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.

if i could do something differently on my stop motion animation i would choose a different story line. i should have used my time better at the start and should have used better light. also i could have not moved the camera that much and make sure that know one was in the back ground of the pictures.

global issue prezi

this weekend my friends took me duck hunting we killed about 15 ducks with 4 kids. we hunted for about three hours on Saturday and four hours on Sunday. the hunt was a youth hunt which means that you have to be under 16 years old to hunt. we had a lot of fun hunting.

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

the two articles are different on how one is saying how bad it is and the other on one is like there is a time and place where you can dress how u like to dress but no all the time at school. but this changed my mind a little people should be able do dress how they want to dress. but still there is a time and place where you can and cant dress how you want to dress.

 i think the perfect class is  money saving class like it helps you on how to save your money and how to spend it on things you need not want. also i would spend my class time on teaching people how to save there money and how to save it.

Do you enjoy writing? When do you enjoy it? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why do you think the ability to write is so important no matter what kind of writing it is? Give an example that you enjoyed writing or hated writing. Why?

i do not enjoy writing. i do not enjoy it, i don't really like any type of writing but poetry is okay  for me. i also thing writing is important people should know how to write because you need to know how to contact people and know how to research. an example is writing was when i was in 6th  grade and we had to write a story, poem or a riddle every day and i hated it.

if you don't prepare your self right you will fail. you have to prepare you self for a while just like a school final, you have to study and prepare your whole year to do good on the final. but if you don't do good on your test and don't do you homework then you will fail your tests and final.

the importance for research is that we can learn new things they we can study and so we know whats happening out in the world. we need to know how to researcher because if something happens we need to know how to know and find out what happened on the internet. i have learned how to make good projects and how to make quality slideshows in high school. i have had some helpful teachers that explain everything and to teach step by step how to do every thing and i have had some very bad teachers that don't help at all.
