The first thing I did was I wrote a persuasive  to my parents. Then I asked questions at home but I didn't use my questions that I wrote.

What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think that he is telling the truth. That he loses sleep because of his students at school. He is the teacher of the school and his students are honest with him but he isn't always honest with them. He is telling the truth. That his students are making him lose sleep. The main event is that that you take charge for your own fear and doubt in order to make something happen.

1.What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).

My stop motion animation was about Squidward making his way through Bikini Bottom in Spongebob life. One of the reasons that I chose it was because it was easy. The other reason was because I needed something to do cause It was Friday morning and I hadn't decided what I was going to do yet, so I woke up at 5:30 that morning just to do it.

2.If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mind blowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.

I would probably rate mine a 6 or 7 out of ten because the not all of the pictures weren't taken perfectly still cause I was exhausted that morning. Considering that I took the photos at 5:30

3.In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.

I would have better lighting and way better time management because when I took these photos it was at 5:30 in the morning and it was pretty darn dark outside. So I used the lights in my living room. I couldn't stand still when taking these photos either. I would have had my mom or dad take them but they were wanting to sleep.

4.Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 

 I had a character from Spongebob going through Bikini Bottom exploring Life. Plus I decided to actually set up the entire board which took about 5-10 minutes.

5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.
I think that I deserve at least a B+ or B-, because I used the effort that I had at 5:30 in the morning to get up and take these photos to get up that early.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

I didn't really do much this weekend except play on my XBOX and help my dad plant a new flower that him and my mom got over the weekend. My dad was spraying the weed killer around the yard while I was digging the hole for the plant. He said that it had to be at least two times around and two times deeper than the plant actually is. But I stumbled across a problem. I encountered a huge rock while digging the whole. My dad had some trouble getting rock out and I don't even know if he got the rock out.

Tell me ALL about what your idea is for your stop-motion animation. I need detail. Who is going to help you take photos? What props do you need? Where do you plan on shooting? EXPLAIN everything.

I am going to do something with an app called 1010. It is kinda like Tetris but its not. The objective is to place different shapes onto a board without running out of space on the board. For instance if you were to get the 3x3 square and you didn't have any where to put it, the game would end. So I am going to do something like that. I will be placing the shapes in the game on a black back round and as I complete a row, that row will disappear.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

Me, my mom and my two brothers were planning on going to Dodge City but we me and my brothers got the stomach flu. My mom took a wrong turn in Emporia and we ended up heading to Witchita. My mom turned us around and when we got back to Emporia one of my brothers threw up. So my mom called my dad and my grandma asking us what she should do, and they both told her to just go home if we weren't feeling good.

What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it.

What I love most about this time of year is that it starts to warm up after it was really cold. I also love that I am able to go outside a lot more than I was able to before in the cold. I am able to see my family a lot more cause they didn't like to get out of the house and go into the cold an neither did my parents. I'm able to go on more vacations because its warmer outside than it was before.

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

Yes I completed the scavenger hunt over the weekend. I had a little helper to. My four year brother asked me if he could help me with my homework. I thought about it and I decided that he could help me out. I took about two or three pictures at school, then I took the rest of my pictures at my house over the weekend. My favorite is when I told my little brother to help start laughing. For the canted picture of something laughing. I told him to start laughing and he did so. He made these funny faces that made me chuckle. I just decided to take a picture so I could have him stop.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest? 

I know a little bit about photography. I don't know very much though. I take photos every once in a while. I take photos on my phone. No I just take them and sometimes I'll edit them to help make them better on my computer at my house. I take the main the thing about the picture, so what I was trying to take a picture of and I will make it show out more than the rest of the picture. Last year in eighth grade towards the end of the year in my computers class we started to use Adobe Photo Shop. I somewhat like photography but its not my favorite thing to do.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break.

My Spring Break was pretty darn boring. Except when my grandparents came up from Dodge City. My cousin invited me to spend the night at his house on Saturday so I could just go to his baseball game on Sunday. They lost 4-6. Then my uncle just took me home after his game but first we had lunch at Hardy's. I had a Cheeseburger with Fries. It was delicious.

Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.)

I have learned a lot of things. One of which is that I didn't know that there were so many Hate Groups still out there. I also learned some of the more famous Hate Groups. Another thing is that at one point Kansas had five active Hate Groups. But there are only a couple right now.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

I am not going to be doing anything this Spring Break. I'm just going to be sitting around my house hanging out with my family. Going outside to play basketball with my brother and my dad. That is about all I am doing this Spring Break. I might have dinner with my grandparents in they come home this month because they are currently out of town. I also might have dinner with my cousins.

March 9, 2015

Tell me about your weekend.

Since it was a good weekend with very nice weather I played outside most of the weekend. Otherwise I did pretty much nothing over the weekend except play on my phone, watch T.V. and play outside.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

First I would have donuts at the front door for the kids every Friday. I would put in a donuts booth. I would make it so it feels like everyone is welcome. So every one is friends and a nice family friendly community. Lastly I would fix the WiFi.

List out 10 pieces of advice you would give someone on how to create an amazing presentation.

1. Have Transitions- Instead of having the text show up 

2. Have Animations- Instead of just having the slides change instantly 

3. Have Pictures- To show the reader what it was like or what it is

4. Good Information- Information that is CREDIBLE

5. Don't have a boring back round- Have something that fits your topic

6. Leave Citations- Give credit the author of the information that you got it from

7. Don't Take Pictures That Aren't Yours- Leave citations of the author or who ever took the photograph

8. Have Colorful Text- Instead of just having white or black text, make it more colorful to fit whatever back round you are using

9. Make Sure That The Information Isn't Fake- Taking something that is fake and putting it in your presentation is just giving the people the wrong information, make sure that it is from a trust worthy website

10. Include Statistics If Possible- Give the readers some statistics about the topic. Show them how much it occurs.

March 2, 2015

Tell me about your weekend.

On Friday I invited my cousin over to my house for a while just to hang out. We didn't really do much. Then on Saturday and Sunday I really didn't do much of anything because of the snow. My weekend this week was kinda boring.

2. That the infographic is better with pictures and statistics

5. That it is going over one simple topic that people can understand

February 23, 2015

Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos!

On Saturday I really didn't do anything beside watch my four year old brother run around. But Sunday night me, my two brothers and my mom went over to my cousins house to celebrate his birthday which was Saturday. My four year old brother fell asleep and he was a grouch when we were trying to go. But when we were leaving he didn't want to leave. He wanted to spend the night which made me laugh. When the cake was being served he started jumping up and down doing these crazy, funny things that made everybody there laugh. That's what I did during my weekend.

The perfect curriculum, the perfect set of classes to prepare me for the life that I want to live are math, biology and ELA. I would study bio., Zoology, and Field Biology. I would spend my class time paying attention to what the teacher has to say and I would try to complete my work when he/she gives us the free time to do so. I don't know exactly how different they would be but I would hope that they are pretty similar.

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective?

I think that this cartoon is trying to say that, that is the reason why kids in China and kids in India are are so good at math and science. They read books about it 24/7. I somewhat disagree with this cartoon because there are people in the USA that are really smart. My perspective is that this cartoon is saying that people in USA mess around more, which I guess is somewhat true. An adults/teachers perspective about this cartoon might be that they agree with this cartoon. That kids in the USA normally slack off. That they don't try as hard as the other two countries, China and India.

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?



I think that it means that you focus harder and do less. When I play basketball outside with my dad I focus as much as I can on the basket and the ball. I still do a lot when I have to make an effort to make the shot or to get the rebound or to block it. This could apply to my school work by focusing harder in class while getting less home work. I somewhat think that I could get more out of it. Yes I think that it could work for me. I get most of my homework done in school anyways. I focus a lot in and out of school. But if I got the chance to get less homework but I had to focus harder during class I would except that offering.

February 9, 2015

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.

I really didn't do much on Saturday except I went to Old Navy to buy jeans. Most of the time though I played XBOX or I was outside. On Sunday I played on my XBOX, played basketball outside. But when it was night time my family and I over to my grandparents house for dinner.

You haven't had a chance to tell me about your Sweetheart weekend yet - tell me about it now! Include photos if you have them. Even if you just laid around on the couch and watched Netflix, tell me all about it.

During my Sweetheart weekend I just stayed at home and babysat my four year old brother, while my parents were at the store. While my parents were gone there was something wrong with my XBOX 360. Which I did fix it. I also watched the Super Bowl. I tried to shoot baskets in my front yard but my net was frozen and my ball couldn't go "swoosh". So I had to hit the ball out from below the basket. But when I shot it and I went to get the ball out I apparently hit my middle finger against the frozen metal rim. Then I went inside without even realizing that my finger was bleeding. My four year old brother was upstairs playing with action figures in my room and I was told to go see what he was doing. I got in my bed and watched him. Then when I looked down I noticed that a spot on my bed had turned red. Then I looked at my finger and saw it bleeding.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"? EXPLAIN.

Email is something that allows others to communicate others to talk to each other through the web. I use email when I don't get an assignment finished for a certain class or just to chat with friends. Some reasons that people may use email is to come up with an idea. To talk to someone that you haven't seen in a long while. People use email through the internet mostly.

Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...." (explain)

10 years from now I will be living in an apartment with some friends after we graduated college. Hopefully in Kansas. My future job is to be a veterinarian, so I hope that will be the job I have in the future.

Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.

The people who are against hate crimes are good. But the people who are for them need help. A hate crime in my mind is discrimination. I don't think that it is right. That the people that are for hate crimes are wrong and that they should stop. Like back in 1930's blacks and whites. The people in the South were for hate crimes while the people in the North were against it.

The people that were against it were the good guys. They are normal peaceful human being. Those people care for others while the ones against it don't. The people against hate crimes enjoy being around people of all kinds. They don't care who or what they are.

Hate Crimes

Once you have selected an issue, create a new blog post and answer the following questions:

Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue?

What do you want to know about this issue?

Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.

I know that if a white man were to kill a black man that would be a hate crime or the other way around. If someone were to kill a Jewish man that would be considered a hate crime.

I want to know why people commit hate crimes. Why its a thing and why people do it. Why hate crimes became a thing. Why people do it. 

I chose this issue because I think that all people are equal. But some don't when they commit a hate crime. This issue has not effected my life. Yes I am very passionate about this issue because I have never understood why people committed Hate Crimes.

Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

You wanted us to do this because most PSA's don't have bullet points. You want us to do something that we normally don't do in Google Slides. I think that you asked us to do that because you are wanting to teach us.

PSA (Public Service Announcement)

January 23, 2015

Kids these days are so dang annoying. They are so loud. Always wanting to play in the front yard instead of their own yards. Wanting others to do things for them instead of doing it themselves. They need to learn how to be respectful and learn how to do things themselves.

January 22, 2015

What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail.

A public service announcement is an announcement about a certain topic. PSA's go over a important topic, for ex. Drinking and Driving, Smoking, Alcoholism etc. What makes a good PSA is that their is enough information telling someone about the topic and about how dangerous the topic really is. You can get someones attention by providing them with enough information about the topic and with providing pictures over the topic. My PSA idea is over Cyber bullying. Through electronics of course. Reason being cyber bullying is a serious topic. The amount of kids that get depressed after someone else or even a friend send them a mean, threatening message over the phone, computer etc.

Tell me all about your 3 day weekend. Share photos!
I didn't do much during the three day weekend. But on Monday I went over to my grandparents house because both of my parents had to work in the morning and honestly I don't think that I can watch over a sixth grader and a four year old. I can do them apart but not together. Reason being Ethan always teases Mason. So we went down to my grandparents house from about 9 A.M until about 3 P.M. We were supposed to stay there until about five o'clock until my mom got off of work but she requested to get off at two instead.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I like BVHS so far. I think that it is pretty cool. I am not involved in any clubs this year. My favorite class is math and my favorite teacher is either Mrs. Lerner or Mrs. Julian. I am in my first year of high school at BVHS.

Who Am I?

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

I like this class so far. I think that it is easy. I have learned how to code. I would like to learn more coding. Reason being, working with computers is one of my dream jobs in the future. I like to work with computers.

January 12, 2015

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.

I had dinner at my grandparents house and then me and my brother had breakfast over at my grandparents house. My grandma made her pancakes. They are the best pancakes that I have ever had. That night I watched the North Carolina Panthers V Seattle Seahawks. Then on Sunday when I was upstairs doing my homework my mom came in turned on the T.V. and one of my favorite movies was on. Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I like the end of the first paragraph and the second paragraph. It makes me feel like I should start doing things on my own. I somewhat agree with this. I somewhat agree with this because if your parents weren't fun then you wouldn't be that good of a parent because you would've had no fun in your life and you might not have any fun in your kids life or when your a adult you might not want any fun. I get that we need to start learning how to do things our self but we wouldn't know how to do most of this stuff without our parents to help us and teach us.
