I think that this teacher's blog post is encouraging and interesting. It is encouraging because you can see that teachers actually care about all their students as people, not just their grades. It is also encouraging because it shows that teachers all willing to do whatever it takes to help you not quit on school. It is interesting because it is written from a teacher's point of view. The "main event" is learning how to deal with what life throws at you without giving up or being negative about the situation. During high school, this means dealing with people tha annoy you and classes that push you to your breaking point.

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.

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 felt like my stop motion animation project was really good. I think it went very well because there were a lot of really good stop motion videos. What worked for me was being able to have a lot of freedom on what we were going to do and when we were going to do it. I think one thing that didn't work was letting people have so much freedom. I think the freedom was both something that didn't work and something that did because some people didn't use their time wisely, but a lot of people did use their time wisely. This has been my favorite project so far because I thought how my video turned out was really cool and I really liked it.

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 idea for a stop motion animation is to draw an outdoor scene on a piece of paper. I'm going to slowly draw grass, draw a tree with a swing, the sun, flowers, and a girl swinging on a swing. I have not started taking photos yet, but I plan on starting today. My plan is to get most if not all of my pictures done today.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
Stop motion animation is where you make an inanimate object look like it is moving. You make it look like it is moving by taking a lot of pictures, but in each picture the object is slightly moved. In the end when you put all of the pictures are played continuously the inanimate object should look like it is moving.

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 5 frame storyboard is about a boy shooting a basketball. It shows the steps he takes to make a basket. I enjoyed taking the pictures for my storyboard. I used my digital camera that has a sports action mode that continuously takes pictures while you are holding the button. It provided me with a variety of photos for my project. I disliked how long it took some of the websites to load my photos. It was inconvenient and slowed the editing process down. I didn't think it was hard to fit my story into 5 frames, but I feel like some stories would be hard to fit into 5 frames. I think my storyboard tells a clear story. One thing I would do differently if I could is not take as many photos. I ended up with over 300 photos so it was hard to choose the best ones for my story. I think that if I took less photos it would be easier to choose between photos and then I could start editing sooner.

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?
I do not know what a storyboard is, but I think it has to do with photos and photo editing because that is what we are currently learning about. When I went on Google and searched for storyboards it said that they are a sequence of photos/illustrations that create a template for a motion picture or animation. You can make storyboards with just pictures, or with pictures and words if the pictures need to have captions.
