My Topic:Writing

My topic is writing because since I was young, I’ve always loved reading and have always wondered whether I could capture the same essence an author does in his/her book. This was the perfect chance for me to experiment.

The Area Of Interaction Focus:Human Ingenuity

This was my chosen A.O.I because it relates most to my project. My product is solely based on my creativity/ingenuity and without it, I would not be able to complete my product.

My Goal:

To write a creative writing piece for teenagers.

Product: A book

My Specifications:

• The product must be a written piece of work (a short story)

• The product must be 100-200 pages

• The book must have at least 10,000 words

• The book must be published• The target audience of the

book must be teenagers• The book must address an

issue that teenagers relate to and face (bullying and self-esteem)

• The book must be fully written by November

A RANGE OF NOVELS

One of my sources for my information was actual novels. I read

a couple of novels to gain more knowledge and understanding on

different language styles and different techniques that authors

use. An example of a novel I read to gain information is The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott. Fitzgerald.

A RANGE OF ARTICLES

One of the sources I used for my information is articles. The articles that I found were about how one

actually plans before writing a book and how one starts/goes through

the process. These articles were very helpful/useful for me and gave me a lot of information that I would not

have known before.

A RANGE OF VIDEOS

Another source I used in my research is videos. The videos I found helped explain things that I absolutely needed to have in

my book. These are the elements of a book that are compulsory and some

others that would help make the book more interesting.

• Decisions that I made according to the information I found, Solutions I came up with:

- Change in goal- Specifying/adding detail to

the initial specifications

• Progress in Creation?

• What needs to be done?

Strengths:• Communication/Collaboration• Thinking

-(initiation taken in conduction of meetings)-(decision-making and solutions)-(making sure ATL skills are included in the blog)

Weaknesses:• Information Literacy• Organization

-(research skills – in-depth or not)-(evaluation of sources)-(time-management)
