Above you can see our brochure for the “Handmaid’s Hideout”. We came up with this name because a theme park isn’t somewhere where a Handmaid would be so it would have to be a hideout for them, as well as if they were there they couldn’t get hurt, so it would serve as a hideout. I focused on the character you would see in the park, for my portion of the project. I chose Offed, Serena Joy, Nick, and The Commander (although Nick isn’t in the brochure). I focused on writing how they would act, what they would wear, and what they would eat while at the park. Doing this portion of the project allowed me to use my critical and creative thinking all together. I had to be critical while I pulled the real facts out from the book. What I mean by facts is the real ways the characters acted and whom they were. I couldn’t just make that up, so it forced me to think critically about all the bits and pieces I had picked up from them during the book. I had to think creatively while putting the paragraphs together because I had to take these characters, from such a serious book, and imagine how they’d act in an amusement park. This caused me some problems because at first I couldn’t quit figure out how they would act or what they would say, or enjoy. But after using my creative thinking I was able to write up four paragraphs that I’m proud of. Something I would do differently next time is get clarification on the presentation. My group and I thought that all we had to present was a brochure, which turned out not to be the case after watching other groups present. I enjoyed this project and I thought it was a creative way to end this unit!
