It’s The End Of The World As We Know It

For all the hype you would think it would be more exciting… Hi It’s me again posting about my journey from elementary school to high school. Yeah the transition is hard enough but then you’re told to make a song about it… that’s rough.

Let’s get this party started!

At the beginning of the year in humanities we started with a project based on the outsiders  book. This book has been in the school curriculum for many years and in many schools, even my mom and dads schools in England. For this project the driving question was “How can a text help me understand myself as my worldview is changing?” I still find this a hard question to answer but this book shows so many different worldviews and I compared it to mine…

The role sheets

While we were reading this book we had to do sheets of work that were to 1. To Prove we were actually reading the book and 2. Show more understanding of what we were reading. There were 4 sheets in total, you would do 1 every week for 3 weeks in your group and on the last week when you should’ve finished the book there will have been a last role sheet the 4th one that would have lots of questions about their worldview and how it connects to yours as well. In my group was Daniel J and Emilia W you can check out their blog by clicking on their names.                                                                                          MindNode Benchmark

This was one of our benchmarks (where we couldn’t move on in the project if we didn’t finish this) This was our first time using the app MindNode and it was actually really cool. To start MindNode is basically an app to create a big mind bubble in a more organized way. This Mind Node that we created was featuring our worldview and what we believe in. This helped us organize our worldview and look at others.

Lyrics

After we finished the book the outsiders we got the assignment to craft song lyrics for a song on our worldview. But we couldn’t just write any old song you had to write the song with the same tune and lyrics to the song “It’s The End Of The End World As We Know It” you may have heard it before, your parents may have heard it before but all you need to know is that I kinda despise the song now. Whenever it comes on it just brings back nightmares or filming and creating. After everyone was finished crafting their song lyrics we had to remake them wanna know why….. BECAUSE WE GOT PUT INTO GROUPS!!! We ended up merging all our songs  together and having a great song in the end. We had to craft this song on Garage Band which is an app that you can make cool beats, songs and special effects on.

Music Video

With your group that you crafted the lyrics with you would then have to make a music video featuring your song. One person in your group (in mine that was me) then all the other group members would send pictures explaining how their worldview from elementary school has changed. Im proud of our video very much and I hope you guys will like it as well. Enjoy! Just in case you are unable to view it you can click here! Or just type in YouTube search @sienaj 

Reflection

In this project I really reflected on what world view was and how it affected me and others around me. I also learned how to work with others better and everyone contributing to the final product. With this project I have also learned that I don’t work well with everyone and that’s fine that apart of life you don’t get to work with everyone you want to trial and error. In conclusion this reject was a great start to our many other projects to come and it really helped shape me as a PLP learner more.

Thanks for reading and stay posted for my next post! 👍
