This is my figurative image for Elizebeth in the 1931 film. While I was figuring out what I could put for a figurative image for her, I thought about this one because I feel like Elizebeth was just there and didn’t do much. I felt like people would walk past her and not even care. I thought Frankenstein didn’t really care about her, I personally thought she deserved way more.
Core Competency Self Assessment
How did you select images and words to create meaning? was this easy for you? why or why not? The reason I selected the figurative image of Elizebeth was because I thought that one was really true to the story and how her role was played. The hardest part of this assignment might have been the writing part of it, because I had to write about the image and why I chose it. Otherwise I think this assignment was pretty easy.
· Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
We figured out that Cole has blonde hair, And we assumed that the mom had brown hair and the dad had blonde/ brown hair but we felt like he would be a bit older so his hair turned grey. We also added glasses to Cindy because maybe she liked wearing them so she could hide her eyes from the dad who she was afraid of.
· How did you choose the plot points?
We went back to the book and scanned through the book to see when the mom was mentioned in the book. Then we sectioned each part and put it into the plot points it belongs in.
· Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story?
The way we found the main setting in the story for Mrs. Matthews is that we scanned through the book to find the parts where Mrs. Matthews was in. The setting is very important because she was included in the circle of justice meeting with a whole bunch of people. It showed how scared she really was of Mr. Matthews.
· Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?
The word “mood” means the book could be a certain mood, for example this book “Touching Spirt Bear” the mood of this book is Mysterious because the spirt bear is a big mystery and we don’t know what is going on with Cole’s parents at the moment. The reason we picked this song is because we thought it was a good calm background song. we didn’t want anything scary or exciting because that didn’t match the mood.
Core Competency Reflection
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… When I ask my peers what they would write for… and I would use some of there ideas to expand our big idea to make our writing even better with all our thoughts put together.
I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is… Every assignment I do I put in my best effort. I always contribute in every group project. I make sure to read the rubric before starting to get a good understanding of what’s expected for us to do.
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by… Asking my peers questions I have to build my understanding of a certain topic. If they don’t know the answer to my question I ask the teacher. This helps me be more confident with my work.
