Culturama

Somewhere along the process of meeting school deadlines and starting to fill in university applications, the sense of finality that came along with the last stretch of my high school journey was thrust upon me. I recognised the importance of this event that reverberated with the sentiment of unity within the school, while still celebrating diversity. I participated in the event as part of the German dance. It was a novel and thrilling experience for me. I worked on learning outcome 2 as I have never participated in a dance performance before and found it challenging yet exciting. 

Inkling Literary Magasine

I enjoyed being a part of this activity. I have worked on learning outcome 1 as being a part of this magazine has helped me improve my writing skills through exploring different forms of writing such as poetry and prose. In the first week, we read an interesting poem and had a long discussion on the various stylistic features of the poem and how they work together to bring out meaning, that can vary for different readers. This helped me understand some aspects of poetry that I can include in my own pieces of writing, and was hence very informative.

Extended Essay reflection 3

Writing this extended essay was an exciting learning experience for me that wasn’t as laborious as it initially seemed. One of the most important yet hard decisions was choosing a film from each phase of Disney cinema to analyse. Limiting the number of films, as well as choosing films that were well received in their respective Disney eras, provided me with the opportunity for in depth analysis that had a clear link with my research question. While this did not allow me to analyse as many movies as I had initially wanted, it allowed me to optimise the balance between analysing films from different phases while still being able to explore each phase thoroughly. Hence, I am happy with how the essay went and would not do it any differently.
