Reactions to the Final Version

Paraphrases: (I kind of forgot exactly what everyone said)

‘I liked how it faded out into that certain note and how the elements built up.’-Indie

‘It sounds bigger than it is and the instruments flowed together nicely.’-Kayden

‘Keep creating, you’re getting better at songwriting.’-Mr. Le Duc

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I think I did pretty good. There were usually new elements where there needed to be but near the end it got a bit repetitive. But overall, it was pretty nice.

Grammar and Spelling

I used the spell check on my computer and laptop to check my spelling.

21st Century Skills Demonstrated

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

One way I thought critically was by adding more than just one instrument because it probably would have gotten boring if I did not.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I communicated by asking what I should do when I got stuck on something.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I was able to tell what type of feeling the composition was going to give people and I made sure I was happy with it.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I did this on my own, and in my life and future career I’ll have to be able to do things on my own.
