During the hero’s project, I was able to use a cool website to design a super hero which worked on creativity as well as a poster. By creating the poster I was able to use Microsoft word, word art and other things to help create images for my poster. I also learned how to place things in different ways and order to draw more attention to a certain area of the poster. Along side the creative part of this project I was also able to really learn about a specific element in my case mercury and find out interesting facts about my element as well as learn other things about all elements.
2. What did you find most interesting about this exhibit activity and why?
The thing I found most interesting about this exhibit was how different elements reacted and fused with other elements to create and change things. I also thought it was very interesting to see that some elements didn’t go well with other elements and to see why they didn’t react well or at all with another element.
3. In what way(s) did you find this exhibit a challenge to complete?
One of the main challenges I found during this project was the creative part. I’m not very creative at all and it was hard to try and make my poster colorful and creative and good looking. I also found that I had to rely on myself and could split up the work with a partner which made it more time consuming.
4. If you were to do this activity again what changes would you make and why?If I had the chance to re due this activity I probably would have spent more time on the poster and put more effort into the what materials I used like instead of taping everything down I think it would have been better if I glued it.
5. What change(s) in attitude or behavior helped you to meet the challenge?
Unlike the timeline project I decided not to procrastinate and work on it throughout the week so I wouldn’t have to rush and do it all on one night. This was a good choice I had plenty of time to do the project and chanced a few things throughout the week. If I had procrastinated I wouldn’t have been able to correct and change a few things and probably would have left something out like my partner and I did on the timeline.
6. What grade would you give yourself for these reflections, from “1” to “4”, where “4” is the best? (Refer to the E-Portfolio Reflection Rubric.)Give specific evidence explaining why you gave yourself that grade.
I would give myself a 4 because all of my answers are well developed and have a lot of great information that is required in the rubric. I also think I desire this grade because my answers to the questions aren’t something that most people would write and are well thought out honest answers.
