I met this first standard of theme by analyzing the book and writing a theme that described //Because I am Furniture.// I then further analyzed the theme, over the course of the text, by summarizing the story as a journal entry. The podcast I made is written in Anke's point of view just a couple years after she stood up to her abusive father. The podcast is a summary of Anke's reflections on her decisions over the story. I also met the standard of analyzing complex characters, because by recognizing the theme and writing a journal entry from Anke's point of view, I showed how Anke grew and developed throughout the book. I analyzed Anke's decision to stand up to her father, and how difficult it was for her. || I analyzed a particular point of view by writing the podcast in Anke's perspective. I analyzed her feelings and emotions, and how hard it must be to be in her position. || *RL.9-10.6. __Analyze a particular point of view__ or cultural experience reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States, drawing on a wide reading of world literature. |||||| ** How did you meet this standard? ** I met the standard of analyzing complex characters by explaining through pictures and written descriptions how Jem changed from the beginning to the end of the story. || I also met the standard of analyzing a particular point of view. I did this by writing an account of how Jem had changed during the book through her point of view. I then took this written account, read it into the speaker, and turned it into audio for my photostory. || One thing I could improve for the next project would be my time management. I did not finish my imovie until the Sunday before the project was due. Also, I could have spent more time on making the written portion of the project be more like something Jem would actually say. I am looking forward to improving my work next marking period. ||
