Overview

For my projects, I hope to better learn the history of London through the history of photography (iconic images) and transportation systems. I also hope to learn more about the famous writers that came out of London. I have taken two writing classes thus far and am currently enrolled in one. I hope to appreciate London more deeply when I am finished. Any tourist can appreciate beautiful scenery and iconic landmarks, but it takes a special type of person to appreciate the city's history.

Activity Journal

The activity journal represents an ongoing log of reflections gained through each and every project activity on the calendar.

Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, and The British Library

Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, and [[The British Library}}, did not directly relate to my milestones. I feel that the background history may relate to my milestones as I dive deeper into them. I do not this affected my milestone aims. I may change them to incorporate royal or war history but the topics will likely remain the same. The tombs of Westminster Abbey stood out to me because some did not have bodies under them. I felt this was odd because I do not see the point of putting a tomb if there is no body. The Tower of London was cool with the torture devices and rooms where they used to defend the castle. The ravens were also cool but kind-of freaked me out a bit. The walk around the wall was nice. It gave a different perspective of the castle. The British Library was interesting. The huge cube of rare books in the center gives the library the feeling that this place houses all the information one could ever need. It adds an enigma of exactly how many books are in it. I was surprised to hear they do not keep any books in the library to check out. If you need material, you must order it 48 hours ion advance.

Think of this process as building a platform or a case that will help you make particular claims and conclusions through your project milestones.

Activity #2 Name

A paragraph for your personal reflection for another activity on our calendar goes here, just it was outlined in the previous example. Repeat this same process for the remaining activities. Whenever there's an activity on the calendar, complete an activity journal reflection.

Category Tags

Category tags for your profile page must include 1) the tag [[Category:Profiles]] and 2) the present year in which you are participating in the London HUA experience, and 3) the advisor(s) tags; that's it!

Do not list any other tags especially "Project Category" pages as you do for Milestone pages.
Do not list all of the categories available in this page; list only the categories related to your three milestones.
Do not add the Template Pages category to any of your pages :)

For example:

[[Category:Profiles]]

plus the year the project was completed by you, like this:

[[Category:2017]]

-Add a paragraph about this experience noting the ways in which it related to one or more of your milestone aims. Did this experience directly relate to your milestones, or was the relation more indirect? In what ways did this experience cause you to think differently about your milestone aims? What were some of your other takeaways from the experience? For each site-specific term that you enter, check to see if there is a page in this wiki that exists and link to it. For example, if your reflection mentions William Shakespeare, check to see if [[William Shakespeare]] exists on this site. '''If an article page does exist''', 1) link to it here,  and 2) edit the page with a section or just a few sentences to ensure that the content on that page relates to this activity journal entry. For example, if while writing your activity journal reflection about your trip to Westminster Abbey, you recall seeing the headstone of William Shakespeare, note it in your reflection, and then edit the [[William Shakespeare]] with, at least, a sentence or two in an appropriate section about having a memorial site in Westminster Abbey. While your at it, edit the entry for Westminster Abbey with the relevant information. Did you take some interesting pictures or videos at those sites? Add those to the relevant pages. '''If an article page does not exist''', create the page for the missing topic (link from main menu) and add some general information. For each activity scheduled on our calendar, you should 1) create an Active Journal Entry here, and 2) add/edit '''at least''' three related articles. The tone of this article can be personal, but still quality professional writing; the tone of article pages that you edit should be objective professional writing.
