Simon Culminating Project Description
This was a project we were assigned in Humanities by Mr. Adam. We were told to be creative in making a culminating project for the book Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda which we read throughout this quarter.
My friends and I decided to do a scene reenactment, and we chose all of Chapter 29. I played Simon, Simona played Nik, Sinjin played Abby, Diamond played Leah, and Sophie played Anna. In chapter 29 Simon returns to school after a weekend of being grounded, and everyone is worrying what happens to him, after a brief conversation with Abby, and a small lunch Simon gets in a fight with Leah.

Simon Culminating Project Reflections
I chose to share this project on my portfolio because I am proud of the work I did on it, and I want to share it with my parents and advisor. I think that this project is worth sharing because of how much fun I had making it, and I hope that will show in the end product.
I feel that this work sample represents Self Directional skills because when completing this project I had to have self direction. Especially for picking out what I wanted to turn our project into as the designated editor. This also promoted self direction because each one of us had to research our character enough to know how to act like them which was challenging.
This work sample demonstrates my current growth because it challenged me to do my best and work as hard as possible. I struggled with the editing, mostly because it was impossible to do the scenes that we filmed again. So I was challenged to make it work with the scenes that we already had.
An area of opportunity for new growth is the quality of the scenes, If I could redo the project, I would film a little bit better, because in some scenes peoples heads are cut off, and the visual is shaky. I could improve by having more time to prepare next time, and really learning my lines. Despite all these faults, I am still very proud of my project.
