Diario para 4/6/11

Posted by Desiree Mack in Spanish 4 - Manuel on
Todas las personas tienen una obligación moral de denunciar los crimenes porque es la cosa derecha hacen. Muchas personas tienen miedo cuando ellos vistan los crimenes entonces, ellos no ayuda. No creo la mamá de Pablo fue criminal tanto como fue criminal su papá porque ella tiene miedo de la papá y ella no quiero rompe su familia. La evidencia es la herida.

Average Day of Venezuelan Boy

Posted by Davonte Martin in Globalization - Laufenberg on
After completing this assignment, I realized that the average life of a 12 year old boy in Venezuela is much different from what my life was like when I was 12. For one most 12 year olds in Venezuela work in order to help provide for their family. When I was 12, working was the last thing on my mind. I also was surprised that in Venezuela, most schools began session at noon and ended around 6:00pm. I thought that this was interesting because the high kidnapping rate should have enforced school officials to change school hours. I expected to find that the kids would have some sort of labor once in throughout their day because I normally read about child labor in South America. I think that when a Venezuelan Boy is 40, he would have more work ethic because he began working at such a young age. That's the only thing that I believe will remain the same. 70% of college students in Venezuela will become the most wealthiest people in their country.

There's not much to wirte about these days anymore..

I had a great talk with my dad a few days ago about honoring parents and living right. I love that man, no matter how much he gets on my nerves. I'm blessed to have him

I hate being sick.

Posted by Melissa Buchanico in Storytelling - Chase on
I haven't been sick in so long, but unfortunately today I woke up with a really high fever, a sore neck, a head that felt like it was a million pounds, a really sore throat, and weak knees. 
Thank you, sinus infections. 

I basically slept until 12, then realized I had work to do. Ugh. 

Oh, the concert last night was AMAZING. 
The absolute best concert I have ever been to in my life. 
Hands down. 

This is directed towards Freda:
Freda, I just read your really long post about you and Sam and I wanted to say that really made me look up to you. It's nice to know that you're happy and that you don't care what others think of your relationship. The fact that you were so open within that post showed me how strong of a person you are. I hope others look up to you someday because the world needs more people like you. <3. 

Great I'm starting to sweat again.. I think this fever keeps coming back ):

Reflection Post #2

Posted by Christine Walden in Storytelling - Chase on
Well things have gone a tad awry. My character has deviated a bit from the scheduled plot line. I would like to say that this is me attempting to add authenticity to my her- "she needs to get acquainted with the website before she starts making such personal revelations"- but in truth it is because I forgot that this was just a character in a story. I enjoy the gal, now I need to start telling her predetermined tale. On the bright side of this accident, I think I can comfortably say my character is a great deal more "fleshed out" than she might otherwise have been and we are able to see more her relationship Merriweather a.k.a. the "Anonymous Asshole."
All in all, I am enjoying it immensely.

Reflection post #2

Posted by Christopher Cassise in Storytelling - Chase on
I have used the reality of cursing and other tools to show my main character. He is still in the beginning stages of the story telling it through tumblr which I might add is very confusing to work. Making blog posts are easy but doing it at the right time is important, that could mean staying up until 3am to write a post on a week day to make the realistic perspective obvious.


Reflection Post

Posted by John DeSalis in Storytelling - Chase on
Well, here in this post is supposed to be a reflection, so here it goes...

Currently, I am in the process of creating a Blog for my character. i am still unsure of what i am going to call it, something schnazy I hope. It should be "alive" by the beginning of school tomorrow, if not it will be by the end of the day. 

I also must add, I am horrible at keeping deadlines :( and I am sure I am going to pay the consequences in the long run.

and now for education - assignment for 4.6.11

Posted by Diana Laufenberg in Globalization - Laufenberg on
Using the same country... develop an education profile - rates of attendance at different levels, boys vs. girls, who pays for the education, access to college/trade school. Upload YOUR SUMMARY (in your own words) here

as well as....

Then use gapminder to see if there are CORRELATIONS between health factors and education factors. For instance...Is there a direct correlation between money spent on education and health? Screenshoot and upload the image of that information. Try to find one direct and one inverse relationship between education and health for your particular country.

PLEASE POST ON MOODLE, NOT ON SLATE.

Dreaming.

Posted by Zachary Walls in Storytelling - Chase on
​What i can assume was monday night I had the type of dream where you keep waking up inside the dream. I woke up about 50 times and went through at least three school days within this time. Many strange things happened and it was one of the worst nights of sleep i've had in a while. Also for about a day i was convinced i was still dreaming.... might still be dreaming.

¿Tenemos una obligación moral de denunciar los crimenes? ¿Por qué hacemos la vista gorda en vez de intentar a ayudar? ¿Crees que la mamá de Pablo fue criminal tanto como (just as much as) fue criminal su papá? Si quisieras denunciar el caso de maltrato de Pablo, ¿qué indicios de maltrato darías como evidencia?

Raeven's Drawing

Posted by Raeven Maddox in Art - 9 - Hull on
The purpose of the project was to improve our skills in drawing and using orthogonals. In doing this project, I learned a lot about just using rectangles and squares. It became easier to just use rectangles and squares. Overall, I think that this project was difficult however it became easy on the long run knowing what to do. I started drawing my shapes from my vanishing point in the middle of my paper. I measured everything accordingly and how it was supposed to be done. It was easy to draw the lines after I figured out where to draw them. The hardest thing for me was to actually drawing the 3D shapes. I think it all payed off well. 

I likes Nicholas Dorobra picture because he really took time out and drew the room. it's neat and organized

Our first drawing of our portfolios was hand drawings. It was interesting enough to start us off by training our eyes to see what was there and not 'what we thought' was there. It was difficult at first to not make up things as I drew them because that's what I thought it was suppose to look like. The self portraits and clear glass drawing were the most difficult ones. The hands I thought were a great start because it seemed to me as the simplest drawing of them all and totally jumped start the things that came after.

It was just a bit frustrating for all of the drawings to get things to look like they did realistically. To transfer what I saw, through my hand, and onto the paper. Getting the shading down for the self portraits and see through glass was not particularly easy either because the lighting was always different each time I got back to my drawings. I think the drawing I spent the most time with is my self portraits because it was had to make it look real and like me. It was challenging to the right amount of shading, to shade and erase. It was also frustrating to hold the mirror and draw, it was not something I was use to.

The last assignment (to chose a genre and create works of art that are inspired by that era or that are copies of those chosen pieces) for this 3rd quarter was a bit difficult for me to finish because I didn't manage my time correctly thus why I didn't finish it. I put a lot of time into it, it was the most interesting learning experience because I didn't get directions from Ms. Hull but I just mimicked the pieces I found. I chose to do modern art because it's appealing to me how they mix such colors and shapes so beautifully. But I think thats why it took me so long because I kept mixing paint to try to get the right colors. I not only learned how to mimic their art but also learned how to somewhat mix paint.

The quarter was the most exciting because there were guidelines but we had a lot of freedom. It was like we had a destination but the adventure or journey there was totally in our hands and we could do whatever we wanted. The still life was my favorite because I was able to experiment with different colors instead of black charcoal. I was able to mix and shade on a different level. It was also interesting using white with the other colors. This quarter challenged me and definitely brought something out of me that I didn't think I had. 

In The Mourning.

Posted by Rachel Patterson in Storytelling - Chase on
You escape like a runaway train,
off the tracks and down again.
My hearts beating like a steam boat tugging all your burdens,
on my shoulders...

In the mourning I'll rise.
In the mourning I’ll let you die.
In the mourning...
All my worry...

Now there’s nothing but time that’s wasted,
and words that have no backbone.
Oh, the whole world seems to be waiting.
Can you hear the echoes fading?

In the mourning I'll rise.
In the mourning I'll let you die
In the mourning...

All my sorrys...


Senioritis

Posted by Jennifer Albright in Storytelling - Chase on
Graduation's winding closer and senioritis is kicking in, but not the lazy kind. The kind of senioritis when you realize how little time you have with the people you love before your entire life changes, you see your family less and you barely see your friends at all. The kind when you understand that your time to fix things is limited, your days to apologize for mistakes is numbered and you spend more of your time trying to get your life in order than you do on your school work. Instead of writing papers you wait for your free period the next day and you spend that night with your baby sister and your mom. Instead of working on your math homework you go out with your friends that you'll live hours away from in a few short months. As graduation comes closer I become more afraid and I let that fear alter the type of student that I have been all these years. I'm not saying this is okay, I'm just making sure it's known that I have a reason even if it doesn't seem like a very good one because the people I love come before anything and I've never been very good with change.

Reflective Post #2

Posted by Andre Serrano on
Thus far, I have laid a few of the main characters and the setting of the story. I have done this by having friends comment on my profile and status' with a comment that is substantial to the plot, often revealing key components of the story. I will continue to build the story for another day or so and then I will move on to the important part of the story.

I am having difficulty updating my posts throughout the day. I've heard there is a way to connect Twitter to Facebook and then have the twitter posts timed, but I have yet to figure it out. Also, I am trying to provide as much background information as possible that I deem necessary, but it's difficult finding pictures and videos of people that at least look similar enough to pass for each other.
