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 teachers read to much into what the students do. We aren't going against the mold of the class when we show up late, we probably just lost track of time. When we don't feel like reading the section given to us we aren't giving up on learning we are probably just tired for doing this exact same thing for  hours before that class. This teacher is trying to say, stay positive about school because the rest of your life will be a lot harder. The main event in school is learning life skills that will help you succeed in what you want to do in your life.

Answer the following questions thoroughly on your blog.

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

My stop motion  animation was about a marker filling out a calender all by itself. I chose my video to be about this because I couldn't think of anything that hasn't been done and I had a calender in my room, and a dry erase marker. I chose this because i could see it being really easy but still looking cool in the end. Honestly, I put off taking the pictures until the very end and so I needed 200 pictures and I saw the white board and thought it would be easy. I would rate my project a solid 7 out of 10 because I think it looked really nice at the end but I didn't really work that hard on it. I like the end project a lot, and like the way it looks with the music and everything.

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

This weekend was prom, so it was very fun. Something funny that happened was when we were at dinner, we went to kyoto, the chef tossed up a shrimp to my friend and it went down her dress when she tried to catch it. Then he tossed it again and it went down her dress a second time. That was really funny. Another funny story is when we were taking pictures a mom jokingly said jump and my friend Emma actually jumped and the picture that we got of it was really funny.

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

Yes I completed the photo scavenger hunt, I walked around with Hannah and Colin on Friday and took the pictures. However, Adam is my partner. I liked taking the long shots and the birds eye view photos. I took all of my photos at school.

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. 

For my stop motion animation, I'm going to have a fruit salad make itself. There will be stairs that build themselves out of Lincoln logs. Then the fruit will go up those stairs and into the bowl one by one. Then there will be the fruit that needs to be cut up and peeled will do it themselves, the go up the stairs. Then it will mix itself and everything will be together and it will be done.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

On Thurday I went to Petland and did my story board about a trip to pet land.This weekend I had a volleyball tournament on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We did OK in it but it was a lot of fun because it was the Show Me qualifier and that is my favorite tournament for the whole year. They have all theses bouncy houses and trampolines and stuff that makes it really fun. I also went out to eat on Friday and Saturday. For Easter I got new clothes and good candy. I also went too the Nelson this weekend.

What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it.

This time of the year is really beautiful. It is just now getting warm out now, so everyone is happier and the bright colors of spring are out everywhere you look. However, my favorite part about this  time of the year is days exactly like this. When it is warm outside, but still really rainy and humid. I like this because I love the rain, and I think it is really beautiful but I hate when it is cold and you can't actually go in the rain. It is really beautiful and I love standing in the warm rain.
