Family Tree

For our final project we were asked to learn more about our family's history, so we could know more about where we came from. The first thing I did was interview my aunt Julie who is my mom's sister. Then I interviewed my mom's other sister Sarah. After that I made an email to send to my mom asking her if she had any pictures or fun memories about our family. The next thing I did was actually making the family tree by using family echo. Then I made a prezi with pictures of different family members,showing important things that they did.The last thing I made was an infographic. 1431713678

Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

 I think that this teacher is basically saying how that school is way more then just doing math and or reading and how school is really preparing you for the rest of your life. School is showing you how to become a strong person who can endure the struggles of life. People quit to easy because they think that it doesn't matter, but if you quit at the little things the your more likely to quit the harder things.

GIANT blog post of the day: Answer the following questions thoroughly on your blog. What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest). If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.  


My stop Motion was about animals ans started off with gummy warms then came owls which ate them. Next the owls were eaten by gummy bears. The gummy bears were then ate by a giant chocolate bunny. I thought this would be fun and creative while using food. It was for the most part pretty easy and a lot of fun.I thought my project was pretty good I do however think that it could be a bit more focused and the lighting could be better on it. I would five mine a 7  i think this because it was creative and exciting but the music and lighting could be improved. I would make sure if I did this again that the lighting was better.  My is unique because I used food and had them do real life things. I think mine was out of the box because I used animals made out of food and had them act as if they were real life animals, having them eat each other like in the wild. I think that I should get and 85 because I think mine was good. The only major problem was at some parts you couldn't see all the animals and was a little of the screen.

Blog Post of the Day: 3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

This weekend was a pretty relaxing weekend.On Friday I went with my friends to see the movie The Longest Ride. It was a really good movie which by Nickolas Sparks. It was funny and romantic about a love story in the south. The next day I had a harder lesson for driving, it was my second one and after that I only have one more left until I get my restricted. The next day my friend Rhyan wanted to see the movie so we went back to see it. After the movie was over we didn't have a ride home and it was midnight. We didn't want to call are parents cause they would get mad and we didn't want to walk because it was to far and was rainnig so we waited and finally got someone to get us

Blog Post of the Day: Tell me ALL about what your idea is for your stop-motion animation. I need detail. Who is going to help you take photos? What props do you need? Where do you plan on shooting? EXPLAIN everything.

My idea for a stop motion animation is to use goldfish and animal crackers and have it kind of like a zoo and have them fighting. I will have the animal crackers try to get the gold fish. You will slowly see the animal cracker eating the gold fish and then a whole pack of gold fish will come and eat them. I plain on shooting it at my house with foods that are animals.

Blog Post of the Day: Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend I had softball tryouts right after  school on Friday. We didn't find out our teams like we had hoped to. We also found out that there will be no cuts for it either. After that I went straight to Rely For Life. The begging of it was fun and there were a lot of different activities for us to do.They also had a lot of food for us to eat like Panda Express. I don;t remember the name of it but they turned the lights off and everyone walked around to remember the people that we lost from cancer. At about 2 a.m. there wasn't a lot of things to do and everybody on my team started to get tired.From then until the end we were just so tired but didn't want to go to sleep. When it was over i went to bed until 5 p.m.

You should then memorize your presentation.

Finally you should practice. Practice making eye contact and not do anything distracting.

I need to make sure that the font that I use makes sense and it's not all over the place.I learned that an infograpic shows at lot of numbers and percents and that's something I need to put into mine.I also know now that the content I use has to be good and easy to be understood.

I think that we should be able to pick the classes we take, not from when we start kindergarten at the age of five, but when were older maybe after middle school. That would give us time to figure out what we want to be. When we get to high school then we start studding to be what we what to be when were older. For example if you want to be a writer all you would study is writing and you wouldn't need to take science and math because those things don't have a  lot to do with writing. I want to be some time of nurse one day so for me I would only take classes that have to do with that. I wouldn't need to take history but instead maybe history of medicine. I would only take classes  that has to do with becoming a nurse.

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective? (Definition of perspective: a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.)

I think that this cartoon is trying to show how people in China are good and most known for math and how they're smart and in India they're good at science. It's trying to say how people in the Untied States don't care about any of that and don't study and work as hard as them. I don't agree with this idea. People in China and India just work really hard and study but so we do we. This is showing how they think were lazy. I think an adult would look at this and say how we need to work harder like people in China and India.

Add caption
Blog Post of the Day: Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

This quote says do less with more focus,  to me this means that if you do fewer things and focus on them more they will end up better than if you were to do a lot of things and them to turn out only okay. In your life you can pick the more important things and try and focus on them rather than things that are less important. During school if you pay attention more often and focus later on you won't have to worry about it. I think at first I would get more out of it but in the long run I think  I would get side tracked and lose focus.

Blog Post of the Day: Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.)

My topic is leukemia cancer, I didn't really know very much about it before but i have learned more information than i though possible. L have learned that there are two types of leukemia cancer :acute and chronic. I have also learned more about how it spreads and how it  can start. I learned leukemia kills more kids than other type of cancer does. I have also learned more about where in the body it starts, i think that learning more about leukemia has helped teach me more about other cancers too.

Email is a place where you can virtually send other people messages, important information and let them know whats going on, it's basically like a note but instead of on the paper it's on the computer. I use my email for school and also stores can email me coupons. Email is also a great way to contact people from all over the world. It's also very fast.

Blog Post of the Day: Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.

I picked to do Leukemia Cancer and i would think that most people would be against it and getting rid of it. Most people would think that getting rid of cancer is important and finding a cure. Every day more and more people are dying  because of it. I can't think of any one who  thinks cancer is a good thing and something people should want. I don't feel tat there's much controversy over this topic except maybe how to prevent it and cure it. People might think different things cause different cancers and that's true. Some people believe doing this will help you not get cancer but doing this won't. For example people may say wearing sunscreen will help you not get cancer and others believe that it won't.

Leukemia Cancer

Once you have selected an issue, create a new blog post and answer the following questions: Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue? What do you want to know about this issue? Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.

    I don't have very much background information on Leukemia right know, however it's something that has always interested me and i have always wanted to learn more about. I would like to know how it starts and the causes of it. I picked this topic because i would like to learn more about. It's has't effected my life personally, but i do know people who have died of other cancer. To me cancer is a very sad and depressing thing i would like to know more about it and how to prevent it.

Blog Post of the Day: Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

I think you asked us to do that because we will be using it more in the future and because it's a more creative way of doing things. Doing this helps by giving the PSA more emotion and expresses things clearer.When you have bullets and headers it's more boring and there is more reading involved, people would get lost and side tracked with a whole bunch of words losing the purpose of the presentation.

PSA

Friday January 23

These kids these days are different from when i was a youngster. When i was a kid we played outside playing ball with neighborhood kids. Nowadays kids don't much of that, kids stay inside rain or shine and sit,watching TV and playing on there telephones. All they do is sit and stair at a screen all day long. And when they get up from playing with there phones they're all rude and crabby towards us older folks. They run into us when there walking and are all sluggish in walking around the stores. Kids are no longer friendly towards us, i know that if this was 50 years ago they would have gotten soap in there mouth. These kids only care what's happening on there screens and not the world around us.

Blog Post of the Day: What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail.

         A public service announcement is something to show other people about an issue or topic affecting the world around us. PSA's show people what ever the topic is and then tell the problems with it. For example texting while driving they would probably tell you about the causes of it and what could happen if you do text and drive. A good PSA's should have good evidence and credible sources. Someone can take action by changing after it, for example not texting while driving. My PSA is about cyberbulling and what happens to those when they're bullied online. My PSA also shows how you can prevent cyberbulling.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.



    This article is saying to do what your supposed to do and follow  the rules and be responsible, cause we owe the world are time and energy. I do agree with some of this but i also disagree with some of it too.  I do think that we should give our time and talent to the world and yes i think that we should be responsible but to live life to the fullest we need to have fun and room to make me mistakes. When we go home we can mow the lawn, wash the windows, and learn to cook but can't we take a twenty minute break every once and a while and enjoy doing something that we like to do. like watch are favorite movie or take a nap and then we can go and build a raft.
