I'm not going to lie, this week for me, has been awesome. I love telling stories through film. This is my forte and I can't believe how much creative freedom we were given. It was so nice to be able to show off some of my talents, but this week for me wasn't just getting to mess around with stuff I love to do, I learned a lot too. I learned that each of us has our own way of telling our stories, that everyone has their own idea of what telling a story should look like and it really opened my eyes. Mr. Schoenborn in my opinion, should get an award for mixing it up a bit. Sure, my opinion is probably a little biased because off my love for filmmaking but honestly, who cares? So many teachers these days stick to what they were taught, and sure old school methods still work but why do we have to stick to repetition of old teaching? Why can't we mix new and old? I guess I'm just a little frustrated with standardized learning because I see things different than others do and growing up being told to conform has always been a bit of a struggle for me. The way Mr. S ties draws students in is sometimes silly to us at first but seriously if you really think about the way he handles himself, the way he handles the class, you start to see the genius in giving more responsibility to students. Getting to create our own rubrics was cool too, I sort of overlooked this when we were actually doing it but in hindsight, it's clear that creating my own rubric really helped me know what needed to be done in order to get a good grade. This week so far has been really fun for me and I really appreciate how the class is being taught.
