Op Ed and Political cartoon reflection
Project Description: For this project what I did was pick one thing to study and how its been or effected globalization. What I personally picked was how globalization has effected disabled or handicapped individuals. After that, we did a lot of research and then made an op-ed writing all about it. While in the process of of doing this, we also completed a political cartoon.
Learning Reflection: I feel that the biggest understanding about globalization that I took away from this project was that globalization may almost be moving too quickly for the rest of the world to keep up and be happy. The disabled are really being left behind because of it. The biggest take away I got from it, looking at other peoples projects as well, I've noticed that for the most part, globalization does not help the world.
Cartoon Reflection: I feel that while doing the cartoon aspect of this projects, I have really learned how much revision can make some really beautiful pieces of work. Some major things that I changed from my first draft all the way to my last one, was that was on the buildings. The home for disabled started as looking just like a normal house. Though now, it looks more like a run down, abandoned hospital. Same as the newer hospital, I made it look neater, and newer.
OP ED Reflection: I feel that while I was writing this Op Ed I really put time into it. I really tried to find as much information and as many quotes as I could to ale it as professional as I can. I think I could just work on just using my information more wisely. I had the right info, I just didn't use it in the exactly right way.

Africa imperialism: creative historians
For this project my class did a various amount of things. First off, we did all the research we could on our specific. In my case, I chose Madagascar and researched the time period from when they were first gaining back their independance. Next, we created a historical fiction based around that event. My story was about a young man named Onja that was dealing with the death of his beloved grandmother from influenza only to find his older brother, Kevin, might also die from the same disease. Once we finished that, we made an art piece to represent the story in some way. My art piece was a photoshop document that I printed. The main subject of my photo was a silhouette of a young man sitting on a bench looking down representing my main character of course. Above him I had a dark angel looking down on him representing the angel of his grandmother looking down on him. Behind it all, I had a very neat galaxy picture cropped into the background with a tree; Representing the young man's struggles with life and death. I feel like the biggest thing I took away from this project was all the information I learned about Madagascar and even just Africa as a continent.
As for the literary elements. I feel my story was the strongest in tone. Throughout the entire story thre seems to be this sad and upset tone to every sentence that I wrote. then progressively things start getting happier and better; Especially for my main character. An example; "I supposed you could say that I’m a very quiet young man, no matter who I’m around, especially with my family. They luckily have just accepted the act that I hardly talk at all. They even often make jokes about it when I finally do speak. One saying that I often hear myself thinking is there’s no need for speaking if there’s nothing important to say.
I set down my bread as I stared down at my food; it was like it was mocking me, taunting me. Like as if it saying, “I look good. I know I do. Though don’t eat me. Don’t eat me. Mother and Father deserve the food more than you.” I shook the racing thoughts out of my head as I noticed..." I feel this is a good example of how my story best suits tone because it shows how my main character truly feels about life."
I feel that the weaker aspect of my story was the setting. I should've talked or "showed" more about the time period and where exactly the story was placed. I feel that it was most difficult for me because I tend to like to focus on the emotions and the characters and neglect where my characters actually are. So I just forget about it completely and go very in detail about my characters thoughts, emotions, and actions.
When revising my story, I actually added quite a bit to my story; a page and a third to be more exact. One is actually worked at the most challenging aspect for me, which I said before, that was the setting. I added more detail and more description about what time period it was and more. The second was I did a little more research and add more of that information into my story. For example, I made the brother have more symptoms then he did before that he has Influenza.
