Year End Blog

My most enjoyable English 20-1 project that I did this year was the film presentation. This film presentation was pretty enjoyable because I and Connor could both use a movie that we both watched and enjoyed, unlike usual English projects, it is mandatory to watch a movie given by the teacher and this is why it was really enjoyable, the choices were endless and using a movie that you actually like is really fun. This project was pretty appealing because every student could deliver its own opinion during the many presentations so that they could mark them for nominations. This project was really interesting because we could see every group of student’s different opinions of which movie deserved to be the best movie of all time. Also, the other enjoyable thing about this movie presentation was that the winners of the nominations got awards, because usual projects students only get rewarded with marks. My least favorite thing from this whole year was the story “The Road” written by Cormac McCarthy. This story was pretty boring because the whole book was different from other regular and the story characters were pretty annoying. The story line was pretty difficult to understand because there were so many things happening at all times and the story was also depressing. What I really hated about this book was how the story line, the characters and details were really dull. Any other author could make the story better. The thing that I wouldn’t mind doing again but I would change it slightly would be the movie presentation. The reason why I enjoyed making that presentation was because we chose the movie that we wanted which means it was pretty entertaining. The thing I would change about this project would be how we could watch the movies presented in the last three days of the year and all group that got nominated would get an award but as valuable as the ones who actually won the nominations.
