Animal Farm Video

Core Competence Reflection

For this assignment, we were asked to work as a group to create a poster as well as a campaign video for the election of the Animal Farm. We chose Old Benjamin as our candidates that we will be presenting. We will recall the parts from the book to look for good points about Benjamin and dirt on other animals. We split the work into different parts so everyone can participate. Jobs like brainstorming, script, costume, filming, editing, and poster making were given to everyone.

During this assignment, I showed communication skills while working with my teammates. While we were brainstorming for ideas, I was able to listen to the ideas of the others and was able to negotiate with them respectfully when I disagree. I told them that their ideas were great, but we could improve it better. Also, during the discussion, I could listen and mark down the information that could be helpful to my part of the work. I was able to present this information in the poster(the part that I was responsible for).

I also used critical thinking when I was evaluating and analyzing the information that I was given, which was the book Animal Farm. When I am reading through the book, I was able to identify the useful information and also to think about a solution to the information that is negative to our characters. The one thing I learned during this assignment is how different the influence can be when you word something in another way.

Core Competency Response

<<The Father>> and <<The Veldt>>


This assignment was my first time writing an essay. Though I had many troubles and confusions while I was writing and editing my essay, I eventually worked out some of these problems.

During this assignment, I mostly used creative and critical thinking to complete my essay. While I was brainstorming, I used creative thinking. I discussed with a few of my friends and asked their ideas like what kind of similarities and differences did they put in. This helped me to realize that I could observe the similarities and differences not just inside the stories but also how the author structured the stories.

When I was structuring the essay, I used critical thinking. I evaluated my materials to decide what is useful for me to use. After setting in the facts that I prepared to use, I would express my own opinion to add colors to my essay. Using the evidence to prove my points

I knew I didn’t do the best in this essay but I now have a better understanding of my own writing.  I realize that I intend to write too much and it was a bit difficult to find the central focus in my writing. This assignment had improved me in different ways.
