Reading reflection

     My experience in any English class has always been on the mediocre side. Nothing was too bad or too great. English class was always a class that I just had and was able to complete without any problems. Reading is not my strongest suit so I never went above and beyond for English class. Although I can say that for every class, since I’m not that particularly fond of school. But, in the most recent years that I’ve been taking English, I notice that I’m drifting further away from the reading. I used to be a little more interest in reading in the past, but now not so much.

    My reading experience hasn’t been the greatest. Even, outside of school I’ve struggle to pick up books. I almost never managed to finished the books I wanted to read. Even now, a few months ago I bought self- improvement books with my own money, but after a couple of days I just stopped reading them. It is even worst with school books. The books that we read in school aren’t really my favorites so on top of my bad reading habits I have a little resentment towards the book. This has lead to not picking up the books at all and just reading summaries to not fail. 

    This year I’m hoping to gain any type of energy or passion to complete the books that I read. I know how fun reading can be because I experienced it. I also wanted to get back into being able to read because I know reading helps you focus. In this era of digital media and technology, focus is key for our generation. I want to be able to focus on one task and be able to stay attentive the entire time.

Project Proposal

 I choose the video commercial for my campaign because I think people will enjoy it and be more interested. A campaign would be nothing if it doesn't have any backing and support. I personally would like to watch a video because I'm so used to watching videos myself, much like many other kids my age. we are in an age where people like to watch rather then read. The video will be have a bunch of motivational quotes on reading and the benefits. The video will most likely be in montage form. It would be recognizable as a youtube short, ig reel, or tiktok. This form of short motivational content has become very popular and trendy among young men like myself. I  will add bodybuilders and strong/influential men in the background of the video to get rid of the books are girly stigma. Because knowledge is power and shouldn't be viewed in a negative manner. I have some experience in editing so the editing will be fast tempo and clean. The video will be on youtube.

Literacy Project Reflection

      My project was creating a Youtube video about how great reading is and the successful people who read themselves. My video is about 40 seconds long and it shows influential men who all read. Some of them have written books themselves. I wanted to paint the picture that reading was for everybody especially the big macho guys like Lebron and The Rock. Reading shouldn't be limited on your outwardly appearances, that's what I wanted to portray. I chose the Video because it takes the least amount of time from people.     In my video, I had two parts. the first part was quotes and there were two of them, one in the beginning and one near the end. The second part o the video was the pictures. I chose 6 men that were looked at as strong. The following were Andrew Tate, Dwayne Johnson, Lebron James, David Goggins, Michael Jordan, and for old times sake Percy Jackson. And I had a little background music to keep the flow up.     In my opinion the video is p...

Course Reflection

     I signed up because my counselor told me it was a good class to take. I hadn’t looked into the class that much and just agreed to take it. I didn’t have any expectations really, because I just want school to end, but it was a good class. I had fun even though I didn’t try as much as I should have.      My favorite novel was The Art of Racing In the Rain. It was my favorite for one reason, cars. I love cars and this book was about racing. Not only racing on the track, but racing on the track of life as well. I also loved how good of a driver Denny was, it was inspiring and I too want to be as good of a driver as him. I also liked how Enzo was named after the founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari. Also fun fact, there is a racetrack called Fiorano racetrack that was built around Enzo Ferrari’s house.  My favorite project was the infographic only because it was quick and easy. It was also pretty cool to do as well. But mostly because it was easy.  Th...
