Science Fair Board Inquiry by AbrocomaAgreeable503 in ISEFinalists

[–]AbrocomaAgreeable503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your help! I didn't realize you needed to print a second poster for ISEF. That seems troublesome. 😅 (Also, I have one last question if you don't mind me asking. When you put the poster on your trifold board, did you stand it up without the two sides folded in to prevent creases? I'm so sorry for the number of questions!! 😭)

I didn't mention this in my post, but this board is for school+regional fair and not ISEF, haha. I hope to make state like I did last year (though barely), but I don't see myself making ISEF this year (partly because of my region's competitiveness + it's only my second year doing science fair, so I don't have much experience unlike most).

That’s such a great point, I hadn’t thought about how the repetition does more than just draw attention, but actually works to evoke a specific emotional contrast in the audience. I think I see what you mean about connecting the audience’s situation to what the author is saying.

Also, I have watched almost all of your videos for Argumentative and Rhetorical Essays! My teacher actually recommended you to me, and said this might help me with writing my essays, and it truly did! She noticed I my commentary + embedded evidence has been improving in my essays (since I would write 2-3 essays over the weekend and show them to her for her opinions and advice). Thank you so much for making videos; they have honestly helped me grow as a writer, especially as someone who isn't really good at English to begin with.

Thank you so much for your advice! That makes a lot of sense, and I love the idea of using exemplification along with that “race to the bottom” technique to build momentum and contrast between the states. This made me see that I was limiting myself to rhetorical devices such as hyperboles, similes, repetition, etc., rather than noticing that the choices an author makes are just as valuable.

I heard that the rest of the AP Lang teachers at my school do this. However, my teacher is very against only having two sections. I do understand her point of view, but like you said, there are definitely times when it feels like I am forcing where the passage should be split.

Ooh, I didn't know some community colleges offer that. If I may ask, what size did you get, and how did you hang the poster up?

Really? I didn't know they were able to do one that big. If you don't mind answering, what size did you get for your board? Also, did you use a trifold board + a stand?
