The colors you used are an excellent representation of the poem and the concentration camps. I did notice you made a mistake when you mentioned the 55 rocks within in your butterfly. The meaning behind the rocks did make sense because many prisoners were forced to carry rocks in the camp. I notice that you compare the number to the amount of casualties in the Holocaust. In my opinion I think you got confused with the number because less than 10 million people were "involved" with the Holocaust. The number might reference the estimated number for people who were in World War II. You did have a few grammar errors, but your interpretation of the poem was excellent within the butterfly. I would recommend that you provide more textual evidence for the author's purpose and the overall impact it had on the creation of your butterfly. The design was beautiful and I enjoyed how you did both sides of the butterfly structure. Great Butterfly Project.
Only by looking at your butterfly, I could tell that you dedicated a great time to make the butterfly the best it can be. I seriously thought it was unique in how you had 55 rocks as a significance as 55 million people who died in the Holocaust. You also had two other butterflies separate from the bigger one with the Nazi and Jews representations, which I thought was in fact brilliant. I feel bad for the old man who only has one single tooth because he won't be able to eat, but only liquids. Usually, people write things down to express their emotions instead of doing something tragic. I love how you front and back to have more creation. Amazing job!
Gustavo, Your butterfly was really good! I liked how you made it two sided. Not many people made their's two sided but from the ones I have seen, yours is one of my favorite. I really liked yours because of the colors. The colors show a lot from the poem. My favorite piece overall on your butterfly is the 55 rocks. I thought that this was so symbolic and so interesting. Your explanation on why you chose to do 55 rocks is really good too. Great job!
Gustavo, your butterfly is really pretty! More importantly than that, I can tell you really put a lot of thought into it. I liked how even though your poem didn't say anything about the number of losses in the Holocaust you still included the 55 rocks to symbolize those who lost their lives..it was very respectful of you. Your idea as to why the author wrote this poem (to vent his anger) is also really interesting. Honestly, the idea of the prisoners writing their poems so they would not take out their emotions on the Nazis never occurred to me. Kudos for creative thinking! Lastly, the mini butterflies are so great. Even though they're so small, they're filled with so much symbolism that's easy to understand from reading your clear explanations. Really great job!
Gustavo, I really love how you formatted your Thinglinks. It made the poem so much easier to understand. I read the poem before I saw your butterfly, and believed that the poem was about 2 perspectives of an old man, but you made me understand more clearly. But I do admit, sometimes I can't find the relation between your Butterfly and the poem. Your Thinglink for example, "Mood/tone: “My Poor Old Graybeard!" How does your text relate to the shade of blue? Other than that, your Butterfly looks pretty well done. Really nice to look at also.
Gustavo, I really enjoyed the slideshow you put in. It allowed me to get a clearer view of the Terezin concentration camp. I think that the rocks were a great touch. I would have never of thought to put 55 rocks to symbolize the number of deaths during the Holocaust. The way you sorted the tags was very clever and it helped me navigate through your butterfly. I liked how you had smaller butterflies hang off your original one. I especially like the black butterfly with the rock as a symbol of hope. It was a very creative way to express your thoughts of the poem. Overall, I like how you tied in your poem as well as general facts about Holocaust in your butterfly. Great project.
For a short poem you interpreted a lot of it. Then, your final project came out a success! Your butterfly is very unique, I love it! From imagery in the poem you are able to find clues to what is going on. From it you were able to know that the man wearing a cap has been in the concentration camp. The side with all the rocks looks beautiful, peaceful and innocent. Is that the look you were going for because of the 55 million people that died? Overall, spectacular job, Gustavo!
