Bibliography Brochure Assign. ready
My Reflection
In this reflection I will be talking about the Core Competency Critical Thinking. I believe have shown a lot of Critical Thinking through the process of making this project. I used the criteria and annualized what was needed to make this project up to the standards. For example:
- I looked through the examples given and used what was written to strengthen my writing
- I read through the format details and made sure I was putting in all the information that was required for this project
- I also highlighted the things that I have done already and didn’t highlight the things that I still needed to work on
Through the development of my project, I also had my family members look at my work. I would tell them what they were looking for (A brochure that intrigued them to read the book I have chosen) and to help me with spelling mistakes or errors. This was very helpful because having more then one person look at the assignment will bring a better understanding for other people to read.
When I was gathering information I went to many sources and brought them together to know the credibility of each one. When I did this, it allowed me to know when some information is incorrect or not useful, including many other things I needed to know. For example:
- If I saw specific information about the author I would make sure the other site would have the same information
- If one site has information I need, but not all of it another site might fill in the blanks
- If a site had good information, but I couldn’t understand it I can use another to help me unfold the confusion
When I am looking through websites I know the difference between facts, beliefs, and opinions. I know this by reading what the website has and by looking at specific words they use like for example, “I think” or “I believe”. Those words are opinionated, however when they use other words like this, “this is” or “based on an interview”, is when you know they are true facts. In order to know your information is valid is to have many sites proving that it is, that it is not someones opinion, seeing when it was published, and if the website is made by a reliable company or group. This required Critical Thinking because you have to make sure the things you are looking at are reliable by using special techniques.
For the creation of the brochure I had to make sure it looked intriguing to read. So, in order to succeed in that, I have to choose the right colours and the right photos. For the colour I chose many shades of blue. Blue is a very formal colour and makes the brochure look professional and interesting. With the photos I have to choose the right ones and put them in the right place. The three photos I have chosen are:
- A drawing of the main character “Adelina Amouteru” to be on the top right side of the brochure where the character analyses is, so it could represent it
- A photo of the author “Marie Lu” and put it is right next the author biography
- The third photo I have selected is the map of Estenzia (The map of the setting in the book) Right on the bottom of the second page.
This required Critical Thinking because you have to know the right images to fit the concept of the whole brochure and the information that they are representing.
This assignment took a lot of thinking, making this reflection easy to write about. I know that when I use Critical Thinking I must dig deep into things that are very important and to focus on the detail to the assignment. I know that paying attention to the criteria will bring me very far in what I am supposed to do. If I continue using Critical Thinking I will be able to do well with many of my assignments in the future. What I do need to work on is organizing my work so I could get things done easily. Here are ways I could do that:
- I could create my own planner and write important things down
- I could “schedule” different classes through out the day so I wont get overwhelmed
- I could do the important things first and less important things after
If I start to do those things I will be able to keep up to date with my classes without getting stressed. This will help me make sure I try my very best on assignments and projects. With this growth I can do better in my classes and it will develop my strengths in my Core Competencies.
Thank you for reading!
