The main purpose of the site is to give a person fundraising ideas. The ideas mostly apply to school related activities/kid friendly. The only topic covered is fundraising ideas and quick way to achieve money. The site is a great resource. This source is useful because they help me achieve one of my goals for my club. The source provided a outlet to how to achieve money by fundraising. This source compared to other sources is very different. I'm not saying this source is less important, but I feel others are really key to my project. This source is for ideas that get my brain pumping. But yet this source is still significant because I found several ideas. This source is reliable but was created by someone. It's not a biased site because several ideas for both men and women are introduced.The information used from this source would be the fundraising ideas.


"At a Glance: Guatemala." UNICEF. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Feb. 2014. <http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/guatemala_60748.html>.


This source discusses the treatment of girls and women in Guatemala. Guatemala is a country that don't look at the rights of women. Often times girls are raped, cheated of education, and physically abused. Gender treatment is key around the world not only Guatemala, and it's difficult for women to succeed if the are treated unfairly. This source is extremely relevant to my capstone and to people in general. This source allows me to know what my club would be fighting for. I have actually factual data, and it makes the cause even more important. This source seems to be different but has equal importance as some of the other sources. This source explains what i'm fighting for, it allows everything i'm doing to have reasoning. This source is the reason.

This Girl Up website is the main outlet to my capstone. This site discusses what Girl Up is, the vision, mission, the stories, and how to start a club. The site has all of the clubs around the world. This site is very useful because it's a primary source. This source is one of the most important sources because it is the very outlet to my capstone.


The source has direct facts and key importance. This source is say this source is objective and biased. The source provides a outlet to understanding what Girl Up is but biased because a it talks about is Girl Up, no other organizations really.


Once again this source helped me with my project and starting my club. Since I'm starting a chapter, I used the mission, vision, Girl Up stories, and the blog to understand what Girl Up really means. This source is a excellent source.

This source is extremely useful because it helps me understand how to help girls. This source compared to other source seems to be just inspiration and not so many facts. The information is reliable and really inspiring.I use this site for reference on how to inspire girls and women. I love different outlets and maybe out club can write letters to Girl Inc. for supporting Girl Up.

University, Iowa State. "So Your the President..." Extension.iastate. Iowa State University, 1 Oct. 03. Web. 30 Jan. 2014. <http://www.extension.iastate.edu/publications/4H71A.pdf>.


The main arguments of this site is how to be a great president. The article on the site reflects how to make decisions, and be a powerful entity in the club. The article provides a list of guidelines that reflects how a president should run a club, and who should be elected to help them run it. The point of this article is to provide a clear understanding of a great leader, specifically a president. The article discuss how the president is the reflection of the club and is very important.


This source is very important to me and my project because I feel if you are going to lead people you need to know how to first. I want to be successful and that requires great technique an leadership skills. This source is much different from my Girl Up source because it was teaching me about a specific thing and nota idea. This article is a idea and facts about being a president and how to do the job well. I feel this source is reliable because it's a secondary source from a college. The source has facts, and key ideas that's reliable. This story seems to be biased to a certain idea of a president and not different ways to be successful. The article have a structured detail that focus on one way of being president an that's sort of biased.


The information from this source as said before is helpful with me and my project by preparing me to be a leader. The facts and so much don't help me prove anything, it helps me start, create, and be a better thinker. The concepts introduced in the article are very crucial.

​A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)

Negative space is the background of the image that is drawn. It is what's behind the image.


B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?

The cut out showed negative and positive space as different perspectives. The blue on the black switched to the other side and changed to a different perspective. When I drew the stool drawing ( hair pik drawing) I drew the outline of the hair pik and shaded the background a dark color to show the shape of the hair pik.


C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

It helps an artist to see in negative space because it helps them see the negative side of things. Also, it changes their views of seeing pictures.


D. How is negative space useful in creating art?

Negative space is useful in creating art because it helps you really see the artwork. It focuses it in away.

Karly Bornstein Q4 Storytelling BM~ Friendships

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrwBFk3bquo&feature=youtu.be <---Project here


  • What did you set out to do?
I was inspired by several videos to make my own video with the topic of friendship. This topic caught my interest from seeing different types of best friends around school, and friendship is also an important aspect of our lives. My idea was to talk to several best friends and do a short video on it based off of the questions I ask them. 
  • How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
Best friends spend a lot of time together, and stories will definitely be created from that. By making this movie, it tells a story of different kinds of friends and experiences they've had together. I think my video really demonstrates the diversity of students who have had a really close friendship for a while. 
  • What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
I want my audience to see how great friendships are and how much they shape our lives. I hope they now go to their best friend and share stories. 
  • What did you gain from doing this work?
I gained some more interviewing and editing skills. I really enjoyed interviewing all of the best friends. It was really interesting seeing how each of them interpreted the questions. I learned that you can't force answers out of people, and if they only want to give you short responses, you just have to work with that and make the best out of it.

My BM post and questions.

  • What did you set out to do?
I set out to inform the people of C band Storytelling about a coincidence that I noticed after watching the NFL draft two weeks ago.  I noticed that the inspection of the players and their showcasing was extremely similar to the auction block selling of slaves. I felt as though it would prove intriguing and beneficial to enlighten people of this revelation. 

  • How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
My collage allows for me to express my true creativity, while giving the viewers a chance to use their brains. 

  • What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
I hope they understand the infrastructure that is older than our grandparents, yet still in play. I wanted people to see that even though they are being compensated, their treatment is still relatively the same.  

  • What did you gain from doing this work. 
I've gained better confidence for explaining the struggles of my people as we've struggled to maintain relevance in this world. I've also gained a sense of understanding; no matter how hard Blacks try in this country, we will never be considered equal. 

Q4 Benchmark "Origins: Part One"

Chapter 1

“Before I got here, I came from there. A planet far from this one. This planet is lush and green. Such beautiful flora and fauna. A species called “humans” dominate this planet. They have such interesting civilization with governments, economies, religions, and free will. This is far different from my home world. I come from the planet called Dracon. It has deserts, mountains, dangerous creatures… you would think it would be like Earth, but there’s one difference between this place and Dracon. Constant war. All over the planet, war was everywhere. It prevented us Draconians from having a proper civilization. All that ever happened was war. All that was ever discussed was ever. All we were ever taught was war. War was the end for us, and it would seal our fate.”

A battle has commenced in a great desert. Soldiers coming from the mountains, running and screaming onto the desert land. They threw their punches and kicks landed into each other’s faces, and each blow caused quite a boom. The ground rumbled, the mountains shook, and soldiers flew. It was quite the battle. In the end, after the dust cleared, there were soldiers walking off into the sunset, while hundreds lie on the desert floor, beaten and killed. 

“It was one of the deadliest battles in Draconian history. The soldiers of the Federation were badly defeated by the Uprising,” said Mr. Jahn as showed his students an old wall painting of the battle. Every student seemed interested in this fascinating history. Well, everyone except for Dar - Ol. Dar - Ol was an unusual Draconian. The reason for that is because he doesn’t talk about fights or war, he talks about peace on the planet. He says one day, he will save his race. Until that day comes, he has suffer being bullied by his classmates, and receive harsh criticism from his parents about growing up to be a warrior. His thoughts were interrupted as Mr. Jahn continued with his history lesson.

“This marked a crucial point in history for the Federation. They were down many men, and the Uprising could easily attack the capital. In which case, they did.” He stuck his hand out to show another old wall painting.

“The Uprising took the final battle to the capital, where it was a slaughterhouse. The Uprising took it to everyone, killing anyone who got in their way. The men, the women, and the children. It seemed like lost cause. The battle was over before it begun. It looked like the Federation would fall.” continued Mr. Jahn. At this point, Dar was almost completely out of it. He couldn’t pay attention to this lesson. He was about to leave until…

“When suddenly, a hero emerged from the destruction.” This surprisingly caught Dar’s attention.

“A hero,” asked a fellow classmate. 

“Yes, a hero. One with vast incredible power. He defended the capital and everyone within it. The generals of the Uprising were stunned. This one being trumped every soldier in the Uprising. Many reports said he could move like a blur, some said his strength topple even the strongest of us, some even said he jump from side of the city to the other with a single locomotion. Whoever this being was he was unstoppable.” This put Dar in a daydream so deep, he believe that taking the role of the hero.

“What happened in the end,” asked a fellow classmate.

“In the end, the generals themselves challenged this being to fight them. The generals were the best of the best. They were ones who could move fast, jump far, and have the most strength.”

“Was it enough,” asked a classmate in the back of the group.

“It wasn’t even close. Even the generals speed, power, and agility were trumped by this being. They had never seen anything like it. They forced the hero’s hand, and they surrendered. What seemed like a day that the Uprising would win turned into a victory for the Federation, and the government maintained itself from then until now.”

After the little daydream finished, Dar spoke up to ask a question.

“Mr. Jahn, what happened to the hero?”

“Well…” said Mr. Jahn with a long pause. “I don’t know. In fact, no one does. There has never been recorded information about the hero. The generals couldn’t see his face because he moved so fast, and he never came out in public.”

“Someone had to know,” said a classmate. “I mean, there had to have been one person that knew about him.”

“If there were, I’m sure they wouldn’t give away his identity. For all we know, the hero is probably dead,” finished Mr. Jahn.

This sunk Dar’s heart a bit. Some students noticed it, and decided to start making fun of him for it.

“Aww, Dar’s gonna cry now. His hero went croak.”

“That’s probably his granddad.”

“You want to be a hero, wimp? Grow up strong and big like us, not weak and pathetic.”

Luckily, Mr. Jahn heard their little whispers and called them out.

“Gon, Sram, Wel! When we get back to school, all three of you stay for extra training.” This breathed a sigh of relief for Dar. The three of them have picked on him since he came to the school. He’s wanted to take them so badly, but unfortunately, he knows he couldn’t. All three of them were about half a foot taller than him, and had about 20 to 30 pounds on him, and they were very good fighters. No doubt, Dar was actually a great fighter. Trainers have compliment his progress, especially Mr. Jahn, one of the most experienced fighters in the school. However, speed doesn’t always trump power, especially if three of them who have more power than him.

The day continued on in the museum, but all Dar could think about was being the hero, and using that power to save his people. Maybe, get some revenge while he was at it. They board the vessel to return to the school, and when they got back to school, everyone (with exception of Gon, Sram, and Wel) went on home. Dar could’t wait to tell his parents about his day, and the history lesson he learned.

Chapter 2

“… And this guy was a huge legend,” exclaimed Dar to his parents. He was saving the hype for his parents, but sad to say, that hype was wasted when his parents didn’t really show the enthusiasm that he expressed.

“Dar, that’s nice to hear,” said his mom, Kare, with no emotion while doing her chores. His dad, Don, still training in the holo room, didn’t even say one word when Dar was home. This was the basic routine for Dar. He would always come home from school, and see his parents (who were soldiers of the Federation) would be either training or doing chores around the foundation. They never spent too much time with Dar. They expected him to go school, learn to fight, come home and train with them, eventually turning him into a soldier for the Federation. 

“Honey, let’s stop with the silly stories, and show us what you learned today,” said Kare. This caught Dar by surprise. He thought his parents would think this was a big thing he learned, that his parents would be interested.

“It’s not a silly story! It’s amazing! This is something that should be considered an inspiration for soldiers,” exclaimed Dar in confident voice, only to have it short-lived by Don after coming out of the holo-room.

“Please, that old legend? That’s a myth. You said it yourself, that it was used as an inspiration. After the Federation took back the city, they believe that the Uprising started to hallucinate and imagined the so-called super soldier. There was no one in the Federation army that had enhanced abilities, and we would know. During training, we have the trainees under surveillance. It’s protocol,” explained Don.

“Maybe he had to break protocol…,” continued Dar before he interrupted by Don.

“That would be impossible. The holo-room has surveillance cameras, motion sensors, sonar, detection plates, you name it. The reason for that is so the fighter can see how he fights from every angle.” Dar was decimated. 

“Why would the museum lie about the legendary super Draconian,” he asked. “There has to be an explanation.” 

“Well, the only reason I think they would tell about the super Draconian is because of the overwhelming reports of seeing the being. So many from the Uprising and still plenty of reports from the Federation,” Don responded.

Dar’s confidence is at an all time low. He was so excited about the legend, only to be told that it was a myth. 

“Come on, Dar. It’s a myth. It can be true or it is false. Let’s just go training. Show me what fighting techniques you learned, not legends and stories,” said Don with reassurance. Dar walked with Don into the holo-room. He still pondered the myth. He decided to go on, figure out the legend by himself. He still thinks it’s true, and he wasn’t going to stop until he proved that.

Chapter 3

So Dar set out on his long journey to find out about the legendary myth. He went to his friends, and went to the collection halls were they store data of old historical events. Some of the really old and secretive data was kept in the old chamber room. Dar came to the main desk, and there was a young female collector there. She was on the computer processing the data throughout the collection halls. Dar thought she was kind of cute, even though she was way past his league. He knocks on the desk to get her attention, and succeeds. 

“Excuse me, hello. I was wondering if you could give us access to the old chamber.” The female smiled at him. For a moment, it looked like Dar would get a yes easily. However…

“Why would I do that? You’re like 10 years old. Only special people get privileges like that,” she said with such attitude. Dar felt offended. 

“Excuse me,” he responded. “But I’m actually 13, and what do you by ‘special’?” 

“Well ‘I’m actually 13’, but by special, I mean the staff, business, scientists, teachers, etc. You, young man, are those kind of people.” Dar was really aggravated. He hated how she kept referring to him as little. She was really cocky. So he decided to be cocky right back at her.

“Look, I don’t know what your problem is with me, but I really need to see the old data from the Uprising era. Now you could do that with no problem at all, or I could go your boss and complain that I’ve been given false data, which I’m pretty sure is not beneficial for you at all since you, you know, you run all the data in the halls.” He crossed his arms, and tap his foot on the ground. The collector wanted to say something back, but was actually afraid that Dar would go tell the manager. All collection halls were built the same way, so it was easy where to find the collectors and the manager. So she decided to carefully sneak Dar into the old chamber. 

“Thank you,” he said relieved. 

“You’re welcome,” she said sarcastically, and returned to her desk. Dar went through the data, looking into the old reports of the Uprising era. He needed to look for evidence of legend besides the big city battle. He looked throughout the data. He couldn’t see anything. He spent 4 hours in the chamber, and triple checked all the data. He didn’t find anything. This made him frustrated and sad. He walked out the old chamber, and started walking out the collection hall. He passed the collection desk, and the collector resist to comment.

“Couldn’t find what you wanted to find,” she said with a fake enthusiasm. 

“No. I didn’t. Ok? That a good answer for you? Should put that in your data,” he replied with anger. She jumped a bit from the reaction. He walked out the collection hall and into the night. 

He kept thinking to himself, “How could I’ve been that foolish?” He walked throughout the city towards his foundation when suddenly a black vehicle made a screeching halt in front of him. Two guys stepped out the car and attempt to grab him. Luckily, his training makes him a formidable opponent for these two. He started to do the “duck and knuck” strategy, one his Dad taught him. He would duck under opponents’ strikes and punch them in the pressure point located in the abdomen. It would knock his opponents down in two to three attempts. It seemed like an easy fight, until he realized something. He was a bit sluggish, and noticed why. He was tranquilized. The two lunkheads actually got to him because of the severe decrease in his speed. They knock clubbed him. He fell to ground with a hard thud. He lied there, vision blurry and hearing muffled. The last thing he saw were what seemed like a black militia suit. He heard talking, but he too far out of before he fell unconscious.

 

For this benchmark, I decided to base my story off of a fighter I made for capstone. I thought I would give people a little insight of what my character was before he became a fighter as I will portray him to be in the game. I tried to find a way to incorporate how I could be the role of the protagonist as I wrote my story. It didn't seem hard actually. It was pretty easy, to be honest. Most of the situations in the story are situations we've been in before. You, know, like that mythical legend. It was like how I believe Santa Claus was real for a while only to told that he wasn't real. I don't know what my audience to take from my story. It's only half of it, but a really good half. I think I just want them to be interested in how creative I can be with my writing. What did I gain from my work? The fact that I did a damn fine.

Session #2

Group Members Present: Jalen S. Robbie M. Sarybel M. Rose K.


What your book club discussed:

This session we talked about chapters 4,5&6

How you discussed it:

In the last session we realized how important it was to right done things that stuck out to us so that we would have things to distinctly talk about. We also followed the same format as we did previously of talking chapter by chapter so that we could easily follow. This time we also tied in outside articles as examples of what the book had been talking about.

Any points of conflict/disagreement in discussion:

Even though some points that were made were more controversial than last time, there was still overall agreement. We all talked about while creating misleading graphs is clever and all for the business it is tough for the consumers. The point was made that it seems to be worse for it to be made for government than for food or toothpaste advertisements. This point could have been disagreed on but overall everyone was on the same page. 

Questions that came up as a result of the discussion:

At one point Jalen brought up a good questions about whether or not it was ok to change the y-axis on the graph and fabricating statements by adding adjectives was really a situation that no one could pin something on you and have that be ok. 

* We will add the links to the articles once we have them all.

Una elección primaria y también especial

Antes de yo escribo por el nuevo artículo, “Una elección primaria y también especial” en el periódico Ponte Al Dia, yo quiero definir algunos palabras nuevas que yo aprendi despues de leer el artículo, “Una elección primaria y también especial”. La primera palabra importante y nueve esta “votantes”. Votanta es una person que irán a votar en elecciones por la cantidad que los quieren. Cada persona que tiene ochenta años o más y que estan un citizen de los estados unidos puede estar un votante. Y más, yo creo que cada persona que tiene ochenta años o más y que estan un citizen de los estados unidos tiene que votar. Nuestro gobierno necesita personas que irán a votar para tener políticos que la pública se gusta. La elección primaria fue una elección muy importante. Yo pienso que la persona que gana la elección va a trabajar mucho y yo también pienso que todo de la trabaja que el ganador va a hacer fue trabajo muy importante y difícil. Personas en nuestro ciudad tienen creencias diferentes y personas nunca tienen la misma creencia .

Negative space is the empty space around the subject​ of the drawing. It creates the object of the drawing called positive space. In my cut out, the negative space is different in both halves. On the left half, the green is the negative space, and on the right half, the purple is the negative space. In the cut out, the negative space, in each half, creates a half of a house, fence, cloud, and grass. In the drawing, I colored the negative space is in pencil, leaving the positive space to be the color of the paper (white). The negative space created a table containing two stools, and a flower pot on top of it, and a wire hanging above it. It helps an artist to see in negative space because it creates a more accurate and detailed drawing. Negative space is useful when creating art because it helps the art pop out more, because of its accuracy and detail. It makes the image more interesting and pleasing to the eye.  

Negative Space Reflection

A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is the intentional emptiness left in an image 

B. Explain how you found negative space in 
1. your cut out? By looking at the space that surrounded it and by looking at the opposite side of the page. 
2. in your stool drawing. By looking at the surrounding background to see what image the negative space creates. 

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to see negative space because it allows them to freely create two images within one.

D. How is negative space useful in creating art?
Negative space is useful because it allows you to be able to imagine what you thinking the image is by looking at the negative space or surrounding background. For example an image might be one thing by looking at the surrounding background, and when looking at the negative space it may be something different.

Q4 Articulo #6

En la este de China, una niña ha sido diagnosticado con cáncer de pulmón. Ella tiene ochos años y es la  paciente más joven de este enfermedad en China. Los médicos dicen que el enfermedad ocurrido porque los niveles altos de polución en China. La niña esta ingresada en el Hospital Oncológico de Jiangsu en Nankín. Ella esta enfermó porque vive junto a una carretera y en su vida corta ha inhalado tipo de polvo y partículas contaminantes. El tamaño de las partículas hace posible para acumulen en los pulmones e pasen al flujo sanguíneo. Las partículas proviene de las emisiones contaminantes de los vehículos, emisiones industriales, químicas y de centrales térmicas, polvo de obras de construcción y arenas microscópicas.

        En los áreas grandes de China, como las ciudades con millones de habitantes, una espesa neblina envuelve carreteras, calles y edificios que causa enfermedad. Frecuentes episodios de tos seca, irritación de ojos, dificultades para respirar y una pesada fatiga sucedan en consecuencia de la niebla.

        En la capital de China, Beijing, las muertes por cáncer de pulmón han aumentado 56 por ciento. En 2010, la contaminación causada 1.2 millones muertes prematuras en todo el mundo, que incluía 140.000 por cáncer de pulmón.

        Este artículo me entristece porque yo odio la contaminación en los ciudades grandes como Beijing y Filadelfia. El cáncer es una enfermedad horrible y non puedo imaginar tener cáncer a una edad tan joven. Cáncer no es divertido para nadie, especialmente una niña de ochos años. esperemos que en el futuro nosotros encontramos una manera de solucionar el problema de contaminación en las ciudades grandes.

Negative space things

​What is negative space- Negative space is the blank space around the main picture or object

I found the negative space in my cut out by not cutting the black paper and only cutting the red paper, I found the negative space in the stool drawing by only coloring around the object not inside the lines

Negative space makes it easier to see the surroundings of the main image 

negative space is use full because it balances the picture out

Q4 Articulo #5

Este artículo hablando de un avión que casi caímos la semana pasada. A medida que el avión hacía un descenso rápido, el piloto de Southwest Airlines dijo a los pasajeros que la aeronave se caía.


Se dice un pasajero “"Al principio sonaba como si alguien quisiera hablar por el sistema de altavoces. Luego, se escuchó dos veces algo que parecían disparos en el fondo.”


Otra pasajera, Shelley Wills, dijo “Dijo, 'Vamos a caer'. Y todos miraban alrededor y se preguntaban, '¿Esto es un chiste? ¿Es esto en serio?' Y luego caímos en picada".


Despues de este, el piloto se dice “Estamos en problemas; nos caemos.” Cuando el capitán comunicaba su plan a los auxiliares de vuelo, sin darse cuenta activó el sistema de altavoces en la cabina. Los pasajeros no eran supone que oír “Estamos en problemas; nos caemos.” Un poco de después, el avión hicimos un aterrizaje de emergencia en el aeropuerto de Raleigh, Norte Carolina.


El problema se resolvió, así el avión no caímos. Sin embargo, los pasajeros tenían miedo. Esta eran un accidente grande.


En mi opnión, Southwest Airlines que necesitan para decir que lo siento de todos los gentes en  el avión la semana pasada. Es muy importante .Southwest Airlines que necesitan para decir que lo siento de todos los gentes en  el avión la semana pasada.


Yo tengo simpatico sentimientos para los pasajeros en el avión que casi caímos la semana pasada. Sin embargo, yo pienso que el piloto dijo que ““Estamos en problemas; nos caemos” accidentalmente, y lo siente.


Q4 Articulo #4

Este artículo hablando de icebergs en Antártida. En Julio, un muy grande iceberg se desprendió de un glaciar. Es possible esto le crea problemas para las rutas marítimas. ¡Se estima que el gran bloque de hielo tenga un área de alrededor de 700 kilómetros cuadrados!


Dijo Robert Marsh, científico de la Universidad de Southampton en Inglaterra, en un comunicado de prensa esta semana, “Un iceberg de ese tamaño podría sobrevivir por un año o más y podría dirigirse hacia el norte en ese tiempo y terminar cerca de rutas marítimas en el Océano Austra.”

Los investigadores dicen el final del invierno antártico ha derretido algo de ese hielo marítimo y le ha dado al iceberg una ruta hacia el mar abierto.


La separación del gran iceberg ha sido un proceso extenso. La grieta que la produjo fue detectada en octubre de 2011. Los investigadores dicen que será la primera vez que se rastrea el recorrido de un iceberg tan grande, algo que cobra cada vez más importancia en tanto aumentan los efectos del calentamiento global.


En mi opinión, este es un muy serio topica. Este probleme necessito attención de ientíficos, investigadores, politicions, todos los gentes que se preocupan de el mundo. Calentamiento global neccessito un soluccion, rapido. Nosotros no poder continuamos como este.  Nosotros necessitamos prestar atención de este problema. Es muy importante para nosotros, nuestras niños, y nuestras niños niños.


Yo piesno que un muy grande iceberg tenga un área de alrededor de 700 kilómetros cuadrados se desprendió de un glaciar es loco.
