reflection:

During this project, I had to create a poster about an explorer of my choice. I chose the explorer Erik the Red, who discovered Greenland. I also used lots of critical thinking, and here’s how:

During this project, I analyzed and critiqued lots of information. I had to select certain information I thought would be good for my poster, and rewrite in layman’s terms. I also used the criteria for this project to help influence my decision of what to put on my poster. I also used different sources to double check the information. Sometimes, the sources would have contradictory information, I had to use third sources or my critical thinking to determine the most possible solution. This project really tested my analytical and critique abilities.

This question made me question a lot of things, whether it was which websites are trustworthy to would Mrs. Pavan like this. Everything I did during this project, I took time to reflect and question my decision. I believe that this is the best way to create a “perfect” poster. I had to investigate all the information for this poster. I really needed to do lots of investigating because I had no prior knowledge on the topic.

Lastly, this project required lots of developing and designing. I had to create a poster about a subject I had limited knowledge about. I had to make the information and pictures appealing to the eyes. The difficult part was figuring out how many pictures to use because I didn’t want the pictures to be too distracting from the text. I had to intricately create a wonderful poster, which took lots of critical thinking. In the end, I successfully created a great poster.

In the end, there could’ve been a few things I should’ve done better. I believe I spent too much time planning and not enough time researching. Other than that, I think this project was done to the best of my ability.
