Mi Rutina Diaria

Posted by Longnu Nhan in Spanish 2 - Gierke on
So this is my daily routine. It was a very long process but I did it. By doing this project, the video did help me learn how to conjugate without hesitating.
One thing that I didn't involve in my video was eating. I wish I added that in. Other than that, I think my project was awesome. I put in a lot of work. I like how my video was flowing and my music went a long with it.

Another Baseball Story

Posted by Andre Serrano in Storytelling - Chase on
Panic was racing through everyone’s mind. There was no way we could blow this. All I could do was watch at first base as the trusted pitcher delivered pitch after pitch outside of the strike zone.

 

Let me rewind – It was the championship game. The series was tied 1-1 in a best of three match. We were the underdogs, by far. The only reason we even made it to the playoffs was because there was no elimination in little league, an attempt to promote fairness, I guess. We already shocked everyone by beating the Athletics once. With our backs on the wall, we were able scrounger up a big inning. The score was 7-3.  All of a sudden, our pitcher started acting uncharacteristically, walking several people in a row and giving up big hits. The fielders started to get uneasy as the score was creeping up on us. It was now 7-6 with the bases loaded and the count 3-0, the coach walked out to the mound, and signaled for a pitching change. He was calling for me. I threw my warm up pitches and prepared for the most unnerving baseball experience of my life. I immediately threw two pitches for strikes, knowing that if I missed, we would lose the game. He then proceeded to foul off the next couple of pitches. I prepared for the next pitch. I winded up. SWING AND A MISS.


--From this point, it's all sort of blurry. My teammates came racing in and bombarded me at the pitchers mound. We were awarded our championship trophies and were left with an experience we would never forget, being the underdogs the entire season, coming back to beat the beast team in the league.

Why One Ought Not Play With Their Food

Posted by Christine Walden in Storytelling - Chase on
I poured a bag of skittles into a jar, turned out all the lights in the room excepting the flashlight I had placed underneath said jar, and stared at the delicious rainbow candies within. I then moved the jar about until the skittles formed a mountain and gazed upon this little world under the bright light of its false sun. I imagined myself inside jar. I imagined myself inhabiting that simple world. I imagined while in this place, I climbed the malnutritous mound of skittles. I had looked haggard and hungry during this expedition, comically so when considering the location. I climbed with fervor, deciding the petite me in the jar had long stared at this mountain. It had haunted me, forever looming above, keeping a secret knowledge at it peak. Anywho, as I mentioned before: I climbed until the peak and I were but yards apart. Feet. Inches. I took my final step and stood atop, looking out through the glass of the jar to see me, in my present 5'6'' form, staring down at my petite me's world with a giddy curiosity. My petite me yelled "Atlas!". Both 'me's laughed heartily. I than hastily shut off the flashlight, turned back on the lights I had earlier turned off, and repressed the terribly unpleasant thoughts that arose as I ate little me's scrumptious mountain.

La Rutina Diaria - BEE

​GO HERE FOR VIDEO (:

During the process of this experiment, I learned how to conjugate and actually remember words more easily. With new vocabulary, I tend to forget the words right after the unit is complete. But with this assignment I was able to think back to the beginning of everything we learned.

I am somewhat proud of my completed assignment. Due to a few obstacles, I was unable to film part of my evening routine. I think I did pretty well not showing those things, although they were big parts like dinner, showering, and putting on pajamas.

If I were to do this over again, I would work at a pace because when we were told that the due date would be a week later, I thought I was pretty far ahead and I could hold it off. Big mistake because of the short week and everything just slipped my mind. I would pace myself and be able to turn it in on time.

I did enjoy this project. It's a very creative way to show that we learned something and be able to have some fun with it.


La Casa de los Espiritus

Posted by Jhonas Dunakin in Spanish Literature - Gierke on
El titulo de mi libro es La Casa de los Espíritus por Isabel Allende. El genero es Novela y Realismo Mágico. La trama es muy suspenso pero un poco confuso pero en el punto de vista de mi son mucho de los libros de Isabel Allende. No creo que puedo hacer un predicción haurita tengo que leer mas del libro. Me encanta el libro, me gusta leer sobre la magia y me gusta suspenso. Este libro tiene los dos cosas. Los personajes son muy bien escritos. Alguno tienen caracteres fuertes alguno débiles. No relaciona con nada nada de magia pasa con migo o predicciones de muerte. Yo recomiendo el libro para gente que les gustan magia, suspenso y un poco de terror. 

a note to self

Posted by Patricia Parker in Storytelling - Chase on

tumblr_lgauvavKeP1qa4th6o1_500whatever a person wants to do , they should do it . you should not stop because of what others think. people are going to judge you until the day you die. if you truly think about it, there is no way you can be mentally, physically, or emotionally happy -to your full potential unless you live for YOURSELF. Its pointless to say ” dont judge me” or “dont judge me unless you know me”  its literally pointless! People will judge you NO MATTER WHAT, its apart of life. Your mother judges you, your father, your sister, your friend, boyfriend, girlfriend and so on. EVERYONE JUDGES YOU. even GOD himself. They may not hold you accountable, they may understand more than others and accept what you do but  WE as HUMANS JUDGE. And if they dont accept you , its fine. You dont need acceptance. Acceptance is something that the world uses as fuel. It may  very well push you, but it wont keep you up. At any time , anything and anyone can deny you. if you were born on your own , you can think on your own, be on your own, and be your own person. live for your own goddamn self.  and if they dont like it , ....then what do you and i do ?


Inside his head

Posted by Taylor Valentine in Storytelling - Chase on
Every night during dinner, my brother tells us jokes that occurred to him at school.  I swear he has a running narrative in that head of his, but that's a story for another night.  My dad bought him a watch for his birthday last week and asked him if he was enjoying wearing it.

"Yea, it was great in class today!"
"What happened?"
"Well my teachers are always running into lunch, so today when my math teacher asked, 'What's 34 divided by 2', I looked at my wrist and thought, It's 5 past 12.  Can we go now? 

At least his jokes stay inside his head.

Right Place at the Right time :)

Posted by Dominque Miller in Storytelling - Chase on
On my way home from school, I was waiting for the sub. After about 5 mins, it came and my car was pretty empty. I was standing right behind a little girl, so I thought I would get my favorite seat. The one facing outward, going the direction of the train. Anyway, right before I could get my seat the little girl in front of me and her mom took my seat. I was so angry so I got I sat in the seat behind them. When I looked down in the seat, to make sure I didn't sit in anything, and there it was! Sitting right in the crack of the seat in the wall was $5! I picked it up and found $2 inside! Just my luck, thanks to the little girl taking my favorite seat I found $7!

Madison Kai Craig-Williams

 That's my sister name.
 & she is the only person keeping me sane in my household.

 As you my know by now, my life, isn't the greatest, sweetest or a teeny bit envied.

My friends always tell me I should rebel at least once, and it will let my mother know that she can't control everything that goes on in my life. They say I'm scared.

One, that logic doesn't make sense.
Two, I'm not scared, I'm smart.

 And ultimately, I love my sister too much to just leave her like that.


 I know that when i go to college that's going to be like leaving her too, but at least I can pick her up when I want, and take her places when I want, and show her the more free side to childhood.
 The childhood free to make mistakes and learn from them, and sleepovers, and summer nights, and all those things that I missed out on.

Effective Airport Screening Measures and Diplomatic Relations

Posted by Jeffrey Kessler in American History - Laufenberg on


Reflection: As a transportation buff, I instantly decided to research the Transportation Security Agency for my NHD project. Since there have been many changes in the TSA's rules, as well as changes in the screening processes preformed by other countries, I found it interesting to discuss how the TSA operates and how changing their measures have related to debates and diplomatic relations. I found some difficulty in being able to access primary resources of the TSA screenings, considering it is illegal to take photographs or record video/audio in the screening area. However, there are still photos of the screening areas that were photographed outside of the screening area. Since my project had many photos, yet required much space for written explanations, a website was an appropriate and excellent choice to combine the two into one succinct and concurrent project. Surprisingly, I was extremely successful in finding accounts of the screening area, as well as finding information about Israel's transparent interview-based screening process. From this project, I obtained a solid and deep understanding about the various methods of airport screening protocols and how changes to these protocols have affected international relations. In the future, I would've liked to make my website more interactive (not permitted by the NHD rules), interviewed TSA agents, and recorded video / taken photographs of the TSA's screening processes and procedures.
