Glad You Came

Thesis statement, first paragraph and peer - review of the song. 

Reflection

1. What ideas from today's session could you CONNECT with? Perhaps think about what you already knew about proof reading and collaboration to respond to this question.
Today I could connect to some ideas of proof reading because I was practically just getting the same comments in a recorded or face-to-face way. Instead of having comments written down in a paper there were given in real life or in a recording. This way I also got constructive criticism so that I could improve my work to try to achieve a better piece of writing. This way of proof-reading helped me a little more because it gave me a more general idea of what I could improve on so that I could make better my whole work not just a small part. This way of collaboration was very similar to having editing in a paper because there was a way that I could improve.

2. What new learning did you have today about proof reading and collaboration? How did this learning session EXPAND your understanding of communication?

Today I learned that voice recording proof reading could also be very important and beneficial because you get another point of view to your writing. Collaboration helps you find errors in your work that normally one would not see them themselves. That proofreading can be as important as writing the piece because it is were all the imperfections are taken out. This learning helped me expand my understanding of communication because it helped me open my mind to new ideas for proofreading and how communication is important.

3. In what ways did the proof reading feedback CHALLENGE your ideas in your intro + paragraph 1? What suggestions were made that helped you to see your work in a new way?
The proof reading feedback helped me and challenged me to improve my righting because now I knew that I had to try to achieve better. I got higher standards so that I could have the best work possible. The feedback helped make my ideas better and plan out what I could improve for the next paragraphs. The best suggestion that I believe was made was that I should check the grammar and sentence structure of my work to try to make the work as best as possible. I also found out that it is better to plan or write out my work beforehand so there was less probability of making mistakes.

4. From your learning experience today, what does it mean to be collaborative? What are the advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face collaboration? What are the advantages and disadvantages of technological collaboration (not face-to-face)?

I believe that collaborative means helping other improve their piece of writing. Proof reading so that they can achieve the best possible. Editing all the mistakes but also pointing out the positive things so that they can keep doing it that way. The advantages of face-to-face collaboration are that you can make the changes in front of the person so that they will stop doing them and learn from their mistakes. You can also be more detailed while explaining and give visual examples. The disadvantages are that if you are shy maybe you will not give strong enough feedback. The advantages of technological collaboration are that the feedback stays there so that you can read and check it again and again. The disadvantages are that many people if you are camera shy you might not want to talk and if you want to consult or ask something it may be more difficult. 

Glad You Came - The Wanted

THESIS

The Wanted's "Glad You Came" conveys the idea of accompaniment. Through the songs title, connotation and attitude, this idea can clearly seen and described. It describes how it is good to be accompanied when you hand out or go out as it will make you feel cheerful and content. 

PARAGRAPH 1

The title of The Wanted's song gives a first clue of how they are trying to convey the idea of accompaniment. The title is "Glad You Came" meaning that the person talking in the song feels good that they are accompanied. Separately they use repetition to because they repeat this phrase many times.  They try to emphasize this idea is important and they might want you to remember it and make it stick in your head. The title clearly explains how accompaniment can make you happy because The Wanted says that they are "Glad" meaning they are happy that "You Came" meaning some came come and made them happy (predictable a girl).

LYRICS

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
