My Movie

Plot, Character, Setting and Mood

I guessed what my character looked like. The only info I had about his appearance was on the front cover of the book, besides the security officials, who are just dressed as security.

I chose my plot points by finding the best and most impactful parts of the story and using them in the presentation.

I figured out the story’s setting while reading it when I was on the rising action, the setting is significant because it provides the reader with information and context on where the story takes place and the time it’s set in.

The word ‘mood’ can have many meanings. For one, it can mean the feeling of a movie. The mood of the movie. Which could be the theme. It may have a depressing mood if it’s a dark and slow movie. I chose the music ‘Rumble’ that I got from Bensound. I feel that it really matches the mood of the book, it being about fighting for rights and going against security for justice.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I take a little 5-minute break before heading back to work.
I appreciate feedback on my finished work and prefer it to come in the form of a short sentence or a rubric.
Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are to seeing other people’s ideas and taking inspiration from them.

2. A new and familiar digital tool I used to create this project were power point, and edublog

3.The process I used to investigate the topic was making the power point, adding slides, then adding info

4. The process of completing the challenge was okay and fun at the same time, something I could’ve done better was design choices

1. My experiences in math before coming into math 9 were decent. I havent really enjoyed or liked it, but as I got older i started to dislike math more. The areas that I mostly struggled in were fractions. Fractions I didnt understand it as much as other math units i’ve done. When it was close to September I was a little bit worried about highschool math, as i knew it was harder then the math i’ve done before. I think from the past experiences, I have a little bit of anxiety around math.

2. Thinking back to the start of class I didn’t do as well as i thought and wanted to do. because i didn’t really have the motovation, to do the stuff i needed to do. One thing i’m proud of in math 9 is getting a better mark, on a quiz than last time. Some areas i could improve in would be my behavior. Which includes Studying harder, and working harder on homework. Something i would do differently to prepare for next quiz, is studying for longer periods, of time.

3. What I would reasonably want my final grade to be is atleast a passing grade. If i’m able to get a passing grade i’ll be happy enough. The behaviors im willing to change to achvive, this goal is making sure I do all my assignments, and when theres an upcoming quiz/test. I’ll make sure to study hard. I don’t really have a plan to hold myself accountable.
