I LOVE doing creative projects so this assignment was a lot of fun for me. I liked seeing the work that my classmates did as well. It's great to see when people really put a great deal of effort into what they are doing. This is true for everything, but is very evident in this assignment who really gave their best effort on the project because it shows.
Ting
Poem: A Greed for Power
This poem talks about the plot of the novel and has added questions of actions the animals could have taken to not lead themselves to destruction in the end. I think this was cleverly written and shows an in depth knowledge of the novel. I could clearly see foreshadowing through out the poem.
Leah
Comic Strip
Leah did a project that I found very creative. On the left of the comic there is a quote that Napoleon says in the book next to a translation of what the pigs actually meant. I can see that she put much thought into her work. I wish that this could happen in real life, some kind of decoder to find out what people really mean when they talk to you.
Reagan
Poem: Tyranny
I find it is amazing how much is said through this poem through so few words. Each stanza gets right to the point about some of the major conflicts in the novel. There is also a cleverly embedded theme of tyranny in the core of each line. I definitely enjoyed reading this.
Mackenzie and Alena
Movie trailer
I thought that this movie trailer was very well done. This group used a mixture of real animals and plastic toys which lead to a comedic view of the animals in the story. This video is very funny and I have laughed every time I watched it. the use screens before every scene describing what the next clip would be about prepared the audience for what was coming.
Donna
Movie
This movie was very cute. I loved the use of stuffed animals in the movie. I think that the music was chosen well because the right tone was set for the different clips that were shown. Adding the song beasts of England also added to the building of the theme for the movie. This group worked very hard to make a movie this well created.
D'Andra
Poem
This poem talks about the plot of the novel though the animals point of view. There is a constant theme of "by himself" which I think symbolizes how the in the end of the novel it seems to be the theme "Every animal for himself." I think that this poem almost seems like it could be a song.
Chase, Ketl, Sherwin, and Zach
Song
The the somber tone in the novel was translated into this song well. The beginning does not sound like all the voices are completely together and is in a somewhat minor key. This leads to an eerie feeling that can be found in the beginning of the book when the animals are just starting out. I also enjoyed the "remix" of the song that the group created near the end. I think that this group did great job and a good project is evidence of this.
Will and Paul
Comic Strip Timeline
The format of this timeline is done well and shows the plot with funny pictures of pigs. However I wish there was more explanation for it and that it was a bit longer to show a summary of the whole plot. all of the main points could be seen, but it just needed something more.
Rachel
PowerPoint Game
I thought this game showed a great amount of creativity. Rachel created a fun game that could be played by people who have read the novel Animal Farm. The questions were not just "yes or no" but actually made the person think in depth to the focus of the book. I wish some tests were created like this!
Britney
Picture
It seems as if this is a picture of a barn and windmill while it's raining. I can't quite tell what is in the barn. I wish there was an explanation for this drawing to give the viewers more of an idea of what it is about.
I think some projects were done very well, but I think the trailer my group created measured up to others. We found many literary elements and incorporated all of them into one movie. I enjoyed making a fun video with friends and I can't wait to do more projects like this in the future.
