English 9 Final Reflection

My Artifact

Curricular Competencies Reflection

In this course I really challenged my communication skills through public speaking, visual presentations, and writing. I always tried to make my paragraphs as perfect as can be, by planing my ideas and having a production plan before I started my final copy. In this assignment specifically I demonstrated connection skills to ads we’ve seen in the past, and comprehension from the Hunger Games book to show our true understanding.

Core Competencies Reflection

Creative Thinking: Others find my feedback useful because I provide a new solution rather than shutting others ideas down. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is having all ideas infant of me to work around and expand on. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is adding colours and new fonts to there advertising technique.

Capitol Mutation Collaborative Project

My Project

Public Speaking

So far in this semester, I’ve picked up on some very impactful public speaking skills. I learned about speaking to the room instead of just the teachers and working with my group to make sure everyone is prepared for the presentation on knowing when to speak so there are no awkward pauses. Something that makes a good speaker is someone who is, clear and slow with their words. A good speech is interesting and keeps you present with the topic. it should also allow you to reflect on the topic in your own life. A good audience member doesn’t need to enjoy the speech but needs to be present.

Collaborating Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to have a clear and organized conversation periodically. this ensures everyone is on the same page. When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I listen to new ideas and views on different topics. I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by going around periodically asking people and checking upon them. If I notice disagreements, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by resetting and referring resources such as the criteria sheet, rubric, or adults in the room. I can play a role in collectively monitoring the progress of the group and adjust my contributions as needed by doing daily check-ups and asking questions to my group members.

Hunger Games Persuasion Project

My Advertisement

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

In my advertisement, we are advertising a new and fresh subscription to the people of The Capitol. Our advertisement uses ethical appeal, we included a quote from a well-known person in The Capitol. We also have included a revel of the wig quiz that implies that what your order will be curated to what you want, people will also want these because it talks about how they are “inspired by the tributes from the games. This is big because they are celebrated in The Capitol. One big technique in this advertisement is bandwagon. It implies you are not a true wiggy until you subscribe to our box. This is the first thing your eyes are drawn to because it’s big and bright. We also use card stacking at the bottom. Giving numbers telling people that the wig has more volume for example. Something else is a special offer. Talking about how it’s “just” thirty-nine dollars a month. Testimonial/Famous people say, is when we gave the Effie Trinket quote.

Core Competency Refelction

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include talking in a clear and encouraging way. Generating ideas and thinking about how I may be wrong helped me grow in especially looking for looking about flaws in my own ideas. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when we were designing the poster. Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are being calm and collecting when there is a disagreement or conflict.
