In my opinion the real writer should disobey the rules and formulate their own style, coz originality is valuable and pretty important. However, in most cases, if we try to smash the model or the writing skills, we may get a undesirable mark. So, what should I do?

It is strong and patient where can carry loads and weights does not matter how heavy they are and this what really we need in order to face our demanding and challenging life.
This picture might describe me in terms of focusing on one target ... Maybe I'm relaxing or having a good time but it doesn't mean that I don't have a target to do in my life ...
Wedding dress also have another meaning that can stand for my character, that is always keeping a hope. Hope is the personality that make a human to be a true human.
I am always trying to look for the whole image, like birds having a wider image from the sky … Confident, birds do not care if somebody watching them, they always try to do what they have to do … I never limit my potentials or abilities, just like birds spread your wings ...

Reflection is like your feedback. But it goes deeper than feedback … it includes deep
thinking, special opinions which add to your own experiences. It is also an opportunity to
improve your knowledge and a way to get clarity outside of the “moment”. When you
express your thoughts and what you have learned in context and spent time to think about
it from different angles …

inspiration: Gauntlett’s Lego research
It gets participants communicating more fully, creatively and expressively, by asking them to build metaphors of their identities and experiences in Lego.
People think about things differently when making something, using their hands – it leads to a deeper and more reflective engagement.
By using creative methods to understand how people think about themselves and their identities, I do think that also helps us to understand how people learn.
People learn effectively through making things (Papert and Harel, 1991).
People learn better when they are creatively challenged (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).

researching identities
In contrast, female identity 1, she represented her studying experience by long lonely road in the desert to imply how much it is a hard, lonely and boring journey. As she is a new international student this may be a reflection of the distress stage of culture shock when everything seems difficult and annoying (UKCISA, 2008). International students are more liable to experience some emotional and academic difficulties as a result of being away from family and home country. On the other hand, this is has a positive impact on their personality which made them more independent and ambitious to achieve their goals and dreams. Also, the experience of studying abroad may lead to a wider vision and consideration of their identities as an essential and crucial unit of the whole world.

researching identities
Relating to the metaphors arrangement, the choice of the tree (family) as a head of turtle describes the significant importance of the family in his life, like his vision. On the other hands, the green apple (diet) and glasses (studying) as the legs of turtle which made him stand up again after many failures. The memories were up of the shell, which occupy the most of his thinking while his work and creativity as a base of his life (base of turtle). The central position of the theme was the core of communication and peaceful principles he believes.

In conclusion, the new culture environment brings various effects to the international students no matter where they come from. Most of the impacts are positive, such as the concern of future, the explore inspiration and self-motivation. However, there still comes with some negative influences. For instance, the loneliness easily leads to loss of self-confidence. Therefore, it will helps a lot to clarify oneself by creating own identity box.

researching identities
To sum up, this project give the student the opportunity to portray their identities in more efficient and sensible way than other traditional interviewing methods. In addition, this was a very useful way to help the international student to express their identities and show up what they might be suffering from, happy to achieve or different feelings regarding being away from family.

This project helped me …
1. Understand the visual culture 2. Use the visuals for academic and social purposes 3. Create identity box using different sites 4. Analyse metaphors5. Express feelings and emotions using identity box6. Understand myself more as an expatriate 7. Use the right ways and academic conditions to comment on others works 8. Focus on the digital literacy in terms of using social medias such as blogs for
academic purposes9. Develop several skills such as communication skills, working within groups
and pairs, investigating problems, finding solutions, writing essays and reports, using variety of references and resources to get new information, innovation skills , class participation skills, listening and commenting skills ......etc
10.This course was a good introduction for my masters course (sociology). It taught me a new methodology (using visuals) that is used in order to analyze people's feelings, emotions, problems and desires rather than interviews and questionnaires
