End of day reflection

Today Leah, Alyssa and I wrote the script for our movie. This is my essential question: What is creativity? How can we successfully write, film, edit, and produce a one-woman short romantic comedy?

Daily Goals

Today we are starting a new PBL project. The whole school is doing a project together which the essential question is "what is creativity?" I am working with Leah and Alyssa and our essential question is how can we successfully write, film, edit, and produce a one women romantic comedy.

literary Analysis #3

When I read Zeitoun I thought of all of my friends and family that lived in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina. I thought about how everyones lives were pretty much ruined because all of there stuff was completely destroyed. My friends lived in the middle of New Orleans and it flooded almost to the top of there house. Hurricane Katrina was so devastating. Also we just had natural disasters happen in Japan, these were both very terrible things that happened.

literary Analysis #2

Zeitoun took place during hurricane Katrina. The levees broke and everything is flooded. The main characters in Zeitoun are Zeitoun, Kathy, Nademah, aisha, zachary, and safiya. The conflict is that Zeitoun stays during hurricane Katrina and his family evacuates. Zeitoun tries to save everything, but eventually everything is destroyed when the levees flood. Zeitoun tries to save everyone and a lot of animals but he can't save everyone. One time he tried to save a 200 pound lady who was hanging on to her furniture but he couldn't lift her into his only canoe. Also Zeitoun sees and hears a lot of dogs who are drowning, but he would go around feeding the dogs that weren't under water.

Literary response #1

Zeitoun is a book by Dave Eggers which is a true story about a Muslim family during hurricane Katrina. Abdulrahman Zeitoun is a man of strong Muslim faith who owns a painting and carpentering business with his wife Kathy. Zeitoun moved from Syria to New Orleans. Kathy and their children pack up and evacuate during hurricane Katrina but Zeitoun stays to watch over his business and properties. Kathy and the 4 kids evacuate to baton rouge. This is a story of a Muslim man living in new Orleans who struggles on his own during hurricane Katrina.
