Self- Assessment

 Blog Post #5 


From reading the rubric on the assignments page for our blogs, I think I do a good job about including everything I need to in order to do good. The only thing I need to work on is that I need to include sources from the site I use in some of blog posts. I don't have anything that I stress about the work for blogs. I feel confident in what I write so I don't get too confused on the assignment.


I feel that I do put in effort into my blogs and assignments in general. For the most part I try to give myself enough time to complete my assignments, I give myself two to three days to complete assignments. Procrastinating is really bad, because I feel that the work is too rushed and its not your best work that you could put out. I sometimes review my work for grammar and readability. I know I should review my blogs more often so that I know I have proper grammar and mechanics. 

For the most part I don't have a problem with other people looking at my blog posts because I feel that I've followed the rubric to make the post descent and readable to the reader. I actually like that people can look at my post and review it to give me feed back on what I did good and what I might need to fix for future posts. If we could discuses how to improve the blogs we post. Like the visual side of the blog, how to place photos, how to position text to make it look stream line. I learned that there is a lot of work that goes into making a blog. I thought that it was just typing and posting it but there is more to it. You have brainstorming and thinking of ideas to blog about.

Why the Dominican Republic should be your next travel destination

 The Dominican Republic is one of the countries that shares the island( Haiti is the other country) called Hispaniola, which was originally named Ayiti. Christopher Columbus claimed the island during his voyage. The Dominican Republic today is the second largest Caribbean island and the second largest population with 10 million people over 48,445 square kilometers. Spain used the Dominican Republic for plantations, which in turn brought slaves to the island for labor. Ever since slavery has ended the Dominican Republic has relied on tourism, and agricultural resources for their economy.   Along the north coast of the Dominican Republic is a very pretty beach, with golden sand and lined with highly rated resorts known as Playa Dorada. If crowded areas with lots of tourist are not your thing then Playa Dorada is a great travel destination with a tranquil feel to the area. Although it's not as packed as if you were to go to Punta Cana its a beautiful area for swimming and snorkeling.

Research About Aruba

Aruba was inhabited by the Arawak Amerindian populations prior to European discovery. It was claimed by the Spanish in 1499 and, because of its lack of natural resources suitable for trade, Aruba, along with Bonaire and Curacao, was considered part of the Islas Inutiles (Useless Islands). The island was finally used for cattle raising and wood cutting. The arrival of the oil industry modernized the island during the 1920s and raised the standard of living significantly. This generated thousands of jobs, particularly at the height of World War II, when gasoline was in high demand, with the Lago Oil and Transport Company on the east end and The Eagle Oil Refining Company on the west. Aruba started to concentrate on tourism to bolster the island's economy as the war came to a close. The tourism sector expanded dramatically as soon as the oil refinery closed. Tourism and oil refining are contributing significantly to the economy to this day. Aruba's demographics are mixed with sign
