English 9

Movie Poster Assignment:

Reflection:  This assignment used my communication for core competencies.  making a movie poster for a project was something i  wouldn’t have thought of, and gave me a new and interesting way to show my learning. It also helped me learn how to use “Bighugelabs” even though it doesn’t save your work (meaning you have to do all your work in one sitting) it is still a very useful website that i might use for smaller projects.

English Shakespeare project

Reflection: this project challenged our communication and creative thinking. we had to communicate in weird ways when rehearing since we were on a tight time schedule and in away that people would understand when we rehearsed. for our creative thinking, we had to think of a way to shorten entire acts in a Shakespeare play  down to 2:00 min to 1:00 min  to 30 seconds all the way down to 10 seconds. This was a very tough project that I would never want to do again.

English poetry reading

reflection: This project affected my critical thinking and self awareness. it had me formulate and design a tone for the poem trying to find the “feeling” of the poem. for self awareness I had to make sure that I didn’t start doing something I do when I get nervous, like playing with my hands and rocking back and forth. I also had to make sure that I didn’t choke up in front of the class. this presentation helped with me with memorizing and presenting projects, and may help me in the future but there is still lots of room for improvement.
