Workshops: One that Would Work for Me and One that Would Propose a Challenge

The workshop on formative assessment will prove to be most easy for me to implement because it provided samples to use. With a variety of examples to utilize, I will be able to pick through them and discern which ones best suit a given project; this does not require any creating or time on my part.

As opposed to the workshop on FLOW, which I will struggled with because it will require me to be imaginative and think outside of the box. Unfortunately, I often struggle with being creative when it comes to different ways to stimulate writing. I will most definitely need to explore the philosophy and ideas promoted within FLOW. Perhaps then, I will feel more comfortable with the concepts and it will come more easily. In addition, I struggle with the feeling that beginning FLOW activities may not be seen as valid or worthy to the writing process and therefor I won’t be able to justify in words “what” I am doing and the “why”.
