Banned Book Reflection
How Challenging was this project for you?
This project was intermediately challenging for me because the content wasn't challenging for me but the dead lines were. Even though I turned in most assignments in on time I still struggled to meet the deadlines. I would sometimes be relaxing at home then remember I have to read to respond to the prompt given to us by the next morning. That was the only challenging thing about the Banned Book Project.
What was the easiest part of this project?
The easiest part of this project was the write up journals we had to complete every week. I found this easy because if you read and check Edmodo for the prompt it's pretty straight forward. An example of a prompt was choosing your favorite quote and responding to that quote. Another easy part in this project was commenting on others peoples write up journal.
How comfortable did you feel while making your film?
On a scale of 1-10 I felt an 8 in confidence because I reshot the video many times and by the time I found my favorite one I confidence level went up. I believe confidence is gained by attempting something many times.
Did you receive any critique?
Yes, I received critique from Anil, Mercedes, and Sofia. This critique was extremely helpful because I revised my work after they critiqued it. I think this gave me more confidence because I knew that by putting in more effort I would have an impeccable final draft. The critique was for the banned book journal.
Did you provide good feed back in the journal workshop?
I think that at the beginning I didn't give good feedback but as the weeks went on my critique was improving. I think that if Ms. Heller was to look at the critique I gave she would notice an increment in quality.
Did you actually read the book you chose?
I didn't read the book I chose at the beginning because I wasn't able to acquire it. The book I read instead is To Kill A Mocking Bird. I chose to read this book instead because the book store had it but it didn't have American Physco the day I went.
What grade do you think you deserve?
I think I deserve a B because I did all the work but I don't feel like it is A quality. That's just my unbiased opinion about my work.
If you could change anything about this project what would it be?
If I could change something about this project it would be to make it a shorter project because I feel like it wasn't enough content for the amount of time we spent on the Banned Book Project.
