Self Reflection

Talk about the process that you went through to create your comic. What did you like/dislike? Did you find it difficult or easy? Comment on your final product, do you think it deserves to be put in the library available for sign-out?

The last computer/english project was to do a comic book of a specific act on Shakespear's famous play Romeo and Juliet.On my team was Rodrigo and Raul.There were some mis undertandings ancd complicatiosn in the way but we managed to pull it off almost perfectly, and late. We had little time. The mayor problem is taht we don;t have comic life in our mac's or laptops minimizing our chnaces to work on it on the weekend. There are so many things to look for and detils to arrgange during ht eprocess which i think made everyone crazy.There were many things I disliked such as the time it took to upload or change a picture. The computers are very slow and that was one thing that i can;ted to rip my hair out of my head forI liked using Comic Life Delux Edition because it's very creative way of presenting something taht is so complicated as Romeo and Juliet. Also the effects and the way it actually maes simple images look like if they were in a comic. One of my favorite effects was "MARVELOUS". Taking the pictures was relly a lo of fun becuase we had to wear weird clothes and dresses. This roject sure put everyone on their creative side which is something I really love.About this project i'm not really sure it should be in the library because i think it's not a very good quility (talking about mine).Though it really helps to understan better it's not really what you would look for when studying. Proably a little more dedicatiobn and details would make this a good piece for the library.

Comic books are execllent tools to learn from when it comes to complicated themes. The comics make the story resumed and only highlight the important partts. This style is fun to, easy to read and you'll get visual aid as you read along. The serious matters are easier to comprehendr when simplified exteremeley to their most importantsituations. This is exactly why comic books are so easy. They take a big piece and chunck it down. Also in comics you can make amazing things happen whithout them looking weird like it would in a paragraph.Another amazing thing is that you can add dialogue to the characters and make it more interesting than just a normal hyphen and text as they do in the books. Comic books are a fun way to learna bout serious literature.

a day in the bay

Through out the making of this video i though of many themes it could fit in... At the end I decided it was more of a fantasy life by the beach.This theme explains how beautiful it is to live in such aa place where there is that beautiful and mysterious ocean. The theme was decided by hours and many repetitions of the video. The images all seemed to fit into the category of life by the sean rather than paradise, my life, or nature. This theme also makes the video not only revolve around myself but around everyone tat lives here.The importance do the theme is not great because everyone can give the video it's own theme depending on their perception of the images and videos that create this project. There are more images than video. Though throughout the video there are many images that are edited. The shots from the highway and the jungle make this video more like a journey and a voyage in time rather then just images. Probably if I didn't mentioned this it would only look like if it would look to the viewer as random shots to the jungle.This video is to show the beautiful life there is by the sea.

To make this video I used many images and videos. This project was easy because it was about things that we do and things that we like. To accomplish the task i used I movie which is an application of Apple to make videos. It easier than other programs. There is many important details i considered in making the video, like making it interesting and not boring and i hope i met that goal. The song i picked is "If you run" by the Boxer Rebellion this song is one of my favorites and it reminds me of my life here in Vallarta and that's why I picked it. Adding the transitions and the effects was fun because you are changing the normal boring ways of things. I think I might have gone to far on that.I didn';t realize this until i had already uploaded the video but as you may see some videos are very long and that could probably make the video boring. I enjoyed-the making of this project because it made us all try to understand and find things that we like and the put them all together to show what we do.

ONE

The video/trailer is amazing. I find it very intrresting that so many people are putting theiur time in their lifes to gather a bunch of videoas and images of their daily lifes or moments in theit lifes to show it to the whole world. The video is very appealing and it captures your attention really fast bceause it contains so many images with very different purposes and ideas of many thousands of people. The message on the film is about love sharing and unity. Tjhis video is to unity everyone and ina sublime messgae make them realize taht nomatter where you are all over the owrld there is people enjoying life and doing the things that they love, just like you.

The whole video is ver powerful. The part I found really awsome is the man with one leg jumping in some sort of a competition. Also i really liked how each video has it's own energy and it;s own perception of an individual. This video inspires unity and I makes you want to go out and explore the world, talk to people you don't know and do crazy things.This video includes positives and negative things about life. IT has death, soldiers and them they show whales and babies and beauty of nature. This video gives you a lot of things to think about life and how you are not the only one taht is living and that the world doesn't revolve around you, as many might think.

fuel efficency

By reading this infirmation I come to understand taht myc ar uses to much enegy and it should be less because that meanse it need to fuel up more often. I also believe taht the governement doesn;'t let really effective cars come out because they want people to buy fuel so that the econmy increases and tehy get richer. Walking and bike take syou less energy and less time. tehrefore if you really have to get soemwhere you should use a car and if not a bike. The contamination an golbal warming are caused by non efficient cars.I think taht by the time i buy my own car there will be somethuing different that is not fuel and the cars will be more efficient. Also yes we should look at more efficient cars because that way we can save more moeny and energy.

FUEL CARS

My car, TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2009 uses annualy, 516.72 L/100km . This is the amout it uses in the route from my house to the school and back.This amout is greater than my dream car, a AUDI TT COUPE QUATTRO2011, which is 419.37 L/100km annualy.The reason i think the toyota uses more gas is probably because it's size. The Audi is smaller car that has a better engine and a better gas efficiency. This type of car are very expensive but they save you 100 liters, so it saves you a lot of money. I would rather have the Audi because it's better car and it'll be more efficient. I hope cars some day get cheaper and gas more efficient and last longer.The gas efficency is always really important. Though this cars aren;t the most efficient, the have a good fuel efficeny.

Toyota Highlander 2009- 516.72 L/100kM
Audi tt coupe quattro 2011-419.37 L/100km
minicouper S 2011-328.33 L/100km
Jetta TDI-369.85L/100 km

Google Earth

This project has not yet made me happy to be working on it. I personally don;t find (yet) the purpose. Even though I'm open to learn about it i wish it was more accurarte the satelite visiona nd more flowing when it changes locations. Today I had the esxperince to observe my classmates tours. I first looked at Pacos. His was very intresting and the places were unusual. I think to improve he could either make more specific points like the places where he's stayong in every place and things like that. I realized he had descriptions for every place. That was a really good thing because I could undersatnd what he wanted to do. The imgaes , though, took very long to charge and to get moving and load. I think it should be faster and the changes slower. Next project I saw was PP. He ahd like Paco a really good trip. His images were m oved and you could see he moved them with the mouse and not clicking in the links. More description and less stoping and moving around in such weird movements would be way better. Also I think that the image qualitty was really abd evern if you can egt close to the house it loads very slow and it becaomes boaring to look at the projects. The last one I saw was Feris. She did it about her summer it was really cool and it was very detail of every palce she went. She should have added a little more detail and information to complete the assignement way better. Same problem but less notuicable in this one anout the image quality.\

In my project I would add m more detail and notes in th weplaces. The image quality I had was bad but I think I didi pretty good on spoting every place I was at. The image soudl etake less to load. I would re do it? yes. I think the second time i would eb more czrful and because now i know how to not let it look bad I'll avoid those things and improve. I think this prokject was fun but boring as to finding every specific place. I hope my next experience with Google Earth to be better and less strressing.

J O Y

There are many things that we all do everyday that never seem like much until you realize how important they really are. Like me, today I Just went to school to "find my way to the future" as some people say, I think we all could find our way to the future, without going to school.Though I still believe school is very important in the formation of a civilized and well mannered human being.School is an everyday adventure for me . Everyday i learn soemthing new and i am with people that make me laugh .After the 6 hours of continuous learning , I went home, in my way home I was amazed by t he way a simple force of nature can bring us all together . When i say this I'm talking about the bridge. Gravity, water,and age made the bridge fall down and it has made 2 states that are constantly arguing and competing come together to find a solution that will help them both. Another thing that I just did was eating with my family.When I eat with my family and we all share our day and our experiences, it keeps the bond between us that sometimes it feels like it's disappeared.It's an amazing feeling, not only because we're finally eating a good meal after a crazy morning, but because everyone has put their little sand grain to be happy and to come together.

One of the many things I would like to do for my self, would be to learn how to not be afraid of life. There has been many times when I fell fear;wheather it be the ocean , a extreme thing or saying what I really feel. Everyone wants to be treated nice and that's why we most of the time keep our rage and hate secret until one day we take it all out and making things worse. I think we should talk about things when they happen because that the right moment instead of letting thins pas by. I feel like we've been all trying to be nice to everyone all our life and sometimes that's not the right thing to do. I found most people to be afraid of life, afraid of themselves even but that's not the way it should be. I want to be able to have fear for things but have the guts to say, I'll do it.; of course only if it's safe....not like jumping of a bridge that's 45 mts tall.Maybe this direction that Mr Mark gave us was for something to do for ourselves was more for an answer like running more or doing more charity things or things that will help us is other ways but this question made me think of me of who I am. I thinks that we are all capable of running more and all those things so it didn't seem like a real goal because it's actually very easy, and if you want to do something for yourself it should be something that makes you work hard so that when you achieve it you actually feel it was all worth it.

I;m a very special person as well as everyone, but there are many things that make me special like the ones i'll explain next.Being special is being a thinking human being because no one not even twins are the same so we are all special in our own secret and mysterious way. Something that makes me special is the way that I think of things and always try to make it better.Making things look better will give you a broader look of the situation and the ways to fix things, a better way of learning from mistakes.Another thing that makes me very special is being who I am. Maybe this paragraph will seem like I think I am incredible and all that but the truth is that the more things that you accept from your self weather they'll be good or bad the better person you'll be. Going back to the topic , I think I can almost always get what I want, not by doing it the wrong way but by understanding others and trying to find a way in which we both benefit .Another things is that i follow my lead and I like to accept people the way they are. Of course we are not all perfect and I make mistakes but sometimes we all get carried away and forget who we are and finding our way back will makes us MORE SPECIAL!The most important things that make me special is that I don't try to be like others and that I have special friends that make me even more special.

TYPING GRAPHS

The speed graph shows the realtins and the difference between both net and gorss speed. The graph hel us compare the and realize how much I have improved and how much I went up and down in my scores. The graph is a bar (column) graph. The gross is in color blue and it is higher than the net speed (color orange). This graph shows all the results in the year and it help us look for times when my scores werte't as good, or were better.The net speeds are measured and paired up in two columns so that we can see how much we advanced in the year.

The graph I chose for accuracy is a line graph. The graph has the percentage (%) i the Y axis and a numer to see how many times it was done in the X axis. The graph shows ho much i improved.

This year , IN MY OPINION, I actually did adavnced in my typingskills. Now I can almost type really fast and without looking at the keyboard/ I still do some mistakes but I'm sure i'll get past them . I think we shhould really learn yo type faster and that'll help us with school work and other things in luife. Next year typing should vbe included to help us imprve our typing skills and become better writters in computers. Aalso it's not hard andmanybe alittle boringbut if it's actually helping us then it should be included.

MAP SCORES

The graphs are very usefukl but the bar graph is way better than the other because it's clear and compares the other results.





This graph shows clearly the increase and it compares my other results with the newer or older ones. To me thias is the best graph because I can see how much I iomprved and decresed my socres in the past years.

This graph shows more my increase in a more smooth way. it shows them all together and it gives key points to parts wererit has increased or changed. This graph is a good graph but stil the bar graph is best.

This graph shows my increase and decrese as the one above but this one is alittle more presise in the ups and downs in m,y scores. This graph shows a drastic fall and the the increase. At the end of the line it shows an increase that keeps going showing us tjhis is not the last test and the graph will keep on gorwing.

OIL SPILL

The night of April 20 the 2010, off the coast of Louisiana, a Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 workers. The oil spill is expanding into the Louisiana's coasts and the Gulf of Mexico. Experts estimate that this oil spill would be greater then the < charset="utf-8">Exxon Valdez tanker spill off Alaska in 1989.The one who released 11 million gallons and was the worst spill at sea.Louisiana wasn't ready for this and is called in state of emergency. The oil company, asked the government fot help from the naval to stop the oil to invade coastal areas. Some fisherman are being asked for their boats to help the navy to control this terrible man-made mistake. The damages this will cause to the wildlife in that are terrible.Louisiana was recovering from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, some parts of the flora and fauna were rebuilding in the damaged areas. This oil spill will kill many of them and for sure damage the conditions that people in the costs of louisiana live in.The slick is being blowed and carried by currents and now threatening 5 states.

There aren't many solutions yet to this problem but people should start worrying more about it and start acting.The Pentagon sayas that the air force will be spreading chemicals to destroy the slicka and stop it from spreading, some people are concerned that this could cause more damage to the eco-life.The company is suffering two solutions but their solutions will take a long time to be done. One of them is to pipe up all the oil and bring it to the surface, the other is to drill a well to capture the oil and to switch off the release button.There are some orange barriers to keep the oil from expanding into the coastline. This oil spill will kill many oceanic life. OYSTERS, SHRIMPS, LITTLE FISHES, PELICANS, TURTLES, and many more animals will suffere the price of human mistakes. The world now revolves around petroleum and with something like this happening world will face with the loss of the millions of barrels lost in the deep water will be gigantic, the loss of a non-renewable resource that every country in the world is fighting for. This should encourage scientists and inventors to create another source of energy for the future of automobiles.

MAP TESTING

Last week we took MAP Testing from Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) , this test consists of an semestral check on your adavncement in school subjects. You take MATH, LANGUAGE AND READING. This year no one was really motivated or willing to put their best effort in the test. Most kids only did the eenie meenie minie moe . This is not good either for students or teachers. I think they should make more intresting pictures. There should be more color and a wider variety of questions. Many times we ha the same content but with different questions and that was boring. In fact the test was really boring and seemed very slow.The testing is really good when it comes to the system,by that I mean that you go to higher and more difficult quesions if you get right the question beinga sked and if you get it wrong, you stay o tat level or go to an easier one. Some questions were really easy and sometimes it felt liek you weren't getting anywhwere. To me there is really no point of doing it. If kids need help they will get it, we are no longer in primary to be told what we are doing wrong. I think they should do a test like the old SAT which were of filling the little holes beacsue taht one was more intresting because you had a physical test infront of you. I don't like or dislike the tests. I just really would encourage all to make it more graphical, add more color . I dion;t think I did better in my test than last time ebcause this time we all just want to get out school and we don't put mcuh effort in things that don't affect our grades.The MAP test was boring and i ereally would like to change the way they test us .

saving the WORLD prenstations

Today I saw presentations of my fellow clasmates and I relaize there are many things I should change on mine. I realize I should ionclude more pictures and more color to the background. I really like to just use color in the font rather than a pixelled picture in the backround.

Also I realized I should proofread my work and you can ask that to Miss Fenton and she;ll agree. Grammar and spelling weren't bad but they oculd be better. Also I should be more careful in the order of the slides and the effects i use. The timming is also very important because hosrt presentations make it loook not complete and long presentations make it look boring. I feel like i could wiork more in the citations. I resally could use a little more time to revise my project.

Powe POINT

Whenw we were in 5 and 6 grade, we had to do booktalks in powerpoint presentations. One huighe mistake I learned was to not only not exeed information in a slide but to don't use many pictures where there is texte. By doing this the audience only gets distracted by every picture instead of hearing you. Also the pictures can be confusing, disturbing, and vulgar to some people.Inthe PPT I saw, she was giving the summary and used pictures instead of text and when she was don , i was so concentrated in the pictures and teh effects taht I didn't have an idea of what was the whole book about. Imagines let the imagination of people fly away creating their own comparrisons, comedy, and stories. Another DON'T! is to use excesive body language. If you want people to be concentarted in your charts and graphs don't mive your feets arms legs, face, nose, head, because it'll distarct people and make them think about your bervousness and mistakes rather than your information.Also if you don't move at all it becomnes boringa nd looks like you are too nervous and you don't feel confortable doing those things. sO BETTER DON'T DO THAT AND YOU'LL BE A PRO IN PPT'S/

WATER POLLUTION

Water pollution, is more than the death of fish, dolphins,coral reefs, and turtles, it's the end of the world. Some people think that humans could exist even if there wasn't animal meat around. Well that theorie is actually true. Human's physiology is made similar to an animal who's vegetarian. We have,nails to peel off the fruits, long hands to reach odd from trees, we are erected so that we can reach our food also. Our internal organs are not made to process meat.So if we could live without meat, we could live of only fruits and vegetables,grains, and water. But what if we run of water? Nothing in the world can function without water.Fruits grow from trees who depend on a water source, plats from which grains grow use water to grow .Humans need water to grow and have energy. We all know those things but we still let people with money and factories contaminate our only resource that keeps us alive. It's been proven that you can live 40 - 50 days or 5 weeks, you can't live without water for more than 3 days. If water is so important what are we doing to save it?

We use water for almost everything. Drinking, irrigation,shower, cleaning are only a few of it's uses. Humans are aware of this but still they don't belie it. They all think that water is infinite but it isn't and it;s time for them to realize that. Not only humans use water, also animals. Animals need water in order to survive. Fish need water as humans air. Water for fish it's not only their habitat but their ecosystem, their environment and their live is in the water. To keep flowers alive and pretty in our homes we give them enough water for it to survive. IF we don;t give our planet enough water to sustain ecosystems then all the natural balance will be broken nd Earth could not eb longer be maintained "pretty and green".

This is not the first time people realize this. There had been many public campaigns, government advice, and the information about it has been given in school, TV shows, news, work, and homes. Parents always say they want the best for their children and they pay private schools and buy them cloths and travel the world, but they never think that if tehy keep polluting the world all of those things that they've given and taught their kids will be for nothing, because their kids won;t have water from which they can survie. There is people who believe that World War 3 will not be over land, or oil, it will be over water. There's going to be a point in life where water will be a non renewable resource.Some things we all give for granted but water pollution is killing us slowly, a slowly painful death.

Jungles and forests are also in danger of becomes deserts because water has been miss-handed and polluted. Factories' chemical wate flows out into near streams which will become branches of an important river. Every body of water is connected to another one way or another, so if you throw a ball in a river, it an either end up in the ocean on the other side of the world or in a lake near by.Chemicals in the water harm everything, soil for farmers, animals,humans, fauna and flora... everything. The worst of all is that we are all ignoring this problem and letting the other take care of it because we don't have time, but as Postal Service said in the song "Do you realize?" "Time is just an illusion caused by the world spinning around. "If we all took only a minute to make a change, we would ALL be benefited. It takes only one minute to turn off the water in your show while you are washing your haircut takes one minute to turn off the water as you brush your teeth. Even taking 5 mn showers instead of 30 mn showers. Every little effort helps .If you want a change don't wait for the other one, do it your self.

As you can see, water is here now, but it won;t be fot long if we don;t take care of it. Of we keep letting the government not push to the limits laws for water protection then the human race will be extinct in a few centuries or even decades. People have become greedy and selfish. They would do anything that takes to get money and to become rich and famous. People pollutes water and kills entire ecosystem just for money. The Canadian Cree tribe of Indians say "Only when the last tree cut down,the last river poisoned, the last fish is caught,people will realize that we can't eat money."

EARTH DAY VIDEO

Earth day is closer than ever, april 22, my birthday also. This year we made a video in Computer class and we had to take pictures and video for this day. My partner was Fernanda Corzo, we get along pretty well. Our video included many pictures and 2 songs, one poem and a video clip.
Chooosing the pictures was hard because he had to decide if tehy really repsresnt nature's treasures or don;t.Also going out and taking them took a lot of time. Choosing and finding the angle to take the picture was hard to do.Putting together pictures in the video and orgnising and editinfgw was the easy part.The music we selected was absed on the feeling we wanted to express such as joy and sadness. W e choose 5 years time and One of us.The poem we found was really beautiful beacuse it was talking about us being the earth. This project was fun and it opend our eyes to beauty of the world.

SPRING BREAK

This Spring Break was good but not as i expected it.The first week was an easy week for everyone. Heat, cold ocean water, no guests,Until my It was a relaxing week. Diego was gone to Cozumel, Xime had her cousins over, Priscila was with me until wednesday night. I would help my mom cook things. We did cakes, strudles, muffins, cookies, pasta, salads, soufles...Then my aunt and her son came.One night after going to a hotel, Prisci and I went to Pedro Pablo's house to have smores in the mini campfire they've made. We also saw a movie called the 40 year old virgin. We would go to the beach club to a hotelwith my cousin.We also went to la Cruz where my cousins live. I learned to use a trainer kite and we took many pictures of the moon which that night appeared to be orange. We had also lots of fun with the sand.I had lots of fun with my cousin.Going to the Gym was fun too becase Prisci makes me laugh a lot.We would also go to the movies. ( MMCINEMAS). One movie taht I really liked was THE BLIND SIDE with Sandra Bullock.I was also invited to a yacht where we went to Yelapa.We had 2 wave-runners.I fell 2 times I had an amzaing time.

Saturday my other cousins arrived. W e went skating to Sebastian Tron's house to jump on their trampoline. I had fun jumping. We watched Tv and we ate like 45 quesadillas each. After we went home. The next day we went to a Ranch in Ixtapa. It was beautiful. I t has horses, dogs, chicks, roosters, cows,goats, and a pool,and beautiful house with a fountain.Monday more cousins arrived. W e went to the beach club of EL TIGRE in Nuevo. I learn how to use a trainer kite better and i learned how to do MANY MANY LOOPS AND REALLY FAST! (yay me!).That day we watched New Moon with my cousins (because it was a present for me ).TUesday we went to Sayulita. I already knew how to stand up in the board but that, i learned it last year in spring break.While i was "SURFING" a guy came up to me and said " hey you are a really good surfer!" I was really happy to hear that. I taught my cousins how to stand up.That was a FAIL. they are not very habile.We went shopping in Sayulita streets.Wednesday Diego arrived after being away for 14 days. That day i went to the Marietas to snorkel.I loved it. At the end i was sea sick and i wanted to go back. I came home and Diego came to say I, i couldn't believe he was finally back. I really missed him.That night i went out with my cousins to MANDALA. I had an excellent time.Next day we went to LITIBU to a beach house. There we went into the wild sea, palyed soccer( i socered 5 goals to Diego and he only scored me 2.),watched the sunset with my cousins, ate icepops,gansitos,and had a great day.The next day we went to la cruz again. My cousins and i went out to ask for money for the RED CROSS. What an experince!

Saturday all my cousins were gone. That day my aunt from Merida came for Breakfast. After we went to Saku to eat. After Diego picked me up and we went to the movies to watch DATE NIGHT. That movie had me laughing all the time. It was a pretty cool movie. In the night i watched Ice Age with my brothers.Sunday. the Tron's family(whoa re very close friends to mine) invited us to eat. We made "ORGANIC FOOD". It was really good. After eating we had lemon pie. We went jumping on the trampoline.After those days of beong full of guests school would be next.Spring Break was really cool but i think last years were funner maybe beacue i didn;t have a one week full of almost "NOTHING TO DO".I miss my cousins a lot and al the noice and the late nights laughing at nothing, or watching movies.

I wish next year is better.Maybe my cousins come for 2 weeks so we have lots more to do. oR I would also like to go to Mexico City with them. This year, I learned many things, had a lot of family unity going on.In this time of the year is when you rwlaize how much you actually miss your family who live far away.This time i didn't missed my friends like i used to for christmas or summer. This time i enjoyed a different type of company.vacations are awsome but the only bad part is when you have to come back to reality.

20

The color of hunger. Hunger may not have and actual color, but we give "hunger" the ciolor baserd on the emotions and thoughts taht come when Hungry.

To me, hunger is white.White is everything and nothing at the same time. A white room may seem more empty than a black room. Our body is like a house where we store evrythings. there is a room for memories, one for feelings, one for thoughts and one for loneliness, one for physicall exaustment one for food. If the room of food is empty, we become hungry. The color of this room is white. when a white room is lighted there are no different shapes of different refellctions. White, is to be said, the color of life.White is the blending of all colors and is comnsiedered a color.
Light appears colorless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this. The sum of all the colors of light add up to whie. When youa re hungey you feel physically complete but there is something missing.

White is also the color of hunger because there is energy missing even though there is light and yiu look kinda alive you're internally diying. When you eat you'll feel like a rainbow. The food for the examople above is like the weather condition, the light andc energy are there qand when you combine both it forms a rainbow. The only difference is taht a rainvbow is a visual effect of the prisma colors. Even though we can't label hunger with the color white. We can imagine fromt he feelings we get that if we had to give it a color it would be like white. It is also a color that never satisfiys you there is always somthing missing. There s alwyas the contrast with another color with whiite to make you really like and be able to appricite white. Hunger is a horriblw things and must of us ignore it because we son't have to deal with it , but still we have the guts to say ND OWN THINGS. wE SAY WE OWN THE WORLD. we don't own the world. And think about this, we say OUR WORLD. there ishn't a paper that says this is your world. The worst aprt is tht we say is ours bu we are trashing it. W e never takle the time to appriciate it. We never take yhe time to look art hunger, poor people, death, trash, destrcution of life. We and only us are the responsible for this. Also whoite is thwe color of peace. When we are hungryu we are pwacful with the environment becvause when we manage to get food we learbn tio aprriciate every bit of it.

8th Grade RotoBall from mistermark on Vimeo.

The last project we've done is ROTOBALL.My project was about a girl(me) who is playing under the ocean ands suddenly a ball comes in. Then she garbs the ball and she appears in a prairie and the ball turns into a flower . After the flower gorws very tall and disappears. Next, she is wondering where the ball is . Suddenly the ball re-appears and the girl transforms it into a dove and it flys away.To do it it was very easy because irt was our second project in macromedia. The problem was that sometiomes I forgot to do another layer and the symbols wouldn;t work. It was tiering and boring tracing the girl in EVERY little frame. When i was doing it I thought of another idea if I had to do another projext. I guess this timne I would like to make it but with another person. Also it would be really cool to make it that the girl is the one that tramnsforms.The prjects are really cool and i've seen a professional one in TV. Doing thius project was a challenge because you had to make your own idea of what you wanted it to be. Also it was really hard to do every detail of the girl. Sometimes i messed up and had to erease a whole frame. I learned many things thati will the again use later. We should do one but with more people in it. And make it more intwresting. Also this would be a coold projecrt for another project in any othe class. I guess peopel did what they were feeling and teh things they like,. They use the things the ball becamne to as symbols of who they are re or how they arw actually feeling. This project is really interesting and I hope we work on it again.

MY ROTOBALL IDEA

My roto ball idea is pretty simple. The ball will come from the top left corner. It'll be a green ball. When it arrives to the hands the hands will close and they'll tranform the flor into a long tube which will grwo a red flower inthe top. The hands will then again close and the flower will becaome a heart, the ahnds will closde again and it'll become a white bird.and fly off to the right corner. The backround will be a garden full of flowers at first then it'll become somwhere up in the sky.The idea is simple. I guess it'll not b e difficult to make it work. I'll be doing the video thing with Priscila. It seems it'll be a pretty cool project.

Online Relationships -Healthy or Unhealthy?

Have you ever heard of people called doble-faced?It doesn;t mean they have two faces it actually means that they have two different attituted that they use with poeple. For example... Maria always talk nicely to Priscila but then when she talks to Romina about Priscila she's all nice. This could not only be applied to attitud but to internet life.

Here in the normal world you have to be yoursElf. Act like yourself , never do anything bad or unforgettable in a bad way. In the Digital world you can be whoever you want. Actress model,fighter,goth,hippie,neagtive, positive,punk,social freak,shy.....

Havung the advantage to be 2 different people is really bad. This is a show that you are saying, i'm not comfortable with my self SO i need to be someone else that's not really me. People say those other "them" are more how they are and how they feel but really if you can;t be that way in the real world where everything is believable and has almost always a proof then you are lost in your way to happiness. YOu might seem happy and have millions of friends online but they like you for what you post not for what you actually are. If in facebook they talk to you and in school they won;t then they are not your "FRIENDS". Today, many people get confused they think being in someone;s FRIEND List in Facebook is actually being friends..It;s not..Being friends with someone is knowing them perfectly being able to say if they are mad sad or happy without them saying anything.Really those "Friends" in facebook aren;t friends they should be called " PEople i know".People's self esteem can higher up with their digital me but when they come back to reality they are no one important . That is what brings them down and makes them desire more and more become that DIGITAL me who they'll never completely be. This behavior can bring long term self traumas. Making people being depress for not being really perfect as they look in the pictures. Also by watching all the nice comments like You look pretty and then thinking whish they would say me that in person can bring their self-esteem down.Also some short terms is that after sometimes people will find someone new that they'll like better than you. It's like nursery over again. First everyone is exited for the new toy and then they find there is another one better and they forget about that "NEW" toy.This is one of the reasons why people saty online more and more instead of getting out and socilaizing. They always need to be better so that the followers taht comment pictures won;t leave them. there is always a need of self-imporvement. This is gooduntil a certain piont but evry COMPUETER ADDICT has taken this to the limits.

Double lifes seem fun but it take more than to lie of who you are. It take a whole you and the worst is that when you come down to reality that whole you you just gave gives you nothing in exchange but pain and suffering.

Identity Play

Now days whatever we post online is seen by tens, thousands, millions, billions and trillions of people. We might think that only because we say "ONLY FRIENDS CAN SEE THIS" half of the people we don;t know will end up seeing it. Think about this, our friends have friends we don;t know, so if we have a picture of me and Priscila she might show her the picture to her friends in Japan . Then those people can drag our picture to their desktop and BOOM all of our information is shared.Also soemtimes we add someone we don;t knoe maybe theri name is the same. Last week I had a friend request from a girl named Fernanda HERNADEZ. When i was younger my bff in Acapulco our vacation place was Fernanda Hernandez. I had no mutual friends. I accepted her but then i realized by seeing her pictures and all that , that she wasn;t her.I had accepted a total stranger. I realized taht 3 days later so by then she or he or them could have gotten all the information they needed to kidnapp me. This may sound exagerated but it's happened before.There are also certain things you should and certain things you shouldn;t post online. The information that you give if crucial when having an account or using internet. You should never, give your real adress or your city or your home number. Also you should never tell someone you barley know where you live when they ask you your adress. This things can put you and your family in danger.People that see the things you upload are mainly friends or people you know. When you upload something you are trying to show them your recent events .Sometimes the worst thing is that people tagg us in pictures and their friends cans see who you are and where you live. They can also spot you easily in other pictures orin events you could assist. Posting things online is also dangerous because some people for example your friends can also post things up and other people can see where you've been and with who you hag-out and the places you visit frequently.The things we post may be directed for a certain audience such as our friends but we should always be aware of what we post and where we post it.

Social Networking -Keeping in Touch

Today we all use internet to say what we feel. We don;t fear of the response of others or how they are going to think about us. We can say whatever we want whenever we want to. When a conflict comes up online or someone starts arguing about something you can fix it by saying someone else was using your computer or you were "HACKED". This use of internt for expression of emotions is useful in someways but really hurtful in others. By saying useful, i mean that sometimes teens and even adults have something inside them that's really putting them down or getting them angry. When the case comes they videotape all the things they have to shout out to the world and then post it online to see if anyone thinks the same. This helps for people to socialize and solve their problems together with helo of people that has been through those things or is going through those things.It's harmful because sometimes those"things" can be directed to someone in special and they can say some thing that will hurt their feeling sand make them feel depressed. Also by posting thing online people can say all the bad things of a person or things that a person did or didn't;t do. If it;s something they didn;t do and tehy are giving them a lot of trouble to certain people because they didn;t do it then it will cause that person to do it and that could b e something that would turn out in a disaster.People get very influenced by what other think of them and if something about you that is BAD is posted in a public network such as FACEBOOK or Youtube then your social life and social status could be affected.This that happen in Internet are not real most of the time but keep believing them. People might also post things about something because they are scared to tell them in their face. Many people are afraid to see the other person's reaction so they just wait until they get online. Being online and trying to solve a problem is bad and good. It's bad because the people on the other computer doesn't know if you are alone, if you are being serious, if you are talking to 5 more people even is you are who you say you are online.IT's good because some people just can;t take to stand infront of someone and watch them, because the pressure if to high and they say things that weren't ment to be said. In online fights you can say.. BRB(be right back) and think about what's going on and what can you answer and the answers don;t have to be inmediate and you wont hav a person looking at you.Fellings should be expressed whenever you want but you have to think of the consequences of saying certain things and take them or just say what you feel somewhere else.

During a video we saw today a teacher says they are becoming like entretainers. That's totally tru. Now days us, the students, we expect teachers to make their class and thier work fun and to entretain us because if they don't do it then we lose interest in their class and we diustarct others or we start doing our own thing.That is not good for teacxhers becaudse then mostof the students are not paying attention adn so all the things they are saying are being said for nothing because at the end there will be more questions and douts and they'll have to repoeat it for millions of times.Here in school the teachers entreain us by making us watch movies or telling their personal stories. They also try to get in our world to make us do things we like but make us do it for school.They are different from entretainers because we are forced to do those things . Also because they go back to the same boring teaching skills after some time of "entretaining"The possitive things about this is that we become more exited about goiunbg to their class and maybe things bevcome less stresfull and we become more respectful and less hateful.The negative thing is that when they use some of the other teaching skills we demand to be entretain and that could be tierd for a teacher to find different ways of entretain 100 students . Also then teachers and students get carried aways into other topics and the pint of the school subject is lost. Also students won't see the teacher as someone they should be respecting AT ALL TIMES and they will start to joke around and take advamce

COMPUTER AT HOME
Today we use the computer for almost everything. It's use has come all the way that now we can take computers in a asmaller scale and with bigger memory all around(laptops).Computers are very different form book , T.V, magazines and Video Games .Compared to Books that you have to have physically to read a bout them , in the computer you can just look the book up and there are sites when they have the whole thing uploaded and it's alll away form a click ; not having to go to a bookstore or to the librbary.T.V. is most like a computer but the difference is that you can't foward or rewind a movie or a clip and if you are looking for a spocial thing you have to wait and you never know exactly when it'll be transmitted. In computers you look up clips, movies, add,s and extra information from all the things yousaw or you could see ina T.V.Magazines are more complete than a book because they contain mostly information about everything and unlike T.V. you can find the add you need or the photo of someone faster, but magazines come only once a month and sometimes you need more informsaytion about something instanly and the magzine wont provide it until next month. In videogames now they are like a ocmputer , you can go online with your friends and have chat talks with them all. The only problem is that you need ot have XBOX LIFE. or sometihnglike that. Computers now are used so much at home . hOMEOWRK, fUN, ENTRETAINMENT...In houses today the computer is used mostly by Teens and then by younger kids that like to go play. Also it is used by parents for work .In homes there are no longer many desktop computers there are more lap-tops that can be moved around to many many places.The bed the room the kitchen the living room...The computer is use in extremes . Morning day night. This is because you can get the answer you are loking for easily and you find all your frinds logged on and you can talk to them and even see them through a video chat.Computer are everyone's double life.

Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind. ~Mary Ellen Chase

This christmas was the end for a twisted akwerd year. OF all other holidays christmas was the most waited for in the whole world. christmas doesn't only gathers all the families together but it brings a new start to everyone. This year my family decided that like every year we were going to Mexico City with all my family to the traditional dinner. We were going there for one week and then we'll head back to Vallarta to spend New Year here with friends. This is the first year we do this. Other years we had to go the full holiday to Mexico City. It really didn't bothered me until the second week because all myt cousisn were away in their holiday.

So we started our journey one saturday. I think it was the 19 december. We drove through the beautiful highways full of color and beauty. WE drove 9 hours til we got to Mexico City. In Mexico City we visited cousins friends family and almost all the people i've met there when we lived there. So many thoughts went through my head there. I wondered if i ever would go back there. There were pro's and con's but at then end i remebered how much i awaited my returned to what i call now Home.In Mexico we went shopping with my grandma. Other days we would go to the salon to get our hair or nails done. There were many family reunions. In all the thinkintg and the time i spended with my family i realised how much i miss my friends there. i hope i could have kiddnaped them and brought them to Vallarta.Also my mom is really into cultural things so we had to go to the "turibus" . That is a bus that takes you all around mexico city's historic center and things like that.

In Christmas eve we went to my dad's parents house. My dad has 11 brothers and sisters. It's a pretty big family. I love spending time with them. They are all lovong and caring. Every Christmas i help with the cooking. i love to cook specialy with my uncle Ale who makes me laugh of all the funny stuff he sayas about the food. The moost i like of being there is that all the family that live in guadalajara US canada and Europe gets together. We left back to Vallrta the 16. We headed to the small village of San Miguel de Allende. I had so much fun there .It's so colorful and has kept the look of a mexican village in this modern era. S.m.De Allende was really cold. I had to use 2 sweaters and a scarf ans still I was freezing. We slept there and then we went to Tlaquepaque. It's a little town near Guadalajara. I love goingthere there is so much to see. After Thoise wonderful places we headed to Guadalajara to have doiner in my cousins new Restaurant called "LA UVA". = I RECOMENDED SO MUCH IT IS SO GOOD. Nect morning we headed backt o vallarta. I could smell the ocean miles away. I was desprate to get there. When we arrived i felt i could finally breath and relax.

In vallarta i went to the beach to the movies to my friends house. I felt like home i was so glad we dodn't had school becaude i had nothing to worry about no homework to finish before morining. I couldnt stop smiling. The 31 we went to the house of the Tron Family. There we had NYears with Priscila Courtney Sebastian Diego frank Julian MArco Mateo Dani .. I had so much fun and i was so happy to be with all my friends. The girls my age got permission to go to a night club called Cesars. There we met woith Adri and her cousins. I couldn't be happier. I thinbk it was the best of all the New Years ever. Next days i watched movies and movies and more movies and relaxed went to the beach and had fun doing nothing. The last day i had to do all my homework which i was really pissed by because i couldn't belive teachers left us hoemowrk when the Chroistmas Break was to realx ans stop thibking about school and worring. I thibk we already need more vactions . They went so fast but now that i think what i did i feel i 've donde so many things since the last time i walked out of the school door.

This year is new and i feel it's going to be great. Better than last year and than the year before.
