Course Reflection

Contemporary Literature Course Reflection 

I signed up for this course because I thought it would be a blowoff class. This class far exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed this class because it forced me to read books and I actually enjoyed reading. The book choices were so fun. 

    My favorite novel that we read in class this semester was "The Art of Racing in The Rain". I really enjoyed the realistic problems that Denny was thrown into and the idea of the dog being the narrator. I really enjoyed most novels we read in class but this one was definitely my favorite.

    My favorite project was the This I Believe. I really enjoyed getting to explain how I feel and what I believe in. I enjoyed being able to use personal experiences to discuss why I feel a certain way about something. Reading it into the computer was kind of fun to do too.

    I think that students should take this course to rekindle their love for reading. I hated reading before I took this class, but then I realized that there are actually fun books that I can enjoy. This class allows for students to actually enjoy modern books and not super old boring books. This class helped me enjoy reading and I hope it can do the same for future students.

    The dog being the narrator added a great writing style to the art of racing in the rain

Infographic Debate

Description Marijuana shouldn't be legalized because of its dangers to young teens. Legalizing it makes it seem safe or healthy to do and it draws teens in. I used facts and statistics from valid sources to help prove my side of the argument. I also used charts to make the information easier to gather. I argue that marijuana should not be legalized, due to all of the downsides I state in the infographic. Reflection  I picked this topic because I believe that it is one of those arguments that is so easy to pick a side and just use facts that defend your point without listening to a counter-argument. I portrayed my argument in a few charts and quick short facts. I believe that it makes my infographic easy to read and gather information from.  It is not a side I personally believe in. It made researching a little bit more challenging because I did not believe the side I was arguing for. The researching was easier when I could just ignore any counter-arguments to my main points.

Reading Campaign Proposal

  Noah Hunter   R eading Campaign Proposal   To grasp the attention of the majority of the high, I have chosen to do a social media campaign. I believe that it is the most effective way to get o ther high schoolers to view it. Posters hanging around the school go unnoticed all the time, but a social media account always gets an initial view. I believe that most students are on some type of social me dia and will see my campaign, even if they don’t want to. They might see me from a story repost or see my account as a recommended account. There will be a couple posts spanned out within a few days. The posts will have an attention-grabbing image and a quote about reading. There will be a hashtag an d it will be # readersareleaders . That will be my hashtag because it’s catchy and shares a simple message. I will be posting on Instagram because I feel most confident that it will be the most engaging social media I could use. In the bio of the Instagram page, I wil...
