Reflecting on English Studies 12

My Artefact; Happiness Podcast

Curricular Competency Reflection

When coming up with a script for my podcast, I had to make sure it was entertaining for an audience. I wanted the script to come from heart and share my own experiences with happiness. I’m proud of how much I wrote and honestly could have kept talking about it because I choose something of interest. I learned a lot about happiness through the resources I used and connecting it to my own experiences.

Core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in my podcast. I used evidence from an article we read in class to further talk about happiness.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are making sure its something people would want to hear and not doing into deep detail without it being boring or irrelevant.

I Saw a Perfect Tree Today : Poetry in Voice Reflection

My Poem

Curricular Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the poem I chose to Recite. This poem has a deep connection with how trees and nature are being destroyed and future generations wont be able to see much of the natural world.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is tone mapping with other people from my class. I got to hear how they would read my poem to help choose a tone to read it in.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are learning different tones and how to find them in a poem. I’ve got to practice finding tone and mood in class which prepared me for reciting my poem.
