For my project, my group created an Instagram page as if we were Salman Rushdie to talk about the different examples of allegories in the novel. We chose to do this because it was a unique way of showing our information and allowed us to be more creative. My group wanted to try something we knew would stand out from the rest of the class and try something we hadn't done in class before. Looking back, I have never done a project like this. My projects are usually less motivated by creativity and more focused on just showing information. I think the way my group set up this project, we allowed ourselves to think outside of the box and see what we could accomplish. As I just mentioned, I really enjoyed the creative aspect of our project. I think it was interesting to set up this page and write as if we were the author explaining our novel. It was a format I have never seen before. However, I was frustrated with our content. I think that because we were focused on the creativity, we did not cover all of the necessary information. We could have done a better job at really explaining our topic.
If I were a teacher, and I used the design specs rubric (see above), I would say that we did a very nice job. We were able to create a unique project as well as present the necessary information. Our group created a project that has many intriguing aspects through our posts and our captions. If I were the teacher and I had to take off any points, it would be in the relevance category. I feel as if our purpose for the project may have been overshadowed by the setup of the page and the other aspects of our posts.
In the future, I would improve the quality of the information that we provided and I would continue to be more creative. I hope to find a balance between meeting both the requirements for the information and the beauty and uniqueness of the project. I believe that if I am able to do this, I will be much more successful.
