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 the teachers are giving us homework for our benefit. The "main event" are 1 or more classes that are for college credit.

Answer the following questions thoroughly on your blog. 

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

When you have done a really thorough job of answering these questions on your blog, you may have a study hall the rest of the hour. This blog post is worth 3 times as many as the others. Make it count!

1. My stop motion video was about a train colliding. The only reason why I chose this is because I love trains. It was 50% easy and 50% difficult. I always thought that making a video is  easy, but it isn't.

2. I would rate 8 because there has been some challenges I faced.

3. I should do better in time management because my slides were a little to low than everyone's.

4. Well most people know that I love trains, but now everyone knows in this class.

5. I feel that I should get an A on it, because I worked all day on this.

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

Last Friday, I went to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate my friend's birthday party. On Saturday, I got invited to my best friend's sleepover. On Sunday, my dad and I went to see this movie called Furious 7. 

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.

Nobody is going to help me with my stop-motion animation. I'm going to need model trains and lego people. It all take place at my home. I be taking shot of an Amtrak train arriving at a station to pick up passengers, departing from the station and colliding.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

There was a Kite Festival in Overland Park at the Arboretum. My kite shaped like and it made too many crash landings.
