Reflection

This project was a fun one but I had some troubles with it. I had difficulties with some parts of the project, and I had almost no trouble with some other parts.

I think I did pretty good on this project because I put effort into it and also good information. I feel that I have created a very good blog about my topic. Although there can be room for some improvement, I feel that I have met the standards.

The troubles I had on this project was time management. I had the benchmarks to help me but I was stuck at some parts of the project for a long time. In the end thought, I managed to get through by asking my friends for advice.

I probably could have improved on the 1 act play and the journal entry. I think I mastered some of the genres and can still improve on some other genres.

Statement of Process

This project was very fun for me but I did it in many steps. I started out in different ways and first and I was stuck at sometimes. But overall, I managed to finish the project.

I first started this project by making my bibliography. I then started to think about different kinds of genres I could do and the one that said "game" caught my eye. I then searched around the web for a quiz maker and started to make a game. Soon after that, I decided I needed some pictures so I went on google and looked for some.

In the middle of the project, I made my own viking myth with the help of some book sources. After that, I did a character profile about Odin. I was stuck for some time after that, I looked around my friends blog and decided to do a advertisment because it seemed fun. The hardest part was the news article, but after I had a brief confrence, it was a piece of cake.

In the end of my project, I kind of ran out of ideas. I asked some of my friends for ideas and I came up with a poem, skit, and journal entry.

Dear Journal,

Today I woke up and ate a very good meal. It consisted of meat from cattle and milk. I always loved to eat meat with milk because it has a distinct flavor. I live along a coast so my family and friends eat fish just about everyday. Sometimes, we eat eggs from seabirds. I realize that cooking things is a very easy job. All you do is boil the things in a pot. That's not really my favorite way of eating things though. My favorite way of eating meat is by roasting the meat on a spit. Well now I am about to go hunting with my friends.

Raids

Vikings are strong,
they're raids lasted long.
They fought like bears,
Sometimes in pairs.

They built the fastested ships,
So let me give you a some tips.
Vikings raids come out of nowhere,
As if from a secret lair.

Viking raids are like thunderstorms,
They leave things ripped and torn.
Defense would be hard to make,
And thus the vikings will take.

Reflection: This is a simile poem because I compare two things that are not alike. In the lines "They fought like bears", I'm using a simile because vikings were not really bears. Also, in the line " Viking raids are like thunderstorms", I'm also using a simile because I'm comparing viking raids to a thunderstorm.
This poem was a fun one for me to make. I enjoyed making this poem because I think that it's fun to read.
