Is Your Future Worth Enough Part 2
As follow up research about budget cuts I was able to find
out the direct effects on sport cuts. The cut will take away 7% of the funding
towards public sports. This will result in a complete cut of middle
school intersolatic sports leagues and teams. It will also cause minor cuts of
some sports in High schools.
But as a student i will like to know how this is directly effecting how students like me will learn and how teachers will teach. For example is the class sizes getting increase to much larger amount? Or will to be something like school will have less resources to text books or computer technology? This is a group of question i hope to research and answer for my next blog entry.

Info-Graph
The thing that went well with my group was the presentation, we where to talk about thing that wasn't in the info graph. Putting it together was hard we didn't know a way to put everything we know on the webpage. Next time i would start putting stuff on the page as i go through the research.
Libby, Montana Asbestos Contamination : Nadif, Newon, Whitney
a. What went well?
Nothing really except that we turned in the project.
b. What did not?
We barely worked with it each I felt completely useless for this project
c. What would you do differently next time?
I would rather we worked together and actually listened to each other.
And as for these,
Be Concise
Be Visual
Be Smarter
Be Transparent
Be Different
Be Accurate
Be Attractive
Be Varied

Be Creative
We were average in all of them except with creativity because our info-graph was nothing but words and pictures.
Final Infographic-Exxon Valdez
a. What went well?
My group really worked well and was very productive during class time and time when we did research on our google doc at home. We also gathered a lot of information in order to complete the project thoroughly.
b. What did not?
After looking at a project with a perfect score I feel like we didn't do well with the visual aspect. We were going to create a picture timeline put we didn't have time because we spent so much time gathering facts an information to incorporate into our final project.
c. What would you do differently next time?
Timeline of images going around the oil spiral
Chart of oil levels
Timeline of what the spill was the size of

Picher, Oklahoma Lead Contamination
a. What went well?
-We, as a group, did our part as individuals. We worked well as a group.
b. What did not?
-We all did not read the directions correctly that resulted us into making the correct infograph.
c. What would you do differently next time?
-Read the directions carefully
d. Specifically comment on the 10 tips for effective infographics -
Be Concise
When you view our infograph, you can easily see the contamination of what the mine has done and process of trying to clean the mine.
Be Visual
There's not too much going on. It's not crowded on our infograph. . Everything is well organized
Be Smarter
You can see the historical population throughout the years and the decreasing of numbers, as well as the a bar graph to visually see the differences.
Be Transparent
We were very transparent when it came down to sources and much more. We did a great job in that category and gave the reader/viewer a chance to explore more into the topic.
Be Different
We have data charts but we weren't as different honestly.
Be Accurate
Our data is accurate as well as our research. We've sited different helpful sources.
Be Attractive
-Falls into visual, we did a good job making it presentable and organization.
Be Varied
Important info. is only needed into the infograph. Easy for viewers to view.
Be Gracious
-We only put the important facts, enough information where our viewers can understand what the lead contamination is is and few images to back up our info.
Be Creative
-creativity falls into visual and we've made it easier for viewers to read rather than paragraphs but important points. As long as attractiveness with the style of how things were set up.
Cuts in the budget 2.0
These cuts are really bad for most students. It means that if your only shot at getting to go to a good college was through a sport, then you need to go to a private school. This is difficult if you do not have the money or if your grades are not good enough to get into the school. Not only will this increase the rate of students that do not further their education by going to college, it will also increase incarceration rates because students will have no way to get a job that would be enough to live on, and will turn to illegal things.
If the incarceration does go up it will also take more and more money away from schools because they will have to pay for the students that are now in jail. This cycle will continue unless they fix this law and prevent these budget cuts to the school districts.

School
Benchmarks and capstones due in less then two weeks. I might otherwise go commando during the graduation ceremony.. I always wondered why people did that but it does fit into my dumb criteria of "funny things to do that surely will get you in trouble."
Final Infographics- Yadi Angeles
a. What went well?
The research and getting everything together.
b. What did not?
Talking about our research and deciding what to drop in terms of information.
c. What would you do differently next time?
I would speak up about the decisions for our infographic, because I feel that we could have done a better job in the visualness.

Which of these areas did you excel in? Which were not so well represented? Why do you think some elements of design were easier or harder to include in the end product?
Some well represented were Transparent, Different, Accurate, and Varied. I feel like creatively we could have done much more and that we didn't add all the information that we could have so that things made more sense.

So much capstone things to do, advertising presentation and the end of the script. Script is almost done but presentation is a whole other project in itself.
The Pacific Gold Rush- Nashby, Ian and Mike
a. What went well?
We worked well together. We did not have ANY problems with getting the information, researching and pulling it all together.
b. What did not?
Nothing.
Which of these areas did you excel in? We were very creative in our way of presenting our project. We had just enough information that in which the audience can understand what happened. It is attractive. and extremely visual.
Which were not so well represented? it was not exactly transparent and although it was visual, the story could have been told better.
Why do you think some elements of design were easier or harder to include in the end product? Setting up the story especially with the government side, because we wanted what was important, but also for it to flow well.

Ian McClendon - The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
What went well?
- The process of gathering the information was really useful because I was learning more about the Garbage Patch and contributing to my info-graphic. Also the art work and creative process went well.
What did not?
-The research slump. Everybody's been there before while researching something. Your brain gets stuck, you don't know what to do next, and valuable time is wasted. The only other problem was finding information that would make the poster flow. Those were only the main problems.
What would you do differently next time?
-I would gather more information, brain storm harder, think of how more creative I could be, and like everyone else, not procrastinate.
I never really referenced the 10 Infographic Tips.

The Love Canal By: Emilisa, Jason, Daniel
What went well?
Things that went well while doing this project was the research about our topic. We found a lot of primary sites with good and useful information. Another thing that went well was the group collaboration. We all shared and read over the information provided by one another.
What did not?
One thing that didn't go well was the creating of our info-graphic. We all got a lot of information and all but the hard part was visually presenting it. We wanted to present it in a way that would tell the story with out saying too much. As you can see we have a dense level of text below. Using the picture in the background did give it a little more spark but the text need to be shorter.
What would you do differently next time?
Next time we will summarize the information a little better. We even present it a different way.

Are You Always Going to Have Authority Over Me?
Here at SLA we learn to be leaders and today I was robbed of that chance. Every Monday and Thursday I give up my X band lunch to student teach freshman drama. This is part of capstone but I would do it even it wasn't. Today Mr. Kay was absent and I had a plan. But this plan went downhill the minute I walked in. Every word that came out of my mouth was undermined by the substitute that was present. Now I understand that the readers of this might be think well she is the adult figure in this classroom and your still a student. And this would be true for small situations; like if I told one person they can get a drink of water and the other that they can use the bathroom and you told them that only one of them can leave the room. I can understand that. But when you undermine my lesson plan you are basically implying that the authority I was given has no value in your eyes. I tell them to practice for their scenes. You tell them after less than two minutes to stop because they were too loud (trust me it's way louder in there before). I call on someone to give a shout-out and you cut them off and start to talk about your trip to the movies. I start to teach them an improv game you cut me off and make up your own scenario for them to do. And on top of all that my name apparently changed to Marissa.
Around the World
Studies have shown that America is within the top 10 fattest Countries in the world. But we're not as high as most people think. At 74% America is the 9th fattest country on the planet. Now of course this isn't the worst, but if you look at it in another way America is the fattest superpower in the World. If compared with China, there is huge difference. Why is that? Is it dieting? What about laws and resources? Here in America any store available has an abundance of food able to make any person become a glut whether they're the regular, vegetarian or vegan. It's worthy of stating that the fattest country in the world (Nauru) isn't number one due to over eating, but from disease. This is an excusable case from saying that these people are a bunch of gluts. Just to point out, the skinniest country in the world is eritrea with on a 4% obesity rate. That may not be the healthiest possible state if that was America.
Love, Blood, Sweat, and Tears! Domestic Violence #2
Me & The World
In the last blog I gave the basic information about domestic violence. I gave a summary about the types of domestic which are emotional violence, physical violence, and sexual violence. Domestic abuse is an epidemic in communities, cities, states, countries, and the world. One of the most un reported crimes in the world. Change sure will come, but this blog is about the numbers and statistics.
One in every four women will experience domestic violence on any type of level in her life times. 1 of every 30 men will experience domestic violence in his lifetime. 85% of the victims are usually women. 1 of every 6 women will be raped, and 1 of every 33 men will be raped. More women get abused sexually and physically abused than men do. Their partner or lover sexually assaults most of the men and women.
Domestic violence is serious and is an eye opener. Even though women are usually the main victims, gentlemen please be aware you can also be a victim. Domestic violence can end your life, give you emotional trauma, and harm you severely. Domestic violence can be anywhere and sometimes people don’t even know when their partners are harming them emotionally. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS FAR FROM A GAME!

As we all have heard before, the ozone is disappearing. What is the ozone? The ozone makes up 90%+ Of the stratosphere. This protective layer filters out harmful UV rays that can potentially kill any living thing. As the ozone disappears, we are have a more likely chance of getting hit by harmful UV rays. But there is hope! After a quick search around the internet, there are reports that state that the ozone is no longer disappearing but actually rebuilding itself. It should be completely back to normal. But it will take a couple of years. This might be around 2078.
Waking up in the morning, I took the time to look out the window and saw trash everywhere. Looking back at my calendar, I slowly realized it wasn't trash day. All the trash outside just fortified my assumption. Littering was the answer for all the trash being everywhere. It wasn't just a piece of paper here or there. It was little mole hills everywhere with all sorts of things. All these little mole hills of trash, decay and make toxins that destroy the Ozone layer.

Maltrato
Infantil
El Bola,
Q4 Proyecto
pruebas compiladas:
moretones
y cicatrices
miedo de
volver a casa
tímido,
no habla mucho sobre la familia
Desaparecidos
de la escuela por una semana
deprimidos,
evitando amigos
se escapo
de casa porque su padre lo azote
confeso a
la policia: insultar, azotar, escupir por el padre
Posibles
preguntas de las autoridades:
¿Como
puede usted estar seguro de estas cicatrices so de su padre?
Son de su padre porque era evidente que él estaba tratando de esconderse
de la gente y finalmente admitió que su padre era abusivo y lo golpeó varias
veces.
¿Es su madre también la culpa?
No tanto como
el padre porque ella no golpeó al joven. Sin embargo, ella no hizonada para
detener la violencia sólo porque ella pensó que haría más daño y, posiblemente,
conseguir hacerle daño también. Toda la situación era peligrosa.
¿Por qué
esperar tanto tiempo para informar a las autoridades de las acciones del padre?
Esperamos
informar a las autoridades ya que fueron instruidos por un consejeroque esperar
hasta que tuviéramos la evidencia real de los abusos y no solo es peculaciones
de los hechos.
¿Qué se debe
hacer con el niño en términos de refugio?
Bueno, ya que
es muy amigo de mi hijo y he llegado a pensar en él como un hijo, Lo llevaré a
mi casa como su tutor legal.
Evidencia / argumento contra el
padre de Pablo:
En primer lugar, El Bola ha sido
un buen amigo de mi hijo desde que comenzó
ir a la escuela igual
que Pablo. Definitivamente tienen una buena relación
y si el niño vivía
con nosotros, su relación podría crecer como
la de hermanos. Además, mi hijo notado muchos
moretones y cicatrices en Pablo cuandoregresamos de
nuestro viaje a las montañas.
Cuando Pablo le faltaba a la
escuela por una semana de clases, mi hijo fue elque trajo esto a
mi atención. Pablo estaba bien antes de
que él desapareció de la escuela y
mi hijo sabía que algo andaba mal. También fue
a guardar el padre del niño para ver qué le
pasaba a Pablo. El hombre estaba claramente mentir
cuando contestó a mis preguntas.
El colmo llegó cuando Pablo llegó corriendo a mi casa hace un par
de noches, llorando de miedo porque su padre acababa
de pegarle. No tenía más remedio que huir de
su hogar y buscar refugio en
mi casa. Estaba cubierto de hematomas y cortes y rogaron
que se quedara en mi casa para pasar la noche. Siento
que él confíe en mí mucho, y yo sería la mejor
opción para ser su tutor legal. Si se envía
a un hogar de crianza
temporal que podría sufrir la misma suerte que él
hizo con su padre.
Autoridades:
Hemos visto en este caso muy bien y
es muy evidente que este chico, Pabloestaba siendo golpeado por su padre. La mayor cantidad de evidencia provienedel
propio niño, porque él nos dijo a todas las cosas
horribles que hizo su padrey le dijo en los últimos años incluyendo insultos y
los golpes / golpearlo. Hemosdecidido colocar José, el
padre de Alfredo en la custodia del niño y el cambio éla
su tutor legal, porque los padres de Pablo no son
aptos para cuidar de un niño. No se sabe qué se
hará con el padre, sino que se llevará a cabo en la
corte muy pronto.
