Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.

I would have made it a little longer with more pictures. I would have managed my time better by doing it over time and not rushing it. I could have made a better idea but i thought that making my bed would be the easiest to tell what the story was so people could understand it. I would change the lighting and how long it was also i would have added more steps to this project.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

The experience took a long time. It was fun but it was difficult to be patient and take your time setting up the props. If i could change it again i would take more pictures and move the objects more slowly because i think that i moved some of the objects to far. I would move the object a little more sometimes than i usually did and i don't know how it will affect my whole video.

For my stop motion animation I am going to make my bed but where it looks like it is making itself. It is creative because it looks like the objects are moving by itself so it looks unreal. I am going to execute it by setting up the tripod in my room with my phone camera on. I will set up the objects every shot while my mother takes the pictures to make it go faster and more efficiently.

I think it would be life classes and financial classes. They need to show us how we should use our money and how to act in everyday life. We would study a thing that that person want to do with their life. Not have to study stuff that does not matter. We would study just like another class and our class would be learning. They would be more hands on and more fun.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

I do agree i think teachers should focus more on teaching than what someone is wearing.

Its not like what the girls are wearing are going to not make the males not focus it is just what some of them like to wear.

What is an infographic? If you don't know, go look it up. Read about it and then in your own words tell me what an infographic is. What do infographics do? How do they work? What makes a really good infographic?

They are a visual picture of data or stats. They help prove patterns and trends. They can help people understand stats better and grab their attention better. Colors and good facts make a good infograph. The reason for that is because people are more interested in the infograph and will pay  more attention to it.

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"? 

I only use email when I sign up for stuff and fantasy football. Many businesses use email a lot. Without email for businesses they wouldn't be able to send messages to all their customers or employees. I think email is going down for young kids but for businesses it is still very important. I know in email it is very important to have good grammar so you look educated to the people you are talking to.
