WWII Propaganda Poster

Socials Reflection

Self Reflection

This assignment shows my artistic abilities I think because I drew the entire poster myself and I colored it all in too. I think that this shows the Creative Thinking Core Competency because I had to think creatively to come up with a design for the poster that would meet the criteria and I think that it made me think creatively to find something that looks good and promotes the idea of going to war during WWII. During this project I learned about how the government wanted young men to join the army and fight during WWII so that they didn’t have to make conscription a rule.

Core Competency Reflection

I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener, I chose this competency because I think that I demonstrated this by asking questions about the criteria and the limitations of this project. I asked about different ways to do this project and different forms of media to demonstrate my learning, but went with the design of poster.

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself, I chose this I can statement because I was proud of myself for this project and I liked what I did with this poster and my work was reflected in the marks that I got for it. I did feel and express a feeling of joy when I received a good mark on this project and I’m glad I put in the work for it.

I work to inform myself about issues surrounding me, I demonstrated this because the poster was a project about WWII and that is a past issue that we were learning about. I think that even though it is not a current issue it is still an issue that is relevant.

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others, I demonstrated this because I formed my own idea for the design of the propaganda poster but I also looked at past examples of posters for inspiration and to get me to think. I built on the ideas that others had come up with and I had combined it with my own ideas to create something entirely new.

I recognize my emotions and use strategies to manage them, I think that I need to work on this because my emotions dictate my life and can end up with missing assignments and being behind in class for me. I think that if I can regulate my emotions better then I would be able to be more productive and not fall behind in class.
