MY ARTIFACT

MY LEARNING

While reading the book, “Catcher in the Rye,” by J.D. Salinger I completed three projects all with different goals. The first project was creating a mind map with different quotes from the book, the second project was picking one character and discussing their personality, and the third project was creating a book cover, synopsis, and a recommendation. Before this project I already knew how to integrate quotes into a paragraph. After this project I had more knowledge on how to convey criticism respectfully in the form of a book review. I also learned more about how to create a synopsis without giving away major spoilers but still enough information to make a person want to read the book.

CORE COMPETENCY REFLECTION

An area of writing in which I feel confident to develop new ideas is in creative writing. I enjoyed the creative writing portion of the course a lot and I felt like I came up with my ideas fairly quickly.

When faced with ambiguity or setbacks I take a break and do something else to advance the development of my ideas. If I get stuck and don’t stop to take a break I get really frustrated and that is never fun so I take a break and come back to it later.
