"SPEAK" Book/Movie

I really like the book because the author explained well the life of a teenager and her problems at school at school, her personal problems and at home. Melinda is an inteligent girl, but after the party she feld depressed because she didn't have any friends and everyone at school that were in the party hates her, including Rachelle her ex-best friend. I think that the author made the right decission of making the movie as similar as the book because he put the right events that happened in the book. Maybe he explained more and made it more obious in the movie so the audience could understand more what happened. The authors need to explain more in the movie because in the book the readers are more intelligent and capting each event that happens i the book. I think that because when the reader is reading the book reads on its particular and different way as the others, for example, if he doesn't understand what happened in the book, he/she could go back and know what happened. On the other hand, in the movie, all the people that watch the movie see it at the same time, but if someone doesn't get something, he can't go back becaause the other people that are also watching it and they wouldn't like that. The part that I mostly like in the movie, was when the other girls at Melinda's school defended her from Andy Evans and that now she has the necessary confidence to tell her mom what happened at the party when she used to don't even talk with her.

Reflection about technology

I think that the school does teaches us about technology. Just like of using computers. Also, appropriate ways to use them. Like using Moodle, Google docs, blogger and much more things. These are some web sides of using technology. One way, is on checking Moodle everyday. In Moodle, we can check our homework. These are some ways that we use technology in school.
I think that our school also don't teaches some things. It doesn't teaches that well to make an animation in photoshop. Just like making someone moving. Just like a type of video on photoshop. I think that will be a cool thing to do. It could be also very creative. I will like to do that. That are some things they haven't teach us.
Another thing that they haven't teaching us to make a stop motion. We are going to do one, but we haven't. In the stop motion we have to do a video. Like an object transforming to another thing. In that, we have to make a lot of photos. Is very difficult to make explain how does it change. Also, you can do it of plastiline or chalk. These are another things we haven't learn that much.

Reflection of technology

Stop Motion

The stop motion I have selected is to first put a skeleton head with it's bones, then converted into a drum with sticks. I selected it because I though that it was very creative. I didn't though of other stop motion. I just though about the one a will make. It was the first one that came into my mind. The most challenging thing of this stop motion is putting it into plastiline. It will be very difficult. These are some ideas from my stop motion.

Watercolor tree

Interpretation of the watercolor

Yesterday in class we were supposed to paint a tree that has been hit by a lightning. I think that the idea we have to paint was very creative because I never had paint anything in English class. What I paint was a tree with fire. The tree had also some leaves but they were also in fire because of the lightning. The tree had a whole in the middle with also fire on it. The whole in the middle with fire, also was burn. The tree was falling down with the mud. First, the three was in the ground, but because of the lightning, the land were the tree was converted into mud, so that is why the tree was falling into the mud. I didn’t put anything in the background, I just put another three from far away from the main tree I was painting, the tree that was far away had fire all around it, also was falling down into the mud.
I did this painting because for me when a lightning falls into a tree, is a very sad moment for the trees. I think is sad because a lightning falls in a tree, the tree will died and will be covered with fire. So when the lightnings fall, is a like possible danger for the trees because they can be killed because of that. You can compare that situation with the trees to the humans, just like when a tornado or hurricane occurs, the humans could died or loose everything, like their houses or furniture. The humans can’t do anything when a hurricane occurs, specially if it occurs where they live or near it. That happens to the trees because they can’t move because they are attached to the ground. Finally, I created this painting to represent what happens to the trees when a lightning falls to compared it when like when hurricanes or tornado happend when humans are.
I really like my painting because I though it was very realistic. I think that I’m very good at painting and at drawing, that is why I think I make a good job. Everyone did the tree with lightning because is related to the book called “Speak” we are reading in English class. Melinda that is the main character from the story were are reading, is making a tree with a lightning on it in her art class. I think that Melinda is a very common girl that is new in high-school that doesn’t have friends yet and that is very scared of everything, like of being good at school, having a good grade, having friends and joining a clique.

William Kentridge, Stop Motion, and Transformation

The work from Kentrich make me feel good. Kentrich makes a good job. He draws cool things.He does a lot of incredible things. He makes chalk drawings. I like what he does. His job is also very creative.

I think that is difficult describing the blind people what he does. I will say that is very creative and cool. It has a lot of drawing. The drawing is very cool. He makes very cool things. He has a lot of ides to make things because he is creative. This is how I think Kentrich drawings is.



I think that stop motion is when objects transform to other things. I think that they are very creative because they move a lot from different places. I think that the viewer is very amazed with it because they are a lot of shapes and different colors. The colors also change. The shapes also change. The steps of doing this is choosing an artifact and that change it. Its very cool.

Mash-up

A mash-up is when two or more songs combine together to make one. What makes a good mash-up is to have the most important letters of the songs combined in one. If you put the most boring letters of the songs in a new song it will be boring. If you put the best letters of both songs, that will make it more interesting. You can look for tutorials to help you make a mash-up. I think that mash-up artists are true musicians because even though they don't make music, they combine the songs to make a new one. Here are two links of the mash-up songs.

Artifact project

I really like my project. My project was putting light in a lamp. Not only a common light, but a very shiny light. The light was very green. I think that I will get a good grade on it. It is also very creative because no body did that. I like the green light, but what I didn't like is that I didn't put too much details, if I could change it, I would put more details like paint on it. Also, I put a red background in my project to make it look better. These are the things of my project.
I think that this project is very cool. I admire it because of the pencil and the book in it. I think that he could put more details or put it more cool. I also like the sphere that she put there. The sphere was divided by two. I didn't knew how to put the sphere in it. I really like this project. These are the things I admire of the project.
I don't think that these is an artifact for the future. I think it is a little simple. Also, no body will buy it. It will not be for sale. Is not a thing to but and to have it in your house. Either for decoration. I don't like it to buy it. Here are the things that I also like and if this project could be in the future or not.

Future artifact

Robotic frog

I am going to make a robotic animal. It is supposed to be a animal with parts of a robot. It will be incredible because it will be very creative. The animal is going to be like gray. The animal will have shiny arms and body like a robot. The animal will also have parts of a car, truck or whatever thing is shiny. I will do this because I like to make robots. This is how my project will be like.

Family reunion

One year ago, I had a family reunion. All of the members in my family were there. There were my uncles, cousins, grandfathers and grandmothers. It was an incredible day and we had a lot fun. We play soccer games and basketball days. I think it was great because everyone was there. I also knew other people in my family that I didn't even knew. Everyone was enjoying the reunion. I hope we have other reunion like that.

Tree

I choose that tree because I though it was awesome in many ways. A reason I choose it, was because the tree is very big. Another thing why I choose it, was because it has a lot of leaves around it. I think that it was a good photo from a tree. That are some reasons I choose that tree.

JOY

I did a lot of stuff right now. I just erased some friends I had in my account. I erased friends that don't live where I do. I also print my homework. The homework I print is from computers. I just need to print it and sign it. It was pretty easy. I just took like five minutes.
I want to do a lot of things I want to do myself. I want to have better grades in school. Putting more attention for example. Also studying a lot. I really want to be better at that. I want to be better at school. School is a important thing to be concentrated. Also at putting attention at school.
There are a lot of stuff that makes me very special. I am good at soccer. That is a way I feel very special. Another thing is that I am good in school. Also a very good student. Another thing is that I always do homework. I reaaly like those important things. That is why I feel very special.

Map Testing

One week ago, we take 3 Map testing. Some of the questions on the tests were a little difficult. They were Language, Math and reading. My feelings about map testing are just exams. Other test of Map Testing are not that difficult like other tests I take in School. I feel that I was prepared for the Map testing this time. I will just re-read the questions to make sure I get it and eliminate weird questions. I think that I made a good job in math and language, but not in reading. I am really happy with my scores and I think I make better scores then last time when we take Map testing.

Presentations

I really like the presentation from myb group. Both presentations were very interesting and have a lot of information in them. I put a good grade of both presentations. After now that we already grade the presentations, we combined all of them. Our group presentation was really cool and I like it. All of our presentations are good, but know that we combined it, is much better. We will chance our presentations if we have spelling mistakes and also making the new presentation. I really like our results from our presentation. Now the presentation will be better.

Powerpoint Comedian

I am going to explain some points in which power point can ruin your presentation. The first point is that every word that you write is like going to be in your presentation even though if that is a word that you don't want to put it in your work or in a presentation. The second point is about the spelling. The spelling is that sometimes you spell something that is good but that sometimes it doesn't count it like a good word and it underlines it, that is a big problem. The third point is about the bullets because it sometimes puts it in the form of bullets even though if you don't want to. The fourth point is the color schemes so the color that you put in your words it's clear to see. Sometimes they are too many slides instead of all the information is in a slide. That are some points in which powerpoint can ruin your presentation.

VIDEOS

What I learn by doing the peer evaluations yesterday is in how to do a video and how you can evaluate a project from someone else. What I would do to change my video and do it much better is to put more interesting fotos and to make the voices more clear.
The quality from the two videos I have graded are very high because I think they have done a very good job. I put a good grade on both videos I have grade. I really think that they hav take a while to that video because they have put a good effort and a very job. They have make the voices very clearly and they also have represented the fotos that matche of what they are saying in the video.
What I like the most of the videos is that they take really good fotos without counting the ones they put from the internet on the video.

I really like the video in different ways. I like a lot the animations. I also like the colors and the music of the video. The video has a lot of talent. All of the people in 8 grade make effort to make this video about them. The part I like more of this video is that everyone put the part of the video of what they like more.I really like this video about the animation of 8 grade.

I shouldn't work today because I don't want to. I also don't want to work today because the homework that we have to do is very difficult. Nobody get's the homework that we have to do, but I have to do it anyways. I don't like the homework. Nobody likes the homework but we still have to do it because is part of our responsibility. Still when we don't go a day to school, we have to do the homework, and nobody likes that. That are some excuses for not working today.

Sometimes you feel sick or bad and you don't want to work, but you have to do it. A lot of people make excuses. Specially to the teachers. Everyone say excuses when they don't homework. When you don't do proyects, exams or tests, there is no way you can make excuses because the teacher will put you a zero no matter what excuses you say. Nothing will help you in school if you make excuses.

They're a lot of examples of excuses you can make specially in school. One of them is by saying that your dog it your homework, but that is a bad excuse, so nobody will said that. Another excuse is that you sleep late and you can't do the homework because you were very dis animated. Also, you can say that you forget your homework in your house. The worst excuse you can say, is that you don't get the homework and you were trying to ask the Miss what is it about. An excuse you can say when the homework is suppose to be type, is that you don't have a computer. There are the worsest excuses ever that you will never say.

SixthSense

I think that the video is really cool. I am really surprise because the video I saw is very interesting. The thing I most like about it, is that the man that is presenting his technology is really cool. I can believe how does he create that by his own. I think it will take a lot of time to do all those inventions. The people that saw how he present his technology were very surprise, just like me. I think that the man that present this video is a genius.I really like this video and I really recommend it to everybody.

I think that the greatest things about the technology, is that people invented. Genius people have tremendous imagination, so they create cool things. Every likes the technology because they can help us in many ways. Just like the cellphones, i-pod, i-phone, and a bounch of more things. People admire the genius people that create this type of technology in so many ways. One reason is because on an emergency, they can call someone to help the person. All of the people of the world are using technology, and they are happy with that.

I think that open source means that something doesn't cost nothing. It means that if you enter a website or something like that, doesn't cost any money because is free. The good things are that the people that enter to the website can see what it is on it. Also they can thing that the website is cool. The bad thing is that they can change the website. They can change the website and just make it worst. Another bad thing is that because they are not making money, they can't make it better because they don't have the money to do it. As you can see, they can be also good things and bad things.

My Christmas Vacation

On my winter vacations I do a lot of things. Starting when I went to Guadalajara with my family. I went there two days after Christmas and I stay there three days. When I get there, the first thing I did is go to the hotel we are staying on, after that, I went to eat on a restaurant because we were all hungry. Then, I get back to the hotel we where staying on to get all our clothes and all of that because we where going for shopping. After going for shopping we went to see a movie, and then we went back to our hotel to sleep. On the next day on the morning, we were packing our things on the car because we were going to get back to our house. Finally, we get to our house after that trip we had.

At the 24 and 25 of December I pass all those days with family on San Diego in the part of my dad, and on my house on the family on the part of my dad. It was pretty awesome because we do parties and celebrate a lot of things. The 24, I went with the family of the part of my mom. We celebrate with the hole family of my mom. We where like 50 people. It was very fun because we have a good time staying with our family. On the 25 of December I pass the time with the family of my dad. We were a few people. I think it was very fun celebrating with my family.

On the first to the fourth on January I stay with my cousins all the time. We do a lot of things together. We play on the pool, we play soccer, basketball, and also tennis. We stay on the house of my ant because I want to stay with my cousins. It was really fun playing and doing stuff. After two days we went to San Sebastian to play there and sleep only one night with all my family. We do a lot of things there because there was really fun. We have family there so it was even more fun then we thought. After that day we stay there I get back to my house, and my cousins to San Diego, where they live.
