Curricular Response

  • Choose one of the figurative images from your power point assignment and explain how you chose that image, and how that image supports the meaning of that particular slide.  

Soon after his creation, the wretch was abandoned. He is despised and feared by people. He has no one to depend on or relate to. he howling wolf stands for loneliness. All his life, he lives lonely, isolated life.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

  • As this assignment was in some ways different from a “typical” assignment for English class, discuss what challenges you faced completing the assignment and how you overcame them. 

First of all, it was difficult to design the presentation. It’s been a long time since I made the presentation on my own, so it was hard to make a draft and design. I try to arrange the words and image neatly and simply. In addition, it was hard to choose the figurative image.

  • How did you select images and words to create meaning?  What this easy for you? Why or why not? 

I especially struggled with selecting a figurative image. I thought many feelings and image aroused in mind, but I could only come up with the literal image, not the figurative. However, as I keep searching what the figurative image is, I could finally get a sense of its concept.

Our Movie

Plot, Character, Setting and Mood

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

I look up the descriptions of Edwin. I could guess his appearance through his words and the way he acts. He always somewhat give Cole advices. I could figure out he is calmness and warm, otherwise tough and brave. I made my own Avatar of Edwin based on these clues.

· How did you choose the plot points?

I check the story of a book again by reading again and discussing with partners. Then we choose and find the clues about Garvey and take a note.

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

I try to find the picture that corresponds to each page’s mood and plot. Setting is significant to the story because I can possibly change the mood of the story and give audience wrong(different) impression.

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

I think Garvey somewhat has a dark mood, although he always tries to help Cole. Thus, our group put dark mood songs.

Core Competency Reflection

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is that… I am trying to communicate with my partners and look up the pictures and descriptions. After everyone finish their parts, I try to check others’ works specifically and discuss about better way to edit it. I show my opinion and idea and choose better pictures and descriptions.

I appreciate feedback on… the design and descriptions. I actively accept others opinion and make my parts better by discussing more.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better… are accepting others’ feedbacks and actively participate in the projects.

Snow

Snow is falling down heavily

Color disappear White appear

Snow, snow and more snow

(Haiku)

Core Competency

I generate new ideas as I pursue my interests
:I love snow. As I move to Canada, I experienced heavy snow and I was my first time to experience that much heavy snow. The scenery was totally unfamiliar to me. Due to snow, its color, white, covered all around the world and I could not find ‘colorful’ while snowing. Tree, house, road, etc.. white were all covered the world. And it continued for almost 4 days, continuously falling down. I think this poem shows up my fun toward the snow, and how I felt while snowing. I could express my interest with my own creative thinking.

Freesia

The start of the spring

Expressing innocent and trust and thoughtful

Happily yellow scatters

Core Competency

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy.

:Freesia is one of my favorite flower. When I buy freesia and put in my room, I feel happiness and joy. As its flower language, friendship, trust, thoughtfulness, and innocence, I feel a sense of accomplishment and joy while thinking about freesia. In a peom “I wandered lonely as a cloud” by William Wordsworth, speaker changes positively when he thinks of daffodils. For me, freesia works sames as daffodils.
