The first competency I used while creating this project was “I can analyze evidence to make judgments.” I had to find a piece of media, my song, then examined it in means of finding a connection to psychological disorders. I then came to the conclusion that the song “Creature Comfort” by Arcade Fire relates to body dysmorphic disorder.
“I get ideas when I use my five senses to explore or when I pursue my interests” was the second competency I demonstrated. I remember listening to this song on the radio frequently when I was younger. The lyrics interested me because I understood the story the artist was telling.
The final competency I used was “I deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head.” I knew that I wanted to focus on OCD and body dysmorphic disorder for my mind map, so I made sure to choose a media that correlated with those. As I was educating myself on said disorders, I began to develop knew ideas as to why I chose my media and how it conveyed certain messages.
