Why should students read more?

To reach the student body of U of D Jesuit to encourage reading I have decided to do a poster campaign. I have chosen this for myself for multiple reasons. Projects are regularly assigned at U of D throughout many different classes,. Having said this, when a poster has been an option, I have taken that. I like to think I am a creative person and I believe a poster is the best way I can express my feelings on why students should read more.  This is a great way to reach the students of U of D because they walk these halls everyday. On the walls around the school posters are hung and students stop to read about a new meeting occurring, football game, or an upcoming spirit day. Similar to these, my posters will captivate the eyes of the students and explain why reading is beneficial and why they should read more.

I plan on my posters to all have the same theme. Each poster will have a title of, "Why YOU should read more!" This phrase will be on top of every poster that is made so that the students know what the poster is about. My posters will not all be the same. They will follow the same format but will not all have the same context, it will be a series. The only thing that will stay the same for each poster is the title, as I stated earlier. Each poster will include 5 different facts on why reading is beneficial to do and also to educate the students on the wide variety of advantages you can achieve through reading. I also plan on having one quote from a different teacher on each poster explaining why they think reading is beneficial and its impact on students in the future. My posters not only will have text but also images to captivate the students eye. The image on one poster will be clip art of books transparent in the background of the text. The other will include covers of novels that a couple teachers think the student body should read. The 3rd and final poster will have images similar to the first but not just displayed in the background of the text. 3 posters will be made and 4 of each poster will be printed out, totaling up to 12 posters around the school. They will be posted throughout the school walls. Some posters being displayed in the cafeteria, commons, entrance to new wing, and at least one on each floor maybe two. I also plan on putting a poster going down the main stairs to the cafeteria. I think these are the best places to capture the students attention and hopefully get them interacted with the poster. I think they will be split up on when they will be posted. The 1st set of posters one day, the 2nd another day, etc. Hopefully these posters will encourage students to read more.

    Hey Chris, I like your idea, and this project is approved. You should think about what makes an eye-catching poster and whether or not all of your proposed text will still be appealing and easy to read in the hallway. Are you expecting students to stop and read the poster, or is it possible to include your planned elements while still being easily understood by those passing in the hall.

    I like the YOU should read more part of the poster. It grabs the readers attention and gives me a reason to read the poster. How many posters will you make?

My Favorite Narration: The 5th Wave

Image
One of my favorite narrators within a novel is Cassie Sullivan in Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave.  Separated from her family, Cassie must find her way back to her family as the world is under attack from an alien invasion. The reader follows Cassie and her thoughts through a whirlwind of emotions and actions throughout the 5 waves of attacks. The novel also follows the perspective of Ben Parish, a young man fighting to survive and undergoing military training. I really enjoy the perspective of these two characters because the reader experiences the first person view through all of the action in the waves and the events leading up to the attack. The reader is in the middle of the action seeing everything through Cassies and Bens eyes. It gives us a view that some books do not offer especially within a thriller novel. I was on the edge of my seat the whole book and the narration made me feel like I was there. The first person narration made me enjoy this novel much more than I woul...

Infographic Debate Project - Does technology get in the way of learning?

Image
Description: This is my infographic debate project on why technology gets in the way of learning. Technology does not need to be present in the classroom because it brings the rise of cheating and distractions while learning. No technology for the students is no problem. The studies I provide show the bad effects technology has in the classroom. Reflection: 1. One of the main reasons I chose this topic is because my partner Reed and I agreed on every topic except this one. I believe technology gets in the way of learning because of the higher use of cheating, distractions that come with technology, and the studies that show how technology is not effective. I personally believe in this topic to a certain extent. I am a user of technology in the classroom and see all the negative effects it has on my studies. So I think technology can be good if you use it correctly but the problem is most students dont. I do believe that technology increases students to get distracted, cheat more,...

TEDTalk: Why Being Outdoors is Beneficial Reflection

Image
TED Talk: Why Being Outdoors is Beneficial Reflection 1. What I knew (and didn't know about my topic when I started out).  I chose this topic because I felt like I knew a good amount on why being outdoors is beneficial to both adults and kids. I knew that being outdoors broadens someone's horizons on life. Whether this is in school or in everyday decisions, I knew that the outdoors can open up your mind to new thoughts and ideas. I also knew that the fresh air is good for someone's growth and development. although I did not how significant this effect of the outdoors is, I knew of its importance. I also knew about how someones physical health can greatly increase when outside. I did not know so much about the boosting mental health effects. To add on to this I also did not know that the outdoor can reduce inflammation. Scents from the outdoors can also improve someone's growth which I found very interesting. 2. Why I Selected This Topic.  I chose this top...
