Bantu Blog Post Rank-Talk-Write Link: https://create.twu.ca/b4ntu/2018/05/17/learning-activity-2-rank-talk-write/ I really liked how you tied the concept of “Designing our Boxes” to the need for setting goals and a direction so that the next “box” doesn’t end up being just a dream rather than a reality, and the “steps would be faint for what to do next” (I […]
As already expressed by many of my fellow students this was an exercise that proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated.
