Speech Unit Reflection

While completing my speech I went through ups and down and learned many new useful things. I found that using the speech outline was very helpful because I was able to break my speech into chunks. At times while doing assignments like these I tend to get very overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. However by using this outline I was able I complete my speech bit by bit. I also found learning how to get onto all the resource sites helpful because I was able to find accurate and relevant information quickly. I found it very helpful while doing my citations that the data abases I used already gave me the information I needed. The information sheet on the work cited assignment that Ms. Toy gave us was very helpful because I was able to double check to make sure I had all the information I needed. When researching for my topic, I used a few different data bases such as Canada in Context and Global Issues in Context. I found that using the news articles was the easiest way to find the information and statistics I needed. To improve next time I think that I could search multiple different resource sites instead of a few, this way I could fine even more relevant information and maybe information more up to date. 

My Self-Portrait

Reflection

My self portrait is innovative because it allows me to show people who i am in an original way. It not only expressed myself through writing, but also through pictures. While i was making my self portrait I wanted to incorporate things that really said who i was. i added my hobbies, along with things that are important to me, like family and friends. I thought it was important to add my nationality because it plays a huge role in how I live my life. I enjoyed being able to express myself through my own design. next time I would use a different layout so my collage would be more visually appealing. I learned that I can be creative in the way that I make connections, like I did with my metaphor.
