Hero Project Reflection

1. How does a hero become a hero?
I believe a hero becomes a hero when they do something memorable. This can be good or bad. The hero is a role model to someone and usually stands up for them.

2. Project Description: In this project we worked with our personal hero, giving interviews with them, taking pictures of them, and really bonding with them to learn more about what makes them a hero, helping us answer the essential question: How does a hero become a hero? We revised our character sketches many times, and the peer reviews from the other class helped a lot.

3. Process: What steps did you take to get to the final product?
I met the deadlines, I think(haha), and keeping my drafts separate helped a lot. One date that I missed was actually finishing the template. I was sick most of that week, so I had an extension, but I still missed my extended deadline. I went to office hours and made it up, with the help of my friends.

4. Reflection: What did you learn? What challenges did you encounter? What would you do the same or different? How will this help you later?
From this I learned how much I love my sister. She really is amazing. And I couldn't have done this without her, so thanks Courtney. When publishing my template I had a lot of trouble, but during MAC News I managed to finish it, but only with the help of Jack Marschke. Diego and Mele helped me out in office hours, so I knew what I had to do. Next time I'll learn to ask for help sooner.

5. Habits of Mind: For this project, I used perspective. When doing one of the peer critiques, we hand over our paper to another student, and have them look at our paper, and vice versa. Well when I got my paper back, I was surprised to see that this student had read my paper and seen it in a different way. From then on I considered the reader's perspective a lot m,ore.
