During our term 1 in humanities, we created a few different projects, but the one I was most proud of was my Seattle video. On our trip to Seattle, we worked very hard to collect footage for our unit projects, based on the slogan: “Cray Cray Yay Yay”. We worked in groups to create short documentary movies, on the App iMovie, based on certain topics; my group focused on how the idea of MTV was “crazy”!
For me, it was well thought out and portrayed, and I expressed my knowledge of MTV in the movie.

From this project, I learned a lot of cool information that I will keep with me for a long time. A lot of what we researched is part of our history that, for me, is as important as anything historical. For next time, I think that we should incorporate more interesting footage, and a bit less dialogue to make the movie more gripping.
Overall in humanities, I am eager to learn new things, I am engaged in class, and I partake in the interesting activities that we do. An example of this is when we were reading the book, “Leviathan”, and we worked in groups to discuss the book, after every section we read.
Here is one of my role/discussion sheets:
But I also have some weaknesses when it comes to my learning in humanities class; I can get bored or off task if the topic we are studying is uninteresting for me. This can happen if we aren’t doing any discussions or any activities to go along with the work, to keep me “excited for what we are going to be doing next class”. This can also be a solution, and may help me to engage in topics that I am having trouble focussing in.
