Q2-Stop Motions
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.

Trader Joe's Tomatoes
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!
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?

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!
¿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!
Stop el sufrimento! STOP the suffering
Trader Joe's? Trader No!
I did a flyer telling people to stop shopping at Trader Joe's. At the bottom is a quote "Pick tomatoes" and two short points about working in the field

Lobbying Post 3
Chaka Fattah supports the Clean Energy Act which would say that he is supportive of the anti-fracking movement, however he is a governmental figure and fracking brings in money which is probably why he doesn't make a direct stand quite yet. However it isn't just him it’s many Philadelphia representatives are staying quiet on the issue because the people whom are sincerely benefiting from fracking are these big oil companies. To be honest these companies are actually the ones support and fund these campaigns of our officials. Not to mention that government has had a history to have been involved with these businesses which would explain the Dick Chaney loop hole that basically negates the Safe Water Drinking Act. However the EPA said they would “weigh rules” on chemicals in fracking.
The people would be the most essential to turning this thing over because the people are everything in America. If this truly is a government by the people for the people our officials should not allow this to happen to us. Even if the officials aren't for the people they are definitely for themselves and keeping their jobs. The people are the biggest power that I would need for this issue and that could sway any political democratic political leader. There is an anti-fracking movement, but the fact they aren't big in the media tells me they aren’t big at all. There was a event November 3rd called "No Fracking Way," which had a pretty good turnout which is great however I've heard very little since then and I don't know if they are in collaboration with anti-fracking movement.

Sólo 1¢ Mas!
- What it's like to work as a tomato picker in Florida
- I know that the workers have to be out in the farm in extreme heat. Not only that, when they're working, they have to be very efficient and fast so that they can earn more money. They get paid only 40-50 cents per bucket of tomatoes. In addition, one bucket is like 32 lbs. No Americans will work this hard to earn only 50 cents. - The problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's
- The problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's is that unlike other companies, trader joe's is not participating in a organization that provides fair amount of money for the workers. The worse part is that the workers are only asking for 1 more cent per bucket. It is really shameful because everyone goes to Trader Joe's to buy groceries and Trader Joe's ask for more money than any other grocery shop. They are being selfish. - What we can do about it
- We can make this unfairness publicized so that Trader Joe's CEO can feel a guilty and pay legitimate amount of money for the poor workers that suffer.
Lobbying Post 3: Curfew
For this new Philadelphia Law of the curfew a lot of people are going along with it. I feel as though this would be a good year because not only will it clear the streets at night but it will also decrease the vandalism in the city during Friday nights when kids don't have school the next day. All of the elected officels have induced their support for the issue except for one. There's a mixture of mixed emotions on this new law, for example the deputy Everett Gillison talks about how this would be good for the public he says "If there's a time that a kid is out at a certain time and a officer spots them they will be asked for identification and if there's a problem that the officers will be entitled to do what they have to." Then there are the people who don't believe this curfew should be past as a law. For example Jim Lynam the 76ers' coach says "I'm not a curfew guy and I never had curfews with my kids." Over all a high percentage of people are for the law and over power the people who don't want to turn this into a law, but the people who aren't for it still have a say in the law. The media has a big part to do with this, for example the more that people see these vicious teens the more they want the law to take place. The message that the people see is to try and keep kids off the streets and when this law starts off it will be a decrease in kids in Philadelphia who will be out late at night.
(Everett Gillison)
(Mayor Nutter)
The stakeholder who's trying to fix this problem is Mayor Nutter. He can't do it alone he also need the help of the citizens. Addressing the parents to make sure where their child is and what their up to. Not only is the Mayor the only person trying to make this law work but also the citizens of Philadelphia as well. For example Tyrone Werts is a Philadelphia citizen and he stood a long side the police officers in center city trying to keeps kids off of the streets. He says "I wanted to get involved in the world and make a different to the youth." The Allies that need to be on board would have to be the different citizens in Philadelphia, with out their help, probably nothing will change. Then we have the protesters. In this video a group of people shout "We need schools, not the curfew!" Another stakeholder would be the National Youth Rights Association. This is an organization that support the no curfew for youth. The one council member that didn't agree to go along with the law would prob ably have something to do with being involved with this organization.

I decided that rather than using text, I would use pictures to show my name. I used layout and size to decide that the L in my name would be bigger so that it would catch people’s attention. I kept the E, A and H in my name all the same size, which was significantly smaller than my L and actually fit into it. Because of the layout of my pictures becoming letters, I have also demonstrated unity.
