A Migrant, life overseas thousands of miles away Beyond borders, defeated smiles bearing sighs and tears array The grey skies in their eyes are a disguise to hide Love, compassion and happiness Looses its meaning, when we access Our hearts need to open, as I start with myself We are all the same, in our own ways Let’s embrace equality, the right to a place to live, have a humble home, safe and sound
Here is my blackout poem on the Veldt. I used IbisPaint X to create this poem. I used it to blackout and draw images.
Social Alienation is a very common concept now a days. People disconnect themselves from values, conduct, practices and socials relations of the community or society. Withdrawal and isolation happens when people keep to themselves instead of interacting with peers. In the book The Veldt, technology that surrounded the family is what makes each of them feel segregated and separated from one another. In my black poem I constructed, I perceived social & technology alienation. How our addiction to technology leads to sadness and confinement. “When he sank hovering over it.
Sitting, Screaming and hiding” These lines portray how a person sinks and drowns in the process of technology alienation. “Nobody cares, never—” This line explains how everyone has given up on actual communication, instead they just rely on devices and technology.
Here is my group project I did with Nadine about the living conditions of indigenous people.
Your experiences creating this assignment:
When creating thing project I had many new experiences. For example, I have never used the school microphones before so it was really fun using them for this project. I also wasn’t familiar with some of the online data basis that we used in the library for research.
Your group’s path in researching this topic:
When researching this topic me and my partner started off using the online data basis to collect information and afterwards we added all our information together in a shared word document. After that we created a script using all the information and gave each other lines to say. Finally we recorded and edited our podcast.
Obstacles or items that you learnt in recording:
Some obstacles I learnt while recording is that microphones are limited and we had to switch recording devices during the podcast. After the introduction the audio sound changes but we did our best to edit the changes as much as possible.
Option 2: Communication.. What are the ways you used to communicate your learning?
There many different ways I used to communicate with my learning during this project. My partner and I would communicate using a shared word document, texting and talking to share our different information. We worked really well together and shared our many perspectives with each other.
