Strangely enough, throughout this first year of school, some of my favorite assignments have been the ones where I am either working off the record for extra credit, or when I am working with a group. One of the things I am most proud of is my video for extra credit in our Great Expectations unit. I really enjoyed finding those clips and editing them until I reached a final product that I believe exemplified some of the pivotal components in the novel. Admittedly, the book itself was not my peak within this year of English, but I find that I was able to capture what caught the audience within the novel in my trailer.
Furthermore, I think it was quite fun to make a video for an English class. Increasingly within our culture, technology is becoming more and more imperative to achieve a high position job in any field. As literacy within film rhetoric evolves into the key method of reaching vast groups of people, the definition of what English is being redefined as well. I think the ample opportunities for technological integration within this class was a great chance for students to improve on these skills.
