In the “Banned Book Project”, we had to find a book that has been banned at other schools and read it write a journal every week and publish them on our dp and then we make a bookmark about why it was banned. Before the exhibition for this project we had to bring a food to school that was related to your book and wrote descriptions on what it meant in the book and made a creative name for the food piece. At the end of every project we have to write a reflection.
This project we not super challenging that just sometimes I would fall back on my journals and my reading but I caught up at the end like on my reading and my journals. I also had trouble coming up on how i was going to decorate the book mark but i also solved that problem by trying and testing new things out. The easiest part of this project was actually doing the bookmark it because I glued different size pieces of book pages and glued it on my bookmark then drew out a beer bottle, needle, and a pill bottle that says #rip alice and thin the middle of the bookmark it says “dear diary” because the book was written in first person. I received barely any critique all I got from my friends family and teach was good job and write your name on the back and turn it in that's about it. My parents saw me every night after soccer like 9;30 working till like 10;30 just on my book bookmark for the three days before exhibition. Some people also told me to add color but i felt like it throw off the mood I was going for. Two people that I critique were Mercedez and Bethany. Mercedes we read the same book and just told her how I liked how she wrote her journal and how she wrote her spin off in the last journal and I asked her what her favorite part off the book was. Bethany, she had a really interesting spin off because she really got a chance to relate to one of the characters in her book. I did actually read the book it had a lot of ups and downs in the book with alice but in the end she sadly died and when life was barely starting to get good for her. I totally recommend to friends just be prepared for all those inappropriate ups and down cause there is a lot. I am very proud of my bookmark because I learned calligraphy over the summer and I final got to use it on a project and it turn out really creative and professional.I am also proud because I drew some really cute little draws and the bookmark pulled all the work together. I had the conversation with my friends parents and I told them about my 3 min pitch and way it was a banned at a elementary school and I also talked about the progress my bookmark went through and the progress of the whole project. They asked lots of question about my bookmark and how I made it. I think I deserve a (A)-(-A) because I did really well speaking to parents and interacting with other grade levels and my book mark was on point. As I said before I took my time on perfecting my bookmark like three days before exhibition and it was basically perfect. I should all not get a A+ because I sometimes forgot to do my comments so I was also not perfect I was a little of both. If I could change anything about this project would be to be on top of it more so I did fall behind at the end. But overall I did everything exactly as i expected and I would really change anything else because It turn out really good in my opinion. |
