Creative thinking poem reflection:

I started writing my poem with picking a picture for my poem. This may seem self-explanatory, but it actually took me awhile to choose. I wanted to write about something that I knew, something that spoke to me. I decided on my picture because it seemed dramatic yet simple. Then I began writing my poem. It was actually hard to get started. Doing a simile was surprisingly easy, however. I am still not completely sure about my personification (the petals reached), but in my mind it seems to work. I found my metaphor came easily to me. I was simply referring to the general idea of one thing standing out. The alliteration was a little harder, I couldn’t think of that many s words at first, (I decided on using s words for the alliteration because that’s where I was at the time). Writing this poem was harder for me than writing poems in my free time, but I just had to reassure myself that I was doing well. I hope I communicated some sort of bigger meaning with my poem. I think I can honestly say I’m happy with the turnout.

Merchant of Venice Tableau

Dec17

Gratiano and Nerissa argue over Nerissa’s ring.

Portia reveals that she had been disguised as a man and took Bassanio’s ring.

Antonio tries to stop the arguing.

Reflection:

For my groups’ Merchant of Venice Tableau, I admit that it was kind of slow going at first. It was hard to find a good photoshop app and we had some trial and error. We eventually decided on just taking the pictures anyways, but then we figured out how to add the background. We could have improved on efficiency. Adding the correct background was pretty time consuming because we had to use an apple pencil to colour out the background of the classroom and add the appropriate background. As for the actual photo, we had to improvise because our group didn’t have enough boys for all the shots. For one picture, Megan was Gratiano and I was Nerissa. Sofia was Antonio in another (she wore a hood). Scene 5 was a fairly easy scene to capture, as it was probably the shortest scene in the play. Our photos are based on the arguments about Portia and Nerissa’s rings and Antonio trying to stop the arguing. Overall, I’m okay with how our photos turned out, and it was good that we had to find creative ways to solve problems.
