My Analysis

Creating and Communicating

The Simpsons taught me and helped me fully understand irony and satire. I got to see visual irony when homer bounced back into the burning house after Ned threw him out. I analyzed and saw the irony of expecting one thing and getting something different. I learned about satire through the characters. Homer is an example of how dads would rather watch tv and eat instead of watching the kids. I reread my work and got rid of unnecessary words to refine my work. I used the less is more technique to not use too many words.

Core Competency Reflection

I can describe how satire, irony and/or allusion relates to the Simpsons. I used different evidence from the show and used examples from episodes. I used examples of visual and verbal irony that I noticed in the episodes and satire of the characters.

I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking questions and getting clarification. I also talk and compare my work with my peers. I ask my peers about my work and if it needs more help. I make sure that my work meets the criteria and exceeds expectations.

I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I write essays or take tests. In essays I am open minded to criticism to help make my work the best it can be. On tests I learn from my mistakes and i talk to my peers about how they study for tests or what they studied.
