Think Creatively

I had to really think how to format my poster and I came up with the idea of showing a story-line of images to show what the Lost Boys really went through during their long journey. By showing the whole story-line, I think the audience would give more sympathy because people would know and understand what the Lost Boys really faced during the whole migration process.

Reason Creatively

I used the images to show their journey and texts to give the audience a better idea of what the images are really implying on the poster. For example, I would put 6 to 8 images to show a situation that the Lost Boys are facing and I would one to three more words to describe the situation that they are in.

Communicate Effectively

The whole point of this collage was to drag sympathy towards the Lost Boys and by doing that, I think it will definitely create awareness for the Lost Boys’ plight. And the collage shows and tells what the Lost Boys are really needing in their lives at the moment. It is also important to catch peoples’ attention on the Lost Boys’ migration. So I thought the best idea was to create a story-line and by that way, people would understand all of their difficulties and the troubles they faced. I also included some texts in terms of what they faced during the migration

Live ethically

A story-line, in my opinion, is the best way to show the Lost Boys’ difficulties because a story includes all the information people need to know so I chose that way to draw sympathy. I think people wouldn’t really understand to show enough sympathy if they don’t know what the Boys really went through during their migration. I tried looking for the most sympathetic images to melt peoples’ heart and big word choices that would catch peoples’ attention.

Writing Reflection

Ideas and Content

I would use quotes to describe a person’s characterization while giving explanation based on how the quotes relate to their characters. For example, I wanted to characterize Brutus as an honorable and patriotic man towards his country so I chose a quote that best fit him based on his characterization and my quote was “Let’s be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.” – Brutus. After that, I would give a reasonable explanation how the quote relates to his character. On the other hand, I could have really improved on giving a clear and precise explanation for the quote since I think my words weren’t clear enough in terms of what I was trying to say.

Organization

I think I did a decent job in terms of my organization on my writing. Each of my body paragraph starts off with a quote and an explanation to it but what I think I am missing is a proper introduction to my essay. I should have included a summary of Brutus’s characterization before I started off with the body paragraphs.

Personal growth

Yes I do note some improvement in terms of grammar usage and vocabularies. Although I still need a ton of improvement on my writing and I really have to put a lot of effort in my writing assignments.

SLR Reflection

I think I really had to think creatively to choose the right quote from the book that fits the person’s characterization. It was really important to choose the right quote since not all quotes can be given a clear explanation on his or her character. In general, I think I had to think creatively to get the appropriate quotes since I think that is what matters the most in this essay.
