​I chose to do a biographical children's book, which sort've tells the story of my life up to now and into the future.


*My project required me to depend heavily on the charts we made, and then subsequently look relentlessly for illustrations that will match the story perfect. Then, I placed or altered the text to the illustrations.


*One thing I like about this project are the illustrations. I'm think they all look great and really help with the story.

*One thing I would change is extending the story, or making a fictional story, opposed to simply telling the story of my life.

*One thing I learned in doing this project is how to try to create an interesting story.

For our last quarter we were suppose to create a piece of art work out of things you find and can use for different things. Things like duct tape, newspaper, etc. but I decided to use plastic bottles, bottle caps and cardboard. The thing that I created was a stool, because it was different. This stool isn't for sitting but just for show the  legs are made out of plastic bottles and the seat is made out of cardboard and bottle caps. I did this because in all honesty I didn't know what to do but then I was sitting on a stool and a friend suggested I make it so I became in agreement with her and did it. I came with the idea of bottles because I didn't think it was common for people to use them but common for people to use. And I didn't want to throw the caps away so I just decided to use them.
 And then we were to draw a picture of a bike 3 different ways. A regular pencil drawing, a shadow drawing, and a no space drawing. This was a very difficult task because I don't think I am a good artist so I doubt my self a lot but I think my pictures came out better then expected. I drew the regular one first and then shaded the darker parts and the light dark parts. After that I drew all over it and made it seem as though the bike was the only thing showing.
I feel like this was one of my best quarters this year because I feel as though I really accomplished what I needed to and got that I shouldn't try and look for the perfection the flaws that I improved on over the year.

Poemas de la Guerra civil

 

Poema #1:

 

Yo recuerdo.

El ruido.

Los avión, los aves de metal

Y los huevos del aves de metal.

Los huevos grande. Pero los huevos no tiene vida interior, tiene muerte.

Recuerdo los explosiones, el chillado del bombas.

Hombres no son para volar, y madres no deben sobrevivir sus niños.

Pero Yo recuerdo.

 

Poema #2:

 

Hola Papa. Tengo Miedo.

Anoche los aviones llegaron.

Hay un sirena, y mucho gritar. Y luego, los explosiones. Despues de los explosions, no escuché mucho gritar. No escuché nada. Pero poco y poco, los sonidos volven.

Adios Papa, te quiero.

 

Poema #3:

 

Hoy dia los escuelas cerrada. Soy muy emocionado porque quiero jugar fútball con mis amigos, pero mama hizo en casa por pasa tiempo con la familia. Estoy triste, quiero jugar fútball. Mama dice hay Guerra en el norte. Quiero ver los soldados y los armas, pero mama no quiero me vi la Guerra.

 

Poema #4:

 

Hola mi amor.

Espero que tu y los niños estan bien.

Estoy vivo, pero no bien. No estoy mal porque soy vivo, pero no es un vive bueno.

Mi rifle se ha convertido un parte de mi vida como mi vieja imprenta.

Oigo el otro soldados lucha. Ellos lucha por cosas differentes. Por libre, por sus familias, por sus vidas. No se que yo lucha por, pero no parada hasta el Guerra se terminado.

Adios mi amor

 

Poema #5:

 

Mama,

Estoy escribiendo por dice que sentia bien.

Estoy en el fuerza aérea.

Volo con cuatro otros personas en un bombardero.

Hoy nosotros bombardeado un ciudad principale.

Exito sentia bien, pero sentia mala a el tiempo mismo.

Yo mato muchos personas, y no se nada de ellos.

No tiene un razon por matar ellos.

Ellos no ataca me. Son solo personas en el lugar mal a un tiempo mal.

Sentia horrible

Mama, quiero estar en casa.

 

Juan.

 

Poema #6:

Diario

Hoy dia vi muchos aviones con mi luz de búsqueada.

Los rayos fervorosamente perisiguiendo los aviones

El metal brilliante con el sol durante los noches mas oscuro

Solo se eclipso de los parpadea de los armas de antiaérea

En un instantanea, el avion caída del cielo, y los luz de búsqueada elegir un nuevo avion

 

 

Poema #7:

Dios,

Proteger los personas de este cidudad.

En un tiempo muy mal los peronsas vi a tu por orientacion

Por ayuda, por todo.

Misericidioso Dios, por favor repuesto el ciudad de nosotros.

Me han guiado el ciudad en sus manos, ahora por favor guardar nosotros.

For my quarter number four benchmark I did a keynote and converted it to a quicktime movie. My project was about me and what was like in the past and present day. My project also has my plan for the next 15 years.

​
I wrote a poem for this quarters spanish benchmark describing my life goals and past experiences. I had difficulties trying to use my basic knowledge of poetry and incorporating my spanish knowledge as well I had to really utilize my resources around me. I enjoyed this project I got to remember  the good parts about my life that has happened and what to look forward to in the future. 

Below is the poem I submitted on paper for my final Spanish two Benchmark! 


Mis padres contaron un cuento de la lluvia u8de la noche en que nacî,

El 05 de septiembre fue la segunda vez que ocurrio un tsunami le tocó el útero en Filadelfia

Yo nací con ángeles,

Siempre quiero devolver el favor a los cielos

Un maestro de educación especial en mi descripción genética, la bendición de tener un corazón suficientemente grande para los componentes para ayudar a la gente.

Quiero ir a la universidad después de la secundaria para ampliar mi propósito

Yo quiero tres ninos

Cada dia yo me despierto abriendo mis ojos a la realidad

Eso es deformada,

hay veces que no viva entiendo

todo va a trabjar a lo ultimo

Continuare a jugar el volibol en

las nubes y vivir my vida con Dios ,

el encontro rerfugio en mi corazon

 

For my Q4 Benchmark I made a story book. I think that this really reflected me in a lot of ways. Number 1, its about me. Number 2, I think that the story book reflected me in the way it was set up. It's really colorful, and pictorial. I think that it's interesting because I wrote it in 3rd person, and then at the end, you find out that it's me, even though its BY me. What was bad was the fact that there are no REAL pictures... and its sad... :( What I would change would be the fact that I would add real pictures of me. (My mommy has all the pictures ]:)

Link to the movie in FLV format.  There is no other way for us to upload at this time.

This is the story of a boy who desires to be a fancy dancer.  His father, a righteous protector of the law, wants the child to grow up the same way.  The boy runs away and involves himself with a very charismatic drug lord with the power of hypnotism, who promises to let him be a fancy dancer.  Along the way, he develops a relationship with a box of drugs.

A Watered Down Tomorrow was originally meant to be a parody of film noir.  This, along the way, was discarded in favor of still making the movie look like an old film, but it stopped trying to have any sort of roots in film noir or any other sort of cinematic style.  The film does not utilize the camera angles, lighting, and many of the themes that made film noir what it was, but it is still a story of crime, drugs, a hard-boiled detective, and fancy dancing.

For my project, I created an iMovie with a slideshow of images. There are slides that include words and relate to my photos. 

In the process of this benchmark, I enjoyed looking through all the pictures in the past and it was very fun. It brought back a lot of memories one wouldn't really remember at random moments. Some struggles I went through were scanning the pictures. My scanner wasn't connected to my laptop, so I couldn't really use it. What I had to use was a camera. I attempted using Photo Booth, but that was a fail. So, I resorted to using my camera on my phone - which would explain some of the horrible quality. Next time, if I were to re-do this project, I would find a working scanner and use that for better pictures. 

Extraño

Muy, extraño

Yo era muy extraño

No un poco, pero era que mucho.

Yo gustaba pokémon y yu-gi-oh,

No un poco, pero gustaba que mucho.

Yo no gustaba barbies y niñas,

No un poco, pero no gustaba mucho.

Mi familia es muy impotante

Mi amigo’s de escuela son muy importante tambíen.

Yo no era normal…

En el futuro sere la astronaught

Yo queriá volar a la luna.

 

Yo soy atlético y inteligentes,

Te gusta béisbol.

Te gusta béisbol mucho.

No un poco, pero gustaba que mucho.

Mi amigos es muy important para mí.

Mi día voy a la escuela y más tarde a mi casa.

 

En cinco años yo soy atlético y intelligente

Trabjo con apple store o en el militares,

Yo sere es soldado y programmador

No me gustaba Yankees, Microsoft y videojuegos

En diez años yo soy atlético y loco

Yo sere un professonales de beísbol o

Trabajo con blizzard o

Maestro de computadoras.

Yo cambiare el mundo por recycling y

Ayudar a los sordos.

I made a poem that represents me as a person and what im going to be when I grow up! I think what I could have done differently is that it doesn't really sound like a poem when translated into english. I think what I did well was I met All the requirements.

what is your project?
my project is a book.
what do you like about it?
i got to do my own thing on it and do what ever i wanted to do with it.
what would you do differently?
nothing really because i really liked this project and everything thing about it.

Reflection: 

My project is a Comic life movie on how I was when I was born, to age 7 through 10, present day and also to the future. 

I like that it reflects on my life using spanish. A language that is foreign to me and some of the things we've learned over the course of year rushed back to my mind. 

Perhaps next time I might use something different besides Comic Life and iMovie. 

My project is an online book that I designed containing my life story. The thing I like most is the pages and the pictures that they have on them. Overall the book is really nice. If I would have done thins project differently, I would have used more pictures. 

Here's the link to my online story book, enjoy :)
Enjoy :))))

​my project is a children's that talks about my life

My project is a video story of my life from when I was younger up until now. I liked that I got to talk about my childhood and how I used to be. I would do a book instead.

Week 1 - Sculptures

 

I looked up how to make a marine biome. In order to do this I just had to look up different animals and other objects that were found in the biome. Although you can't see it very well, the hardest part was gluing the sand to the shoebox and making it appear rippled like waves. 

Week 2 - Photoshopped Pictures ​



The first picture was a picture that I tried to photoshop. It didn't come out very well and I spent too much time just trying to perfectly cut myself out. The second photo I used flickr instead of photoshop. I find flickr easier to use, and easier for me to color contrast.

Week 3 - Copy a famous Artist 

  

This was a picture that I found online. The different textures of the picture is was really intrigued me into trying to remake it. However one problem i had was trying to find the correct materials to try and remake the photo. In the end I couldn't find what to use, so I just used chalk pastels, but It didn't come out correctly.

Week 4 - Bike Drawing 

 
Line Drawing 


Negative Space


Shading 

My bike drawings was the hardest part. I had a hard time trying to draw the bike and an even harder time drying to make them fit the requirements. I think my best bike drawing was the one where I used shading. This is mostly because that is one of my strongest skills, so that is the one I'm best at.

Week 5 - Outside Drawing 



This is the picture that I am most proud of this quarter. We had to draw a scene from outside and on that week I was sick, so I just googled a picture. It was a picture of a tree in the sunset. I used oil pastels and created a really nice blend of several different colors. This is my favorite piece of the year. :)

My project was a short booklet about me.   I like the fact that I was allowed to draw for this project.  I might have colored it like I originally planned, if I did the project over.  The booklet is three pages showing me growing from a kid to the present, and then what I may look like 10 years from now.  I drew several examples of the things I wrote about.
