Online Novel Portfolio : 09- Reflection post
The project has helped me to appreciate the book, The invaders in many different ways. One of the most useful part of this project that I think was how I had to review many different part of the book by using the different tasks which involved in the project. This review meant that I had to reread many different part of the book to understand these tasks, and because I had to reread, it meant that I could understand a lot more details about this story.
One of the most useful task in this project was when I had to write a timeline about events. Sequence of events in the story helps you to understand more about the plot and characters involved, and timeline in this story was very important because the events that happen were set on a specific timeline, for example the arrive of the soldier, the arrive of the santa-cruzinas and the erruption the volcano.
Lastly, the different type of task, for example summary and pictures and the advertising campaign made understanding story more interesting because I have to go out side of the book to find work related to the story, so all in all, this project had some very useful and interesting task which not only made me understanding the story in detail, but also enjoy the story a lot more.
