Reflection Questions for Film: NAME:

Directions: Respond to the following questions in a MINIMUM of five sentences, referring to specifics from your writing/drafting.

1. What did I do well? What aspect of my presentation am I proud of in this project?

I think I did a good job on picking well rounded topics of discussion. I got a good amount of info on all my slides. Also I covered everything on the rubric. I think I did a good job expressing my reaction to the movie. I included pictures on all my slides and made it look appealing. 

2. What aspect of the project did I struggle with during the process? Why?

The main struggle was my ADHD but within the project was the Tom Hanks slide. It was hard because of the lack of info on his role. Also the citations were hard until I asked Mrs.Green to get me to purdue owl and that helped a lot. The quotes were difficult to find and use within my presentation. 

4. What would I do differently if I could do it again? How would I change it?

I would have started working on the project sooner. I had some capitalization errors within my project. And I would have presented better, had more eye contact and spoke louder. I needed to to make my quotes fit better and would have added some better context to them. Also I would have made notes instead of just reading off my slides.

Student Feedback for films used in the course:

1.       Over the course of the term, which of the films we watched was your favorite? Why?

I liked Saving Private Ryan a lot but for an in class film I liked Unforgiven. I really enjoyed the movie because it was really exciting and the final battle was really cool. I  liked the hard acting and the time it took place in and they didn’t have any fancy technology. I liked the makeup and how the cowboys actually looked how cowboys would look and they weren’t “pretty boys”. I liked how Clint Eastwood was so humble and loyal to his wife and kids. 

2.       Which film was your least favorite? Why?

 I didn’t like the Wizard of Oz because it was old and there was no crazy action. First of all the music wasnt of my taste however she did have a good voice. It seemed like it was oriented towards a younger audience. And it was too unrealistic with all the colors and witches and wizards. The story in general was not holding my attention. I was not interested. 

3.       Which of the film project titles might you consider watching over the winter or a break?

I would like to watch some more Clint Eastwood. I think he’s very talented and he even directs some of the movies he’s in. I really like his style, it’s really humble and cool. I didn’t know I liked westerns before this. I’ve actually really disliked them until now because I watched one when I was little and it wasn’t star wars so I didn’t like it. It kept my attention very well too. 

4.       Recommend a film title that should be considered for a future run of Film Analysis.  Why should it be included in the course?

I think we’re missing Star Wars in our class. I would recommend episode 3 but episode 4 is the award winning original so you may have to show that one. I think this is a good movie to show because there’s lots of lore within Star Wars and some people may get hooked. It has a very famous soundtrack and you could use it to teach about that. And you could use it to explain framing and different kinds of shots.

1. What aspect of my artifact am I most proud of? Use specific examples.

I am the most proud of almost finishing 2 classes I got one done but couldn’t finish the other one.

1. What aspect of creating this artifact was most difficult for me? Use specific examples.

I think finishing the math was the hardest part at sometimes I was struggling to get 3 topics a day because of how hard they were.

1. How does this artifact connect to the Profile of a Graduate?  Be specific in your connection (which of the 6 Cs).  Be sure to tag it in your portfolio.

This connects with critical thinking because at points in this class I had to think really hard.

1. How do I plan to take this learning forward?  Or, What would I change (or keep the same) if I created this artifact again?

I would keep going on math the way I am and hopefully we dont go online again.

In this class we made up math that we didn’t have done. I thought I learned a pretty good amount in this class. I learned more critical thinking which is good for me because I dont think most of the time.

In this class we did a presentation about nuclear power and I probably learned the most within that presentation. Understanding nuclear power was probably the hardest part of this assignment I just used a video for mine to explain. It connects to the profile of a graduate in the critical thinking category because it was mostly hard thinking. I would have added more info if I did it again especially in the nuclear fission part of the assignment.
