The trigonometry comic strip was a very creative project which involved creating a storyline which at bare minimum were 5 panels, using trig ratios and functions and angles of elevation and/or depression. This assignment demonstrates our creativity skills mixed with real world trigonometry applications. I know I could have done better on this comic strip, but I felt like I did a great job with it using my real life interests (track running) and turning it into a story with trig applications.
I present this to my portfolio because I used a familiar software, Canva, to create this comic strip with its unique and plentiful templates. I knew from day 1 Canva would be the way to go for my final draft. In terms of ideas, it was pretty self explanatory and i finished my rough draft in no time. After some peer reviewing (I did fantastic), I furbished the comic strip onto Canva and made a digital and coloured copy of the comic strip and submitted it to my teacher. It was a little cheesy, but involved what I liked to do (I despise sprinting honestly) and I was satisfied.
The 21st century skill involved in this project was Self Directional Skills. A while ago, my teacher posted an assignment at the beginning of the quarter about things I would like to improve on, and what I could do to achieve my goals, and this assignment did just that. Even though beforehand I didn't see this coming, I was able to enhance my creativity skills using something I was interested in, which made sense in the slightest. When I finished my rough draft, I wanted to make the final draft much more clearer than the rough draft, with the help of Canva, I have achieved that goal and it was a surefire way to help achieve other project goals in the future.
If I could do this project again sometime in the future, I would make it a little more reasonable, the sprints on the grass weren't that reasonable, since the rubber track was much faster. They could have been strides instead, and the time would've been slower since it is not a full sprint. The bleacher trig function made a little sense, but nobody really cares how high up they are from the field. I could have made a little twist where Alan does Pole Vaulting instead of his friends simply watching him. I could've also used a different comic strip template since this one made it a little hard to read, but other than that, the Comic Strip was pretty solid overall.
This work sample demonstrates my growth by using Canva a third time, one for my honeycreeper project, one for my magazines, and finally my comic strip. I have learned to become familiar with Canva since it has a plethora of unique templates found at your fingertips. I was also able to use all trig functions, ad well as angles of elevation and depression in my comic strip. Initially I struggled with trigonometry at the beginning of the unit, but after a bit of tuning up, I was just like the others.
