        The first thing that I did on my final is I created two interviews, one to give to my mom and the other to my dad. I did this to get information for my infographic and my prezi.

          The next thing I did is I wrote an email and I sent it to my grandma on my dads side and gave me some information on the Alaimo family.

          Once I got enough information from my family members I made a family tree using familyecho.com.

         


        Then, the next thing I did with all of the information I got is make a family tree prezi with interesting facts about my family members.







                The final thing I did for my final project is put intersesting facts and stats on the Neal and Alaimo families into an infographic.

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 trying to tell people and students what being a good student really means and what teachers look for in students. Also it is saying that his students really stress him out. So overall he is saying what students need to do to be successful in life and also to be good in school.

Stop Motion Reflection

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

When you have done a really thorough job of answering these questions on your blog, you may have a study hall the rest of the hour. This blog post is worth 3 times as many as the others. Make it count!

                  1. My stop motion animation video is skittles moving around. I chose it because I thought I could do some creative things with it. I also thought it wouldn't be to easy, and it wouldn't be too challenging.

2. I would give my project a rating of 9, because it wasn't out of this world or mindblowing but it still was really good.

3. Something I could have done better is have better lighting. For about half of my photos I didn't have good lighting.

4. The thing that made my stop motion video was unique was the designs that I made with my skittles.

5. I think I deserve an A on this project because it was creative and it was very consistent in a lot of things.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

           My weekend consisted of doing homework and playing baseball. On Friday I had baseball practice after school. On Saturday about 7 kids from my baseball team went up to the school baseball field with about 5 players from the C team and we hit and did other baseball related stuff. And on Monday I had practice and I watched the C team beat West.

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 project is going to me about skittles on a table and they will make a lot of cool patterns and they will move around the table and disappear and reappear. I will have someone stand still over the skittles, so yes I will have someone help me. Obviously I need a phone to take pictures, I need skittles, and I need a tripod to take high quality photos. I plan on shooting this on my kitchen table at my house.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

          On Friday I had two baseball games against Olathe Northwest, and we went 1-1. We lost the first game 3-1 and won the second game 11-1. On Saturday I came up here to the school with some friends and we went up to the baseball field and did baseball stuff then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and watched the Kentucky game. Then, on Sunday I did homework pretty much the whole day after I went out to eat with my family for Easter.
