Analysis Essay for Inspiring Song
This project was made so we could help our teacher with her run and practice our writing. For this project we picked a song that we liked that had a deeper meaning to it. Once we chose this song we had to break it down into multiple pieces and find what it stood for and what the deeper meaning was. Once we had this info we had to wright a paper describing what this deeper meaning was.
I thought that this project was really fun because we got to choose any song we wanted to and force our teacher to listen to it. I chose Do Ya Thing which is a song i listen to a lot and it was pretty cool to go deeper into the song and figure out what it was about because i listened to it but never knew what it was about. I also enjoyed this project because i got to listen to the song in class and drown out whatever anyone around me was saying. |
CER
Claim Evidence Reason was a assignment we where given where we had a topic such as what is your favorite drink to have on a hot day and just had to answer the question. Once you answered the question you had to break the answer up into a few parts which are the claim evidence and reason. Once you had these sections you had to finalize your answer and correct all your mistakes.
I thought that this writing piece was pretty cool because it got a very basic concept like answering a question and just took it one step further. This assignment helped me further increase my knowledge and skill of creating answers that where valid and could stand against an argument. I also thought that this assignment was fun because it wasn't something we did a lot so it was fun because of moderation. |
Commentary for Comic Strip
In class we had IR assignments which where assignments where we read a book then completed a mini project that involved the book. The commentary was done to have a deeper story to the comic strip instead of what was just on the comic itself. This was also done to show that we had a deeper understanding of what was going on in our work and were not just writing random stuff down.
I thought this writing assignment was pretty necessary for the comic strip because i wasn't able to express everything the comic strip had going on. The comic strip was really brief so with this letter i could go deeper into what was going on. I enjoyed this project too because it was fun making my very own comic trip about y favorite book. I really hope that my teacher does these assignments again next year for her new students. |
Letter to Author Proposal for Movie
In class we had IR assignments which where assignments where we read a book then completed a mini project that involved the book. This was the letter to the author which was where we had to pick an author from a book we read and write to him about the book. For this project we had to write in a formal format and answer specific questions and include everything you would have in a normal letter.
I enjoyed this project because i got to write to one of my favorite authors and see what he had to say. Looking back on this project i wish i would have put a lot more effort into the letter because i really do care what the author thinks of me and the letter i wrote wasn't my best work. I also think that i could have been more creative with what i said in the letter because the author i wrote to is very creative himself. |
Character Sketch
In class we had IR assignments which where assignments where we read a book then completed a mini project that involved the book. For the character sketch we drew a picture of a character that was in one of our books. Along with the sketch we had to create a paper describing the character verbally since we had just created a visual description.
I enjoyed this project a lot because i got to do it on one of my all time favorite characters ever. I had to verbally describe what he enjoyed liked how he looked and a lot more. This project was also really cool because i basically forced my teacher to learn about someone she might not have wanted to learn about which was pretty cool. |
