My Movie
Plot, Character, Setting and Mood
I figured out my avatar because I watched the movie and I felt that I already had his head in my brain. I understood he was an older, fine looking man from the 1920’s. I learned that you cant just put something that doesn’t affect the end of the story. I chose my plot points by picking the things I feel are the most important. Mr. Gatsby’s house shows hes rich, him and Daisy in the tea party both shows they’re nervous or embarrassed, and the last slide is them dancing and showing they’re confident and happy together. I figured out the setting because since its an older book, they told me where they are, West Egg, New York, the time, 1920, what their city looked like, etc. I think the mood means like the genre of the book. If its a love book, you need some romantic music because they’re falling in love. If its a war book, you have to have some intense music on while they’re fighting to make it feel more real. I picked my song, ‘Romantic’ because I felt the book was of two people who were in love again after not seeing each other for five years, and you get to see them fall in love all over again.
Core Competency Reflection
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I go outside and go for a walk for about twenty five minutes, or I go into my backyard and shoot pucks, work on my lacrosse skills, or play basketball against my brother. Every once in a while I take a thirty minute nap or go play with my dog.
I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is when I did the last three slides, I did all my work cited, said what I though would happen by the end of the book, and my thoughts and final review on the book and if I would recommend it to anyone.
Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are taking a break and not trying to rush through something, and taking my time and staying on task. I also try to take walks and play with my dog to do my activities with a clear head and not saying no to an idea I may have.
