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 a lot of what he is saying is true about what school is really about and how he cares about his students. When he say that nobody thinks that its all about the academics, I don't think that true. I think that the people higher up think that but we know its more about learning not the test scores that they care about. The main event is learning about life experiences not the scores it about learning form mistakes and not letting that happening again.

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 making the stop motion went okay except I wanted to make it a lot better but I ran out of markers. Once the pictures were done and we were working in movie maker everything went really well. For me the pictures weren't as good as I wanted to make them because I wanted to add more but didn't have the space. For me I learned how to use movie maker which I first i was nervous about using because I don't like to try new programs. I don't think this was my favorite project so far I think that I liked using prezi the most.

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 my stop-motion animation is to make a paper track and have toy cars race around the track. I have not started taking photos yet. I plan to take the photos tonight when I get home. Today I plan on making the track for cars to race around. I then plan to make the video on Friday.

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

Stop motion animation is a movie taken with items moved very small amount  at one time and requires many pictures to make the movie.

5 frame story board






4/4/14

Tell me about your 5 frame storyboard. What did you like about the project? What did you dislike? Was it hard to fit a story in to 5 images? Do you think you tell a clear story? What would you do differently if you could? Explain.


My five frame storyboard is about my cat eating a sandwich because it was out of food. I liked how easy the project was and how little time it took me to complete it. I didn't like how we had to come up with a story on the spot and have it approved. I think my story was easier to fit into five frames than others. The only thing I would do differently was to have my cat keep still while I took the pictures.

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?


A storyboard is kinda of like a comic but its just follows a story. Storyboards are used to tell story's as their name suggests. I don't know how many way you can make a storyboard except just like a regular comic strip.
