Comprehend and Connect

While doing this assignment I grew in my reading skills. I was able to understand and comprehend the story I was reading to come up with my own ideas about the story. Doing this assignment allowed me to further connect to the story and helped me to show my understanding through writing and images. I could infer the main characters personality by clues in the story. I feel that this showed that I had a good understanding of the story.

Thinking CC – Creative Thinking

I showed creative thinking in this assignment when doing the design of my poster. I had to face a challenge when I had trouble fitting all of my work into one infographic. Most of the pre-made templates do not have enough space for what I was writing. I did not realize I did not have enough room until I was almost done with my infographic. I had to use my creative thinking to re-organize my poster to fit all of my information. I decided to use a different template to fit everything well. While making the poster I got stuck because ideas were not coming to me. To help my flow of ideas I organized my thoughts to generate some ideas and put them on paper. It worked because after I did this I had plenty of ideas. Overall, my infographic allowed me to use creative thinking to design and generate ideas.
