Timothy Ingram Q2 Media Fluency

Posted by Timothy Ingram in Technology - Hull on
I first started off thinking about my life and what I want to do with my life. I knew I wanted to succeed in life and go down the right path. So I decided to put A PATH TO SUCCESS. Then I decided to put a path with men going in the right direction because they want to succeed like me. Also I thought it was a good idea to put a success point, when they reach there access point. I pick these certain colors because it my favorite color and it expresses me.

I used this because it gave me a idea how to express myself and how to support my words.

Kenyatta Bundy's Slide

Posted by Kenyatta Bundy in Technology - Hull on
On my presentation I made sure that I had a counteracting of COLORS from the CONTRAST of the darker red to the black the the lighter red fonts. Also i made sure the SIZE of the fonts that were more important were larger then that of the other fonts. Also the SIZE of the pictures compared to the fonts are a little larger. Also the alignment and patterns of the pictures were in corners.

Get to Nomi (know me) !

Posted by Nomi Martin-Brouillette in Technology - Hull on
I put my name in to have that be the central focus. Then, I put things  am intersted in surrounding my name. My name is eye-catching. It is the thing that will most be remembered. My color os not distracting, but will draw attention. My text is big. There are very few words. The colors of the signs are corresponding so the eye will not have to take in too much. This is why i placed everything as I did.

Gabriel's Cancion... thingy.

Posted by Gabriel Pingitore in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

Centelleo centelleo pequena estrella

Trabajo de Trader Joe's es muy dificil,

Ellos no tienen remuneracion adecuada,

y recoger tomates durante todo el día

Espero que las cosas cambien muy pronto

Porque me encanta Trader Joe's!


El trabajo en Trader Joe no es justo.

Deben hacer más que ellos.

Me encanta la comida Trader Joe's.

En realidad es demasiado barato


Recogiendo tomates durante todo el día

Es muy caliente cuando lo hacen

Pero a pesar de que no es justo

Alguien tiene que hacerlo!


Era una broma,

Yo no soy esa media,

Pero esperemos que Trader Joe's fija su problema pronto,

Porque yo tengo hambre de unos tomates...


 - What it's like to work as a tomato picker in Florida?

Es muy dificil porque es trabajo mucho. Hace mucho calor y no es que mucho dinero. (The people are forced to work in the heat to lift very heavy barrels of tomatoes for very low prices. This is a very bad problem that can hopefully be solved).



- The problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's?

Si ousted compra los tomates, que apoyan de trabajo. Pero es difícil a evitar. (If you buy tomatoes from Trader Joe's, then you support the work that the people are doing in Florida. Or it simply shows your ignorance towards where the tomatoes are actually coming from).



- What we can do about it?

Podemos hablar con los gentes, y mostrarles el problema. (A lot of people aren't aware of the problem happening in Florida, so maybe if they knew, then they could help change things with us and spread the word).

Trader Joe's Project

Posted by Morgan Marant in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
  • what it's like to work as a tomato picker in Florida 
    The work is really hard and painful. They usually work in horrible conditions and for little pay. 
  • the problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's
    Trader Joe's has refused to boycott companies that make it possible for these conditions to continue. The workers would like one cent more per bucket of tomatoes.
  • what we can do about it 
    We can boycott Trader Joe's and write letter to the CEO. It's not fair for working people to earn less than minimum wage.

Q2-Stop Motions

Posted by Dejah Harley in Advanced Art - Hull on
The first three projects for the quarter were stop motions. A stop motion is basically when you take pictures to make a video. You can do this by taking pictures of things in progress.
    With my first two stop motions I focused on the things that we do with our hands. The first things that came to mind was food and water. Therefore, I took one picture at the beginning and moved my hand 2 centimeters closer to the Reese's™ cup like I was trying to eat and took a picture. I keep doing this every two centimeters until I took a bite of  the Reese's™ cup. Another part of this stop motion was my friend drinking a bottle of water. The same concept of taking the pictures that was applied to me biting the Reese's™ cup was applied to her reaching for her water bottle and drink it. After taking all those picture i uploaded all of them from my camera to iMovie. I Then, make each picture fit the screen and take up only .2 seconds of the video. This was able to make it so that it would look as if it was a video playing. Sadly this video cannot be uploaded. However, I uploded the video to my blogger account. Here is the post.
    With my third stop motion I took the project a step further by making everyone who agreed to help do a dance. The dance I chose for them to learn was the robot. It was simple and I knew the perfect song that I would play in the background of the video. The same concept used to make the last stop motions was applied to this one. The only thing different was that I edited the video to make it seem like it was more of a music video or a trailer for a song. The song playing in the background is "D.A.N.C.E." by Justice. The video is shown beneath this post.
    The things that i learned from doing this project are that it is important to keep the same frame or dimensions of the picture to make it seem like the video has more of a flow. I problem that I had while making this project is that you have to take many pictures for the video to be long. Within the second video, I took 140 pictures at it is less than a minute long. Overall, I had a good time doing this project.

Don't Buy The Tomatoes/No Compra Las Tomates

Click Here for the website to my project. (Aquí es la pagina de mi proyecto) 

La solución ... a difundir el conocimiento ds buena idea por qué muchas personas puede saber sobre las situación y habla sobre maneras hacer mejor. 

Los mandatos son correctos en el parte de "What You Can Do/Qué Puede Hacer". 

Me gusta el formato, pero yo no quiería un foto de los tomates, porque es muy típico tener. Quiero las personas a imaginar la situación con su mente.

Trader Joe's Tomatoes

Posted by Longnu Nhan on
For this project we had to create either a movie, flyer, or anything we would like to do to create an advertisement to make a difference at Trader Joe's. Para ester proyecto hemos tenido que crear una película, volante, o cualquier cosa que nos gustaría hacer para crear un anuncio para hacer una diferencia en Trader Joe. I decided to create a video because I'm more of a visual person. Decidí crear un video porque yo so más de una persona visual. It's a big deal because farm workers in Florida are working their hardest to give us our healthy eating. It's fair enough to give them a one cent raise because it could make a difference in someone's life. They're working harder then most of us so let's be nice and agree to this event. Es difícil trabajar como obrero agrícola, porque el clima es horrible. Creo que debería haber una petición de estos trabjadores del campo para obtener un aumento.


 

Un Centavo Más!

Posted by Jessica Hinton in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Working as a tomato picker in Florida is very difficult. Not only do these people work for long hours, but they are also mistreated. For every 32 lb. bucket of tomatoes they pick, they only receive 50 cents.

The problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's, is that the C.I.W is trying to form an agreement with them to make them buy their tomatoes for one cent per lb, to help the Immokalee workers in Florida.

What we can do about it?
- Aprende más información.
- Dona a la CIW
- Hablá a mercados locales sobre la CIW
- Sostén
- Hablá con más personas sobre la CIW

The workers in Florida have to face extreme injustices. When Trader Joe's was asked to pay only one more cent for the tomates they buy they refused. Done y sostena la causa!!!

Say NO to JOE!/¡Decir NO a JOE!

Posted by Sierra Dinvil in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

¿Porque? 

Los imigrantes de Florida trabajan muy duro  (quizas mas duro que el Americano). Pero los trabajadores ganan 50¢ for 30 libras de tomates. Muchos son obligados a trabajar, con menos del salario minimo . Es in-humano!! 

¿Porque Trader Joe’s?

Trader Joe’s contratan a los trabajadores y los trata mal. 

¿Como podemos ayudar? 

Paren de comprar tomates de Trader Joes.

Ayuden a la protestar.

¡Mostren apoyo!

¡Manden letras al central de Trader Joe’s!

Why? 

The migrant workers in Florida work EXTREMELY hard (maybe even harder than your average American). However, they only make 50¢ for every 32 pounds of tomatoes. They are often threatened and forced to work but do NOT receive minimum wage. Thats in-humane!! 

Why Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s are the ones who are hiring these migrant workers and treating them so poorly.

How Can We Help?: 

STOP buying tomatoes from Trader Joe’s!!

Help protest! 

Show your support!

Send letters to Trader Joe’s Headquarters!
