One thing I love is interactive assignments in which the only thing that limits me is my creativity. I love visual and auditory and visual things, such as music and pictures. Below is an assignment chosen from the class assignment bank.
In order to complete this assignment I’d need to have some type of interest in music, to keep me interested and engaged long enough to create a masterpiece. I clearly possess this interest, as I love listening to all genres of music. I’d also need to know how to put words together in a rhyming fashion, which I believe just about anyone can do. Lastly, I’d need some type of software or application so I can create the remix to my song of choice. I’ve always had a love for music and I’ve always wanted to create my own song, whether it’s a remix or an original. I believe this class will give me some useful skills I can use to create my first song. In this class I think I should do about 3-5 other assignments like this, so I can explore this. Who knows, maybe I can create the next hit by accident. Creating music needs the skills of knowing how to express one’s self in an effective way, continuously for about 2-5 minutes. Sometimes even longer. There is also a storytelling component so everything flows together. This skill is important because it gives someone freedom to express themselves. In other words, it gives an outle t where someone can express themselves and their only limit is their imagination.
The assignment below from the assignment repository is more of a visual based assignment. I chose this assignment because it is about traveling. I love traveling and I have lots of pictures of the places I’ve visited, This assignment is more journalism based.
In order to complete this assignment I’d need to know how to create a google presentation slideshow. Luckily I grew up with computers around me, so I can definitely do that. Also, I’d need to sequence the pictures in a way that tells a story. Below is the slide show. Enjoy!

I love music so much as well. It’s my peace when I’m stressed and I think an assignment testing your creativity with things you love is actually really good to improve your creativity. I also love your pics from Turkey it looks beautiful and like you had a lot of fun and I would love to go
