Beginning My Reflection

American Icon Reflection:

I am proud of this work because it was one of the first project of the year and I wanted it to represent some of my best writing. I spent a lot of time editing and revising my writing. There was also a lot of research involved because I didn't know any details of my icons past which I needed to include in my essay.

When choosing my icon I made sure to pick someone I was interested in. This helped in my research portion of the project because I had already been to some Eminem websites before. A portion of the essay was about his childhood and the rest included his accomplishments throughout life and how I would like to have similar accomplishments.

H2O Project Reflection:

I'm proud of the H2O project because of how much time and effort I spent on the writing. All my ideas were original and the pictures that I used were taken myself. I am also proud of this particular project because all of my ideas were original. It also felt good to know more about the singer because now I know that we have a lot of similarities.

On top of all the work at school that included doing research, critiques, editing, and revising I had to spend time at home working on this project. This required good time management and to spend an equal amount of time on other assignments from different classes. In order to create an efficient program I spent a lot of time studying how Heal the Bay, Coastkeeper and other programs worked. It was key to have a program similar to other successful programs because the the program need to have a realistic plan. I believe my product turned out as it did because of the time spent after school and all the extra critiques I got.
