My Movie

“Plot, Character, Setting and Mood”

I chose the Avatar I did for Coach Connors because of the physical description that they gave in the book and how I imagined him by that description. They said he was more fat than muscular and I imagined him looking like an NHL Coach that I know of named Jay Woodcroft. The book said he wore a suit so this is what I chose for him to wear. It also said Coach Connors looked friendly so I chose a face that looked friendly to me.

I chose the avatar for Cody because I know he is a 15 year old. He’s a teenager and plays rep hockey so I chose a character that I felt represented this. The book doesn’t give a specific description for his appearance so I chose clothes that would represent a teenager.

I chose the plot points I used because I felt that they represented that part of the book the best. They gave a good description of each of the parts of the book I included such as climax, rising action and denouement.

I was able to figure out the setting of the story which was the hockey rink because that is the place that Cody spends the majority of his time. It’s the place he loves the most. It’s the main place where he develops relationships with his new team and his coach.

I chose the song I did for the background because it represents a mid tone and I feel like it has ups and downs. It’s a basic and simple song but I feel like it shows a courageous part to the story where Cody comes forward about what is happening to him. There a couple parts of the story where they are playing a hockey game as well and I feel my choice of music suits this.

“Core Competency Reflection”

Some skills I developed to make my creative ideas better are learning how to put pictures in that I found from stock images on power point. I also learned how to use the designer feature and make my project look better.

I respectfully advocate for my needs by focusing and asking for help when I needed it. I went to the tech center during Flex and got some help with my project.

I can contribute and work with criteria to improve my own work by reading the criteria properly and doing everything that is asked. I checked things off as I went along and asked questions when I didn’t understand.
