One IO idea that I think can work for next year is the "Me too" movement , as it connects to several global issues such as woman's roles and inequality.

Born a crime:
Another IO idea that I thought of for next year would be the Black lives matter movement and its cultural impact.IT also relates to the global issue of "inequality" and carries over.

A global issue I notice in the Calvin n Hobbes body of work is the way humans treat the environment. This is a pressing issue that happens everywhere and has been the subject of debate for many decades. Wattersons perspectives contrast with past writers weve studied such as Kendrick Lamar

The Global issue I was able to identify in both the Kendrick Lamar songs and Nike ads was community. Kendrick brings light to this by speaking about his community and how we as individuals are affected by our community and environment, and that we reflect the community around us The Nike ads also made a point about community by conveying their message to vote, telling the audience that their voice matters and can impact your community and world around you.  These contrast because as Kendrick was affected by his communities voice, Nike wants you ti affect your community in a positive way.

The three assignments I chose to include in my Learner portfolio were my KL road maps for ¨Alright, King kunta, and institutionalized. I chose these three because I feel they best represent my creative thinking and open mindedness when it comes to writing about someone else perspective on global issues and topics

# data[].attributes.body
One non literary text I examined from the Nike ad campaign was the Nike ¨play for the world ad¨. The notable parts of this Ad were its use of angles and lightning to persuade the viewer to understand their message.  The features that made this ad effective was the black and white images and still dramatic shots. I think the directors created it this way in order to further convey their message. I think they succeeded.

# data[].attributes.body
Name of Nike ad that I’m analyzing (copy and paste from the list of links above):
Screenshot #1: | Screenshot #2: | Screenshot #3:

Mise-en-scene:How are actors placed in the shot?How are objects placed? What does the director of the scene want the audience to pay attention to?  | The people in this shot are seen persevering and or inspiring others, Most placed in situations of difficulty or challenge
Camera movements:How are camera pans used? How are camera tilts used? How are camera trucks and dollies used? Does the camera follow the action or stay static? Why? | Camera pans closer towards the athletes faces and tilts downwards. The camera follows the action closely throughout the ad.
Zoom:Does the camera zoom in and out of the action? What is the director trying to draw the audiences’ attention to? Why? | The camera zooms frequently to give the viewers a close shot. I believe the director did this to draw attention to the struggle of the athletes.
Lighting:Where are lights placed outside of the camera view? What effect does this have on the tone and mood of the scene? Is the light natural or artificial? What effect does this have? | The lighting is good and placed outside of each of the shots, this gives us a feeling of brightness and perseverance
Shots:Are close ups used? Are mid shots used? Are long shots used? What combination and sequence of these shots are used? Is the scene more intimate and between two characters, or does it aim to show actions taking place? | Close ups are used very frequently with a combination of zoom ins and montages of struggle and success, This aims to show our athletes persevering.
Editing/montage:How are shots cut together? Are they cut in quick succession or are the shots long and uncut? What effect does this have on the tone of the scene?  | Theres is a mix of quick shots along with long uncut shots throughout the ad. The quick shots have a nice montage and contrast effect.
Sound (diegetic and non-diegetic):What music does the scene use? What ambient sound effects does it use? Is the scene silent? What effect does this all have on the tone of the scene? | An emotional orchestra is used throughout the ad, this gives an uplifting affect through the struggles of these athletes who refuse to quit

The global issue I noticed while studying Kendrick Lamar and the Nike ads was the issue regarding the global issue of Covid and racism. Nike was trying to convey a message of togetherness as the world struggles with covid, while Kendrick tells us that racism is still alive and well, and that instutional racism has always been prominent in the US.

# data[].attributes.body
Something notable about the first Nike ad we looked at was its use of still shots to convey its message of togetherness through dark times. These shots contributed to its effectiveness greatly as they show us how something like a camera shot can help give a message. Im including my KL paragraph along with my annotation of
¨Wesleys theory¨ and alright¨ because it reveals my insight into the lives of artists and their work, along with the message they try to convey with their work

One learner profile characteristic that I exhibited this semester was inquiry, because of my independent work and research done throughout the semester. Another learner profile characteristic i have is open mindedness, due to my ability to seek other perspectives to have an unbiased look at what I am writing about.

My main goal for this year is to fit more reading into my schedule and read books that I find genuinely interesting. I want to become a bigger reader by making an organized schedule so I can incorporate reading everyday. This is important to me because I feel that incorporating reading into ones schedule can greatly influence how they do in IB english and in the future.

In the song ¨wesley's theory¨, artist Kendrick Lamar introduces the recurring theme of his life before and after entering the music industry and how he was lured in as a desirable black youth with temptations of fame, power and wealth, But after receiving his end of the bargain Kendrick now sees that this life isn't all it's made out to be, and that his previous love for making it out of the ghetto has turned into a lust.. During the chorus, Lamar uses a lover as a metaphor for his life in the industry. When Lamar compares his life in the industry to ¨his first girlfriend¨, he is suggesting that he had fallen in love with this luxurious life, and had been lusting for fame and wealth prior to having a ¨relationship¨ with the industry, and due to Kendrick growing up in squalor and with hardships, he had never been exposed to the life he has today. So naturally, Kendrick became overwhelmed and ¨in love¨. This new life was his ¨first girlfriend¨. Kendrick builds on this concept of the industry being his first lover further through the lines: ¨At first I did love you, but now I just wanna fuck¨. Kendrick uses this relationship as a metaphor to convey the contrast of how he viewed his luxurious life, compared to how he sees it now. At first Kendrick was excited and overcome with joy to become a success. We know this because in the first verse of the song, Lamar raps through the eyes of his younger, pre fame self. A young Kendrick envions and foreshadows his inevitable success, rapping about his lust for materialistic objects, and that when he gets signed (this refers to getting signed by a record label, essentially the genesis of kendrick's life in the industry), and that when this happens he'll ¨act a fool¨ (acting a fool being a metaphor for happy, or reckless). It's implied from the verse given by young kendrick, that he was very much in love with the idea of this life. However after attaining such things, Kendricks mindset seems to change. This is told to us

so far in IB English, my favorite text ive looked at has been AOCs speech regarding Mr yohos remarks towards her. She gives a fresh new perspective on misogynist public figures, she does this by referring to Mr yohos apology where he says ¨i have two daughters and a wife¨, in which he implies that having women in his life makes him exempt from being a misogynist. She says that by saying those remarks, hes giving permission to men everywhere to disrespect women like his daughters and wife. I found that this text / perspective showed light on how public figures influence youth with how they treat others.
