money.   

What is the most interesting idea that resulted from a student-led discussions in which you participated?  The most interesting idea that resulted from a student led discussion that I participated in was music and media. 

What are you enjoying?  I am enjoying the things that are going on in my book including a girl being abducted and being tricked into going to school. 

What do you find challenging?  The things I find challenging is connecting and giving feedback to other people’s books because my mind is already in another place from connecting to my book.

Based on the conversations and activities completed in the first module , what are your expectations for this course ? 
After reviewing the first module my expectations for English IV are very high.  I expect the course to be filled with many different ways of learning according to other people's learning styles.  I think that the Instructor will expect high expectations of us because we are English IV scholars and expect all work to be done on time and grade appropiate.  After taking this class we will be well prepared for are college courses and have a new vocabulary of words.  I dont have many concerns but the only thing i'll be worried about is writing essays and keeping up with online assignments.  I am looking forward to things that im use to doing and also things that put me at a disadvantage.  Im really looking forward to passing this course and gaining different skills that i can use for english later on in the years.
