Globalization Op-Ed
Project Reflection
Project Description
For the Globalization Op-Ed project we would end up with two finished products, one is a finished op-ed and the second is a political cartoon that helps represents the topic of the op-ed. I am passionate about recycling and the use of plastic for user consumption, so this is the topic I chose to write about. We had to describe how globalization affect our topic.
Take-aways and Enduring Understandings
After I finished my op-ed and my political cartoon I realized that the amount of plastic we have on this planet is a lot more then I would have ever expected. It is very scary to know how much plastic we used every day and where the plastic goes. We live in a plastic world and the only way to preserve the earth before it was introduced to man made products. The only way to help our environment is to stop wasting plastic.
The Writing
Writing an op-ed is a lot different than writing a normal essay or article. It is full of very concise paragraphs with lots of information in them. I will use this style of writing for my future assignments because I feel like this type of writing is more powerful than other types. I can spend more time focusing on writing quality work rather than quantity.
The Art
A political cartoon is different than other types of art. You really need to make sure your cartoon has certain components that make up what your cartoon should be expressing. It takes a lot of thought and detail to make a powerful political cartoon. I feel like political cartoons are a great way to get your point across is an artistic way.
