Literacy Program Project Proposal

Short Proposal:
For this project, I intend on doing a poster campaign.

Detailed Proposal:
This poster campaign will take place in three different locations in the school, one for each wing of the building.  Each poster I intend on looking the same, but in my head, the base design will still pop out.  It will consist of a title near the top to lure in any that choose to look at the boards these will be posted on.  The base design, as previously noted, will pop out due to a more abstract approach with colors that are complementary in a graphic design-ish format.  On the poster(s) there will be boxes of text, or just text, that will promote the message of the project, "read".

Comments

  1. Joe, this is very vague. What information will your posters include? Are you promoting specific books? Are you promoting reasons to read? What will the titles be, and what will the boxes of text be about? How will you convince your audience to read more?

    Will these posters all have the same design? What will connect them so that it is clear they are part of the same campaign? Will it include some type of slogan?

    Where will these posters be posted? How many copies of each design will you make?

    Don't forget that the posters need to be on the walls by Friday and Mr. Chandler needs time to sign off and approve them before they can be hung around school.

Literacy Project Reflection

The poster you see right below is what I made for my literacy project.  There were other options for this project, such as making a video or creating/leading a twitter campaign.  I didn't choose those options for what I believe to be pretty good reasons.  Why I hadn't chosen to make a video was due to how it had been months since I had used an editing software, plus the last time I tried using it, it didn't work.  As for the twitter campaign, that would have required me to have some level of social skill, meaning that I am unaware of how to make any kind impact via social media.  With those other options in mind as not being right for me, it seemed correct to go along with making a poster.  Besides, it would have been good practice for some other classes I am taking.   As you can see, the poster has a stark but smooth design in which the books are the focus.  Those books in question are the very same as the required reading for the Contemporar...

The Art of Racing in the Rain Review

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein makes an interesting take on the subject of narration for books.  The book is narrated by an observant dog named Enzo and is basically a story about his family’s life from his perspective.  Enzo acts as an excellent observer to everything happening to his owner, Denny Swift, Denny’s wife, Eve Swift, and daughter, Zӧe Swift.  He watches as his family reaches the highs of their lives, and tries his best to help when they are among the lower parts. Reading The Art of Racing in the Rain treats the reader to a new perspective in storytelling while simultaneously creating a rollercoaster of emotions that ends up being worth the struggle in the end. As acclaimed before, the narration of Gath Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain is quite unique and wonderful for having a dog being the main character.  The ways that Enzo portrays things is so different compared to how a human narrator could do it.  He exclaims multiple...

This I Believe

Audio and voice recording >>   I believe in the uniqueness of different countries’ societies; the differences in everyday occurrences that people endure.  I believe in how life can be complete opposites for citizens of different countries.  From the ages of two to eleven I lived in Tokyo, Japan.  My family was one in a million, an all American family in a pool of Asians, Europeans, and Africans.  I lived my life day to day being unable to understand what most of the other people were saying in languages other than English.  I spent my time with bi-lingual friends who would oftentimes speak to their families in their native tongue while I sat back and waited for them to speak English again.  It wasn’t weird and I didn’t question it because it was all I knew.  I would walk through crowds of Japanese people saying things I did not understand and not even acknowledge that I couldn’t tell what they were saying.  This was life for me....
