ESL 8, Unit 1 Reflection: The Power of Words

My reflection is here.

First, I found the 3 photos in Flickr and I chose the best one. After I chose one, I used bighugelab site to make a poster. I filled in the details in the blank boxes, which needed in to the poster, and upload the picture that I have chosen. When I finished until there, I download the poster and saved it. Finally, I got the poster. My title of the movie is Cell Phone War. I chose it to my poster movie because our documentary is about negative impact of mobile phones. We are going to say mobile phone is toxic and poisonous. These are the reasons that I chose this title. It was a bit difficult to choose that title because I didn’t have any idea at that time. But later on, I had got a good idea of it. It was a bit difficult also at first, because I didn’t really know what should I write about but finally, I got it what should I write. My first tagline was ‘Do you love your phone?’ and second tagline was ‘Do your phone love the environment?’ I chose the first tagline because the people are love very much their phones now, and I want to say and ask that. Nowadays, the people using their phones generally in their life but I want to know that they know the phones hurt the environment or not. So I chose the second tagline. There is a phone in the picture which I chose for my documentary poster. The phone color is black and white, and background is orange. The phone is folder and it opened. I think keyboard is the main of it. I have some reasons that I chose that picture. The main reason is that the picture is almost fit with the phone and I though it would match well with black and white. So I make the writing black and white.

I think making blurb is the most difficult thing for me in this unit because I didn’t know how to write it but I knew now. When I did other things, I just had to listen to my teacher and do what she told me. The other things were not that much difficult for me accept the blurb thing. I think finding emotive languages were easy for me in this unit because I just could find the words with using thesaurus which is in a dictionary. I think the other things quite easy also. I like this unit because it was fresh and it really helps to our documentary which our group is doing in English class. And the teachers was also helping us. I think I was became a risk taker and thinker. It is because that I challenged and learned new things in this unit. It was quite fresh for me. And I should think and consider much and deeply in this unit.

ESL 8, Final Projects, The Power of Words

My issue is about negative impact of cell phones. My group are going to find more information about negative impact to the environment. The cell phones are making many harmful things to the Earth and we are going to find the bad things. We should interview people also. We already got many information about it, and we found out new and amazing facts too. We still need to make more and we will make it attractively to people.

Our issue is that find the negative impact of the environment. We will make the movie by telling what are the problem and how people use the cell phones. More than half percent of people in the world are using cell phones and there are also many thrown away cell phones everyday. These are a huge problem and we should solve the problem.

We are going to make the movie be about how many people are using the phones and how they are using it. We will make the audience feel guilt and regret by telling how they were using the phones and how will it affect to environment.

Emotive Language Reflection

I used the tools such as dictionary and websites in this unit. I used thesaurus which is in dictionary, to find the same emotive languages. I also used websites which are Flickr and Creativecommon to find and create pictures. I used skills which are searching and editing to accomplish my work in the unit. I used searching skill to found pictures and words, and editing skill to created pictures. I think I will need to improve English skill.
