Self-reflection

To create our comic, we went through many steps before having it perfectly done. First, we chose the most important dialogues and cut the most important lines or phrases. After having the dialogues done, we wrote them in comic life in separate pages, which were different scences. After having all organized in comic life, we took the pictures. The pictures were based on the most important scenes of the entire act. When we finished with the pictures, we uploaded them in the computer and started to organize them depending on what dialogues said. Then we double check every thing, did corrections, and submited. I did like the project, it was something fun to do; however we worked really hard to make it look perfect. The most difficult part was working with my teammates. We had a lot of arguing and disagreements which made the work a little bit hard. However, the comic we did was good, though I don't think it's that good to be available for sign-out. It was totaly something fun and stressful project to do, but I'm really happy with the final draft.


I do agree with the fact that comics are not a way to learn about serious literature. The reason is because comics are mostly "fun", short, and not well explained. many people make the comics as something fun or as a joke towards a novel, movie or play. This makes the literature or whichever thing less important. Also when they make them short, they take away some of the magic and submit many parts. They try to put only the most important parts, though they miss a lot information and sometimes they are not understandable as in a text book. Comics are better to have a good time not to study or learn about something big. However they can make it a little bit entertaining. Even though I'm a little bit lazy, I prefer to learn more complete and good information than incomplete and bad information. Literature can be fun but we have to understand that it's something serious in some way.

One Day With Friends :)

My video was about a day with friends. I tried to show people with pictures how fun a day with your bestfriends and friends is. All the things you can do and create in just a few hours. My song was One Love from Bob Marley. I chose it because friends are like family, and they are part of your heart, of your life. I thought it would be nice to put a song that represents that love between your friends, and well, as the song says, "one love, one heart, let's get together and be all right". That's what true friends do, stay together forever and ever no matter what. Honestly, I'm very happy with the work I did and I wouldn't change any thing from the video. I think that all the pictures and the song fits very well and the video can't be more perfect ;)

Video Reflection

The video we saw in class was awsome! I really liked it. It talks about a day in the world. It has images from all over the world, images that are some impressing, but most of them familiar. Waht the message probably be is that many things can happen every day, 24/7. It is very impressing how in everywhere there are billions of people working, and doing the same thing daily. They go to the same places every day, they do the same thing every day, they do the same routine every day.

The images that most cause impact on me were the little boy with clutches, the thunder, the bomb exploting. They are pretty strong images that I didnt event thought of before. I never imagine seeing a little boy without a leg. That's so sad :s and really made me feel thankful of what I have, and of never complain because of innecesary and stud stuff. There are so many poeple out ther that doesn't even have a quarter of what I do and live happily without complaining.

(My moms car)

In yesterday´s class we learned hoew to calculate how many gas our cars spends only by going to school and back, and how much money our parent's waste. My mom's car uses 329.3L of gas per year only by coming to school. If that number is multiplyed by two (which means going back from school to my house), the answer will be 658.6L of gas. This is a lot. My dad's car in comparation of my mom's, uses more gas becuase of the size and the brand of car. He uses 431.05L of gas per year, and multipyed by two is 862.1L of gas. Obviously my mom's car, which is smaller, uses less gas than my dad's. Though, unfortunately my mom uses her car everyday a lot. She has many things to do and is all around the city, and that causes the use of more gas, spend of money, and more pollution.

Tours

Feris: I really liked Feri's tour. She did really interesting things, for example she went to Boston, and then came back to Vallarta. She could had probably creat her imaginary vacations so she could have add more things.
Pao: Paola's tour was simple as mine. She didn't do anything except for being here in Vallarta and Guadalajara for a couple of days. Paola could have done it larger becasue it was pretty short.
Laura: Laura's tour was amazing! it totaly seems that she had an amazing vacations! she visited a lot of places like Leon, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and many more. I don't think there's something she could improve. I like it very much :)
Me: I didn't have many places to put. I think I could have done it better by adding more interesting places. Though, my vacations weren't that interesting. I went to the same places everyday and didn't do that much because of summer school.

JOY!

J
Well, lately I have been having a lot of fun with my friends. Also, I might be going to Guadalajara next year to live so I have to see what school I am going to go and stuff. I am planning to still go to Guadalajara often because I really like it there. Still, I also like it here because I have been here for a long time now and I have great friends. One thing is that I am going to miss them a lot. Still, this is another step in my life and it is something we all have to deal with. Maybe moving to Guadalajara will be best for me, maybe not. My mom and I have been talking about this changes often and we are both are agreeing with many things. I also enjoy having a time with my mom.

Something I would like to do for myself is to accept the problems I face and get over them. People will always be in front of many problems, and the sad thing is that many people don’t know how to get over them, either. There will always be one time in your life, maybe even more than once, that you will find yourself with no one around to talk with. A time when you need a hug, but the only one there with you will be your shadow. Being happy and positive will make those days look brighter. A friend once told me that the best solution for depression is laughter and happiness. To be happy you have to sacrifice. For example, I want to get good grades this year, but to be able to achieve that I have to sacrifice time and pay more attention in class and more time doing homework.

Something that makes me special is that I am a very good friend and a good person. Whenever a friend needs help I’ll be willing to help them anytime and anywhere. That is a very good part of me because being a good friend and having one is what we all need as humans. Also, I am always smiling because I look at the positive side of everything. Looking at the positive side of things is always important to never give up. Telling yourself that you will give up will MAKE you give up, and that is why you have to say to yourself that you won’t give up and that you will make it to the end. Whenever you fall down, it is important to know that someone will be there to help you get back up. For any friend I have, I will be that person that will help them get back up.

Typing Scores Graphs!




I did improve a lot! These charts show everything! Since the beginning of the year until now. I think that writing faster will help me, depending where I want to work. Though it might help me in college when writting notes and stuff like that. I don't think we need more typing master next year. The majority of the people of school spend most of their time in the computer. This is a good way of practicing(:
