Final Blog Post

To learn more information about my family history I interviewed my Mom and Dad. They gave me a lot of helpful information that I then was able to use to create My Family Tree. I then emailed my Dad to receive more information because I did not have enough to create a Prezi and Infographic. With the information collected from both the interviews, my family tree, and my email I was able to put together a Prezi about my Dad's side of the family. Next I created an infographic about my Dad's side of the family that includes where the Wilkinson's originated from. Finally I used my family's secret brownie recipe to show how I make brownies.

I agree with this video. I can't remember the last time I completely turned my phone off or didn't have it. I use my phone all the time and one hundred percent agree with this video. When I was little there was no one on their phone all the time or constantly checking social media, I was always outside running around and playing with my neighbors. Our generation has transformed for sure. We look towards technology when were lonely or bored and instead we should really be talking to real life people or doing something more productive. I agree with this video and t definitely shows how our generation has transformed.

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 the teacher who wrote this is right about majority of it. We as students do worry about grades and stuff like that and sometimes do end up quitting. The main event is when hes laying in bed and thoughts are racing through his mind of his students and that he really does care about his students and he wishes that they would see more in themselves.

Reflect on your stop-motion animation project. How did it go? What worked? What didn't work? If you're not finished - why? If you are finished go in to detail about the project and what you learned. Give as much detail and information as possible.

I think my stop motion went well. It worked it looked like she was really walking until the bleachers and it liked like she was sliding. It was one of my favorite projects yet because it was a lot of fun and it wasn't really stressful until i didn't take my pictures. What didn't work is that Sarah wouldn't put her quick trip cup down so it's in majority of he pictures. I learned about how it's important to pay attention to details when taking pictures for a stop motion because if not then the pictures can look weird and from different angles and choppy. the project overall was really fun and I wasn't as stressed to finish it and preset it because it dn't involve speaking and projecting like some projects in the past.

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE?

My plan for the stop motion animation is to either draw something and show something being drawn on a white board. I have not started taking photos I am going to do it over the weekend.  I am planning on helping Sarah do her stop motion animation.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

A atop animation is when you make an object that can't move on it's own look like it moves. It's shown through different pictures taken after one another.
