Reflecting on My First Year

My Grade 9 Year

At the beginning of the year I was exhilarated and was having the time of my life. However as the months passed the work became more intense and I was more stressed. Even though it is the end of the year I am burnt-out and stressed out. I am overwhelmed about tests and labs. Not to mention finials are around the corner and I am not prepared.

Touching Spirt Bear The Movie: Garvey’s Story

Our Movie

Plot, Character, Setting and Mood

Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.

I figured out what Garvey looked like by imaging in my brain what a person would look like if they had the personality of Garvey. Furthermore, I used the evidence in the text to match the description of Garvey. I also searched on the internet of what a parole officer looks like and used that to get rough sketch.

· How did you choose the plot points?

We choose the plot points by going through text in the book that Garvey stated or talked about. Furthermore, we combined like topics into one big point.

· Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story?

The setting is significant because it provides the reader with context on the time, place, and environment that it takes place. I figured the setting out because it was clearly stated in the text. The place is clearly stated so is the season. I figured out the setting by carefully reading over the text and using my detective eye.

· Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?

I figured out the mood of the story by writing doneb the emotions i felt through the chapters. I then took the written done emotions and figured out what mood the book was. I then also tried to write down the mood Garvey gave off. With those pieces of information I then was able to search for a song that fit the book and Garvey.
