The Purpose of Reflection

• To explain how our words and pictures help to
  develop the mood.
• Clarifies why we choose the things we did to
  include in both our poem and our collage.
• Makes a connection with the picture and words as
  well to set the mood.

How do I write the Reflection?

• First, you have make sure you establish the mood
  of your poem/collage. That will be the title of
  your reflection. (ex Sorrow, Joyful, etc)
• Next, you must choose at least two statements
  from the poem and two/three visuals from your
  collage to deconstruct.
• Finally, you formulate a PEA type response in
  order to explain how your choices helped to
  create a mood.

Examples of what you could talk about regarding
your collage

• Maybe you chose to use a specific colour scheme
  for your collage. In your reflection, you must
  explain how those colours help to establish the
  mood you are creating with your words.
• You could have also chosen a particular picture
  to include, thinking that it really demonstrated
  your mood. You could discuss that visual, talking
  about how visual elements of it helped to develop
  the mood (body language, facial expression,
  colours, composition, etc).

Examples of what your could talk about regarding
the writing

• For this section, you can choose a few specific
  lines, and develop a PEA response as to why it
  helped to establish the mood using literary
  devices.
• Some examples of literary devices that can help
  establish mood include
• Character development, diction, imagery,
  conflict, metaphors, similes, etc.

So how many paragraphs should my reflection be?

• The reflection will require some time to develop.
  It is just as important (if not slightly more)
  than the actual product. Because English is so
  subjective, and there are so many choices that
  can be made, an important element is being able
  to defend your choices and explain your opinion
  and ideas.
• Overall, your reflection should be a minimum of 4
  PEA paragraphs
• 2 examples from your collage
• 2 examples from your created found poem

Lets do one paragraph example together

• One of the ways I demonstrated the mood of fear
  is by using a picture of a scared child. This
  picture was in black and white, was quite large,
  and I decided to put it in the middle of the
  paper. It was a close-up of a childs face
  screaming. This proves that I have created a
  fearful mood because The expression of the child
  shows the audience that something is frightening
  him/her, therefore creating a fearful mood. Also,
  the bigger image and black and white colour makes
  the picture stand out and remind us of old black
  and white horror movies that tend to be quite
  scary.

• Another way in which fear was demonstrated was
  through how the boy was feeling after the buck
  died. In the poem, the character drew in his
  breath and pity and terror seized him (46).
  Through the use of auditory imagery of the loss
  of breath and a gasp makes the reader imagine
  being in a new location where you are scared and
  something shocking happens. The diction also
  helps to develop the fear through the use of the
  word terror. The reader may associate the word
  with scary things in their own past, therefore
  creating a feeling of fear.
