Assignment #1

The process of the digital text creation was based upon sound of the word for the most part. Being that English is not my first language and not being able to learning it properly, especially cursive old English. I had to ask for help from my teammates around me or my professors that were there to help. The process of this assignment was to understand how to transcribe the feelings and the meaning of the people of the past to this modern age, so people can have access to this transcribe.

With the connection of the documents I had was pretty slim to none because I have never heard of the Moravian lives till I enrolled into this class. However, I was surprised by the fact that these letters had much more meaning to it than I imagine. When doing the section that I was assigned to do there wasn’t many people, dates and etc. ,but there were a lot of traits or characteristics that describe the situation of the event or a person. It captivated me in seeing how these people from the past were able put emotions into the paper with different metaphors in a weird way that captivated me. While doing this assignment it taught me how to be more openly aware that I am not going get it on the first try when transcribing a document because sometimes a document can be blurry or really hard to read.

To get a precise digital text I had to re-read the pages that I was assigned. The reason for it is to see if there were any errors in spelling and to see if the a line makes sense to the whole story. Also, just talking to ones own group members to see their perspective in this matter is a huge advantage to see if this correct.
