Final Unit 1 Personal Response
In what ways has this unit helped you develop your literacy skills? Identify strength of yours that was evident in this unit, and an area that could be improved.
This unit has helped me develop my literacy skills in my personal dictionary full of words that I know, as well as how to develop a character as well as modify him through a story. I have also learned about situations that reflect on reality around us, take Lord of the Flies for example, Simon’s death could’ve happened to us if we are not aware and use our logic, as well as that being stranded on an island can change us either for good or for bad. I have also learned about different kinds of description, style, and humour, as well as how to intercept them into a story. Take Lord of the Flies for example, the author described Piggy’s death scene rather excellently, I really felt as if I was there, watching as he turned over once and hitting that square red rock on his back. I have also learned a lesson from IRP that you cannot judge a book by the cover as that I found the book I chose rather boring to read, I had thought it’d be interesting to read from the summary I read. It seems I was wrong. Reading Lord of the Flies has also helped me learn how different every writer are, as well as help me develop how I describe things. I have also learned to look deep into what the book says and not the surface, as well as to read carefully.
