ESL 8, Unit 1 Final Project Displays

 

Our issue is about negative impact of cell phones. We will tell about how phones affect to the environment. People don’t really know about how can affect to people and environment. When people throw out their phones, we bury them in the soil but they are made of plastics and some metallic materials so they never goes away in the soil.

Phones affect to the earth in a negative way and we are gonna tell about how can phones be recycled. Now, about 60% of people in the world are using cell phones. However there’s a big amount of phones are thrown away each day.

Our movie is about how phones affect the environment and how can they be recycled. We want our audience to know about how serious problems can caused by phones. We will also try to make them feel guilt and make them not to buy or throw away their phones when they can still used.

Unit Reflection: The Power of Words

Written Reflection


At first of the unit, we chose our emotive language for our documentary. We found 3 different thesaurus for our emotive language. I learned to use different words with same meaning in this unit. After that, we wrote blurb for our documentary. We learned what is blurb. Last, we made the poster for our documentary.

We used Flickr to find picture to use for the poster. Then we used Big Huge labs to create a poster. We discussed and chose "Cell Phone Wars" for our title. To make title was difficult because I didn't have ideas. My taglines were “Do your phone hurt the environment?” and “Save environment from the phones.” My friend gave some ideas to make taglines and I chose my taglines from that idea. The picture I used was showing lots of phones thrown away.


 I think the poster was difficult. It was hard for me to create title and taglines. I think the emotive language part was easy for me. I need to study some words but it was easier than making title and taglines. I liked some and I didn’t like some. Some of them are interesting but some are hard. I think I became Knowledgeable in this unit. I learnt English more and tried to give second thought for my work. After I finished the work, I write reflection about what I’ve done, it can help me to improve my work next time.

Video Reflection

Emotive Language Reflection

I used thesauruses to find different words. google docs and google presentation to share my emotive language with others. I used Flickr to find pictures that can use or edit. I used Picnik to edit picture that I found in Flickr. I used researching skills to find picture that suited with my words. I need to improve my English skills.
