Literacy project reflection

 

The Literacy Project was a considerable success, although I had to make some changes to my original plan. Originally, I planned to create an Instagram account and post different book suggestions, but as we only had two weeks to do the project, I did not think that an account would be able to garner a large enough following for the idea to have any impact. So, to ensure that the campaign reached the largest number of people possible, I decided to create posters that I placed around the school in high-traffic locations. This means that all that people have to do is look at the poster and read it. To do this, I made the poster as eye-catching as possible, with a bright red background that stands out from the mostly maroon and white color scheme of the other posters around it.


    The poster itself talked about all of the good parts of reading for fun and how it can also translate into reading for school. it talked about how the main reason that school books are so hard is a lack of experience with that type of literature, making the wording confusing and boring to read. However, if a person has read on their own and built up their ability on their own, reading books for school isn't as hard to do anymore, as they have the background and skill in reading to be successful while reading the books in question. All in all, the poster project ended up working really well and I'm happy with the way that the literacy project turned out, even if it wasn't exactly how I expected it would.

    I like the contrast from the ripped paper on the red.

    Your thought process for how reading for pleasure translates to school work is really interesting, in the good way.

Ted Talk Reflection

Image
       As a yearly wrap-up project for this year’s Contemporary Literature class, Mr. Davidson tasked the whole class to each make a Ted Talk on a topic they believe in or know a lot about. I decided to do “Traditions Are Important” for my topic, mainly because I had recently used my family's tamale making tradition for my Michigan college Essay on communities. However, the process was a lot harder than I initially thought, and I hope that this reflection will help illustrate that journey.   What I Knew   Going into this project, the only tradition that really came to my head when I thought about it was my family’s tamale making tradition . So, there wasn’t much to go off in terms of personal experience, but as I had already started this project, I figured that there was some interesting stuff I could find if I did the research. So, I decided to illustrate my point with my family’s tradition, and then supplement it with a lot of things that pe...

Reading Reflection

 This week for my Contemporary Literature class I was asked three questions, and in this post I am going to answer them.  Reflection Questions     1. What has your English class experience been like so far?      2. What has your reading experience been like so far?      3. What are you hoping to gain by taking this class?      So far, the way that I would describe my experience with English class over the years is easy. For as long as I can remember, I have always been good at english class and never really had to try when it came to reading, writing, and taking tests. I remember I'd sometimes choose to read a book and write the essay at the same time the night before, and even then I'd still get an A on the assignment. To me, English class is probably my favorite class out of any of my core ones and I usually have a good time each year.      My reading experience really started for me in elementary school. ...

Fantasy/ Science Fiction Questions

 Today in class Mr. Davidson asked us to reply to the following three questions, so I'm going to try and answer them in this post.  1. Do you like to read fantasy or Science Fiction? why or why not?  2. What fantasy or Science fiction location from a Novel is your favorite? would you want to go there yourself? why or why not?      I have enjoyed reading Fantasy and Sci-fi novels since I was in grade school. I started with books like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. One of my favorite parts about fantasy and sci-fi novels is the familiarity and difference that these worlds can have, like in Harry Potter, where things like paintings and stairs aren't even fully what they seem. Or in sci-fi novels, which have tons of futuristic technology, and some things that would make life so much easier. If I could go to any location from any fantasy or sci-fi novel, I'd have to choose Hogwarts from Harry Potter. I know that it is a pretty overused location, but the reason ...
