Project 1: Figurative
Language Prezi
Prezis are a great way to
combine sources from multiple medias into one presentation. Prezi
combines videos, sound clips, pictures, and written explainations
into one smooth presentation, helping hit a variety of interest
points and learning styles for students. It also helps to create and
show a sort of thought process, which Gardner claims is essential for
a well disciplined mind capable of synthesising information.
Gardner argues that students
need to practice this ability to gather and synthesize information
properly instead of just memorizing facts and details. Memorization
is a skill thas become less needed in a world filled with technology
that can access information once reserved only for the highly
educated. Instead, students need to learn how to filter inforamtion,
synthesize, and create something new with the information gathered.
In my Figurative Language
Prezi Presentation, I have attempted to take what Gardner calls
“diverse entry points” and fuse them together into one
presentaion. This presentation will be used as a review for my
students as they study for their poetry and figurative language quiz,
and prepare for their own group prezi projects. By using many
different forms of media I hope to give students of diverse learning
backgrounds and styles the best attempt at synthesizing the
information for their own use. I have also attempted to use the
different mediums of YouTube videos, pictures, and songs to connect
the concepts studied in class to real world applications. The end
goal is not just to have students achieve high marks on the quiz, or
create a prezi of their own that follows a set rubric, but allow
students to identify and understand when, where, and how figurative
language is used in their every day lives to enhance music, movies,
and television.
By consistently exploring
content and how it realtes to our world, I hope to help students
build a disciplined mind. Students will have the chance to show
their own mastery of the concepts taught by building their own prezi
that demonstrates how they have used specific elements of figurative
language to create images within a set poetic form.
I had trouble with
attatching my citations to the Prezi. When I put them on the
specific slide, the pictures and videos cited appreared again. When
I attempted to delete the pictures and videos, I also deleted the web
address. Below are the citations for the Prezi, I will be attempting
to fix this problem by the end of the evening.
