My Analysis
Creating and Communication
When I wrote my simpsons essay I was able to express my learning about Irony, satire, and allusion during this in class essay. I was able to learn about this concept in class with notes and class discussion. After note taking, we watched The Simpsons. I was able to connect Irony, satire, and allusion while watching the show. I expressed my ideas with including the skills I learned to write better. I had a strong thesis sentences leading me into my three main points. I wrote about the reversal of expectation, irony, and dark truth. I explained how they included it into the show for humour. I wrote about Homers actions when he said “people aren’t that bad” Then an angry mob of people turn the corner.
Core Competency Reflection
- I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work. I created three main points and a strong thesis sentence that made a smooth entrance into my essay. I used the knowledge and notes from Mr.Cooks lessons on how to write a well structured essay.
- An example of where I built upon others ideas was when we were watching The Simpsons we had discussions about the allusions and Irony included throughout the episodes. I was able to build off of the classes and Mr.Cooks ideas and examples.
- I used evidence and judgments as demonstrated when I wrote about scenes that describe irony specifically situational irony.
