my movie:

Plot, Character, Setting and mood

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

I figured out what they would look like by their descriptions in the book and also looking up fan art images that other people created, and that helped me design my avatar.

• How did you choose the plot points?  

I chose the plot points based on how they were explained in class, because for example we were told that the initiation incident was the part of the story where the main conflict begins. So when i was reading i was looking for those points in the book, and when i finished reading the book i went back and chose what i thought was the best one.

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

I figured out the setting by paying attention to the way the protagonist described the world around her. the setting is very important because if it was set in a different time and place the vibe of the book would be completely different.

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

the word mood is the way the author makes you feel when you are reading his or her book. i chose the song I did because is the begging its very suspenseful then if becomes more up beat and action packed.

Core Competency reflection

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… During this project when it was time to create our own avatars we needed to envision the way our characters looked, but i was struggling because i felt like my antagonist was missing something so i looked up some of the art the other people have made and that helped me find what was missing.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… We started this project on the last week of school before spring break so i was very excited about that, and not really focusing in class when i should have been. So after school i would either listen to music or go on a walk to try and re-focus then after i felt more calm and ready to work i would get all my work done.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this… Throughout the entire time I was reading this book I would keep little sticky notes in places i thought were important and could help me later on with my powerpoint presentation.
