While working on this project, I learned bunch of different skills. This project has taught me how to properly analyze a book to its finest details. I have learned how to create an entire plot for any book I read. This can help me understand much better where I am at in any book I read. Before I use to read books without even thinking of its plots or the conflicts between characters but now, it makes my mind think more about it when I read a book. This project has genuinely made me much smarter when it comes to understanding everything about a book or story.
Core Competency Reflection
An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is…
I spent a lot about learning how to properly create a graphic novel. We went through plenty of lessons on how to make the perfect graphic novel for your project and this knowledge helped me a lot.
When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I …. to help calm myself or create space in my mind to…
When it seems the good ideas won’t come to me, I like to take a moment to take a break and relax and try and refresh my mind. This helps me focus up more and gives a easy path for all the good ideas to register in my mind.
Reflection Questions- Is violence justified during a protest?
A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project
It helped me and my partner find good events that fit our arguments. We used these events as examples to represent our arguments.
B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI
I would read over the information the AI gave me and then I would create my own argument and support going off of what the AI told me.
C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not?
I agreed with the side I was arguing for as a violent protest does sound more affective to me since it makes officials act way quicker.
Competency Reflection
My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include…
Using the provided AI from the teacher to help me gather ideas for my podcast. As well as reflecting on some old social studies units to help give me ideas to use in my podcast.
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I…
I try to begin a small conversation and plan out how we can do the project as I am a very talkative person so I befriend my partner making the project easier.
I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way.
I demonstrated this by making a very easy to understand power point with specific numbers to help identify where things are on my map and my notes have the same matching numbers so it makes my project very easy to read.
I can work with others to achieve a goal.
I demonstrated this by being very communitive when doing group work to help our group come to a answer. I would try my best to help get my group off of their feet and working.
I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener.
I showed this by always making sure I was paying full attention in lessons. I always asked a question if I was unsure of a answer and made sure I knew what I was doing.
I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself.
I demonstrate this statement in everyone of my assignments. I like trying to make the work fun and I will put full effort into it. Once I am complete I feel a big sense of joy and accomplishment.
What did you learn about determining a character’s physical appearance? Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
I learned that to determine someone’s appearance you need to go off their personality. Puck seemed a lot like a nature boy. He also is known as a trickster in the play so that gave me the thought of a teenager. So we made him a young nature boy who works with the fairy’s and Oberon.
· What did you learn about determining the setting of a story? How did you apply this to choosing the images in your movie?
I learned that to determine the setting of the story you need to read through the lines well and determine the setting through what they say. Like in some of their lines if they are mentioning places like forests or they even say the name of the place they are in it can really help you determine the setting of the play. This helped me choose the right images for our movie by simply just going off of the actors lines and finding the image that best suited them.
· Explain what the word mood means in literature and movies. What mood did you decide on for your movie? Why did you pick the song that you picked?
The mood in movies is determined a lot by the song that is playing in the background. It simply just means the vibe of the movie. Like if the mood in the movie is sad and low it will play sad music and if the mood is angry or intense it might play intense or loud music. For our movie we chose a song for action. Our character had a lot of scenes that had intense action moments. These moments kept you on your toes and that is why we chose this song,
· Don’t forget a conclusion sentence (you can take one from your movie)!
Overall, this book felt very interesting to read. It has so many moments that would leave you completely stunned. As a group we would recommend this book to others and especially those who love stories with big changes in the story. This story shows how fast people’s opinions on things can change. As well as how life would be with things like love potions and other fictional items.
Core Competency Reflection
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… I would leave the room to go get myself a nice drink of water and take a small walk. Then once I am back in the classroom I am fully refocused and ready to work.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in… When I was communicating my Ideas for the conclusion sentence to my peers and making sure they understood the way I was going to write it so that they knew it would be a good concluding sentence.
I have valuable ideas to share about… and do so by… I tell my group members that I have an idea to help with the project. I make sure I have their full attention and explain my idea thoroughly so that they understand and like what I have in mind.
