I am so glad to be able to say that my Senior Portfolio is done! What a relief! I can not wait until I finish my Synthesis Essay. Now hmmmmm..... what to do for this project.......... I have no idea! If anyone has any, please share!!!!!

Exam

Description:
Students will independently design their own project. The objective will be to create a project answering the question: “Are the pieces of literature used in College English still pertinent today?” The project should demonstrate quality work and planning, directly connect to a theme(s) in the literature of the course, and be presented to the class. Students must use at least one other artwork (literature, poem, visual art, song, advertisement, etc) and will also need to use at least one current event (news article, magazine article, news clip, etc) to help answer their question. The format for the answering of this question is totally up to the student to develop.
Ideas:
Ø Write a poem book (minimum of 10 shorter original poems).
Ø Write a short story (minimum of 3 pages).
Ø Create a video (minimum of 10 minutes).
Ø Create and perform a skit (minimum of 10 minutes).
Ø Create an original artwork.
o Sculpture
o Painting
o Drawing/Pastels
o Graphic Design
Ø Compose and perform a song.
Ø Make a music video.
Ø Make a scrap book.

I was a tool...

I feel now, after reading most of JGHG, that I was a tool to the government.  I didn't see how there was no honor in fighing a war.  I guess the NAVY and Marine commercials got the best of me!  But really, I feel literarily enlightened.  I think now that I can truly understand the message of Trumbo without feelings of discontent or confusion.

Relieved for now

I was able to finish my Senior Portfolio in time and also ended up doing pretty well on my synthesis essay. I believe that writing the synthesis paper helped me better understand the war and what Ms. Kreilick was trying to make us understand a couple weeks ago when she asked if going to the war was honorable. I now understand Dalton Trumbo more and hope that my corrections on my paper made it even better. I'm also glad that all I have for this weekend is to finish the rest of Johnny Got His Gun. I'm not very happy that I am going to be missing the review over the last chapters because I know this review would have ended up helping me at the end when I am taking the final test for this book. I know that I am going to be very stressed out next week because of exams and because of the tests and exam in College English. :(

FINALLY :)

I finally got my portfolio done!!
I have to admit, I waited until yesterday/ today to even start it!
I worked 6 hours on that bad boy so I hope it's good!
Procrastination seriously hit me with this project.
I'm just glad it's over!!!
