How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

I am only about one third of the way through my inforgraphic. I do not think that it will be embedded in my blog by the end f the hour because I was still learning and exploring how to use it yesterday. I do think I've used my time wisely and do need more time. I have put together all of my information and have pictures, charts and causes in my infographic, but majority of my time was used to learn about how to use all the tools and how to change fonts and colors.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

If you brainstorm your ideas before hand then it makes putting together a final draft easier because you know what to put into it and don't have to worry about the time your gonna take to think about what to put into it.

Yesterday I introduced you to infographics... tell me again what they are and how they are used? What is the benefit of an infographic? What goes into an infogrpahic?

Infographics are like charts that explain something but with facts, color, pictures, statistics etc. They can explain something that has a lot of details to it in a more creative way than just writing a normal essay or research paper. An infographic makes a big long paper shrink down to a fun colorful cart. There are a lot of things that can go into an inforgraphic. Causes, effects, step by step instructions, pictures, color, directions on how to do something. Inforgraphics are fun ways to present information.

Post your research paper to your blog. Give me a short (one paragraph summary) of your paper and include the link for me read your paper. Make sure you link up words! Do NOT copy and paste the ugly link. This should not be foreign to you.

My paper is about abortion. There are many causes and effects and prevention to abortion. Many expecting mothers feel the need to get an abortion because they run into conflict with their spouse, school and money. If women chose to get an abortion they can experience physical pain, emotional distress and that gives local clinics to pop up more frequently. There are ways abortion can be prevented. We can limit the number of clinics opening up by decreasing the amount of women wanting to get an abortion. Adoption and better family planning can help the mother keep the child instead of killing it.

Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.

I have finished all five paragraphs. it is coming along well, but I need to go back through and add a few things. It is easy to write because I just took everything from my outline and put it all together. It is helpful because I know what goes in what paragraph and what information goes where.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

I did not go to Sweetheart this weekend. Friday night I went to Winter Jam at the Sprint Center with some friends, and I had a really fun time. It was a whole lot of christian bands a singers who performed. Saturday night instead of going to Sweetheart, I went to Mi Ranchito with a group of friends and then we went bowling. I lost bowling, but I won laser tag. Sunday I tried to watch the Super Bowl, but sadly I couldn't bare to watch my team lose so I turned it off. I spent the rest of my weekend doing homework and sleeping.
