This blog post was inspiring. With cheer, work and honors classes, for me life can be hard at times. Especially this year. To be completely honest sometimes I have given up because I don't want to learn anymore. As a student, I need to keep pushing. In this article, I learned that its not just the material you are learning in school, its your ability to keep pushing and persevere. I believe the teacher is concerned about how the students are giving up. They are giving up by not taking opportunities, taking the easy was out and being rude and disrespectful. When students are doing this, it is not preparing them for the future and it can destroy your happiness. So, its not just the math problems and writing that your get from school, its how you learn and persevere.

Blog Post of the Day:
Reflect on your stop-motion animation project. How did it go? What worked? What didn't work? If you're not finished - why? If you are finished go in to detail about the project and what you learned. Give as much detail and information as possible.

My project didn't turn out as well as i would have hoped although its not bad. The project in itself worked. I took the pictures in my room and the pictures ended up with really weird lighting. The idea of a stop motion with the crayons worked though. I am finished. When i first started the project, I grouped the shades of colors so when I placed them on the board they looked like a rainbow. I learned that by taking pictures of the same thing and adding to it can create a really cool video. I want to make another stop motion with a different subject. I think they are so cool :)

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE?

Well, at first I was going to do a stop motion animation related to cheer. But, then I realized that it would be way too hard. So, I explored some other stop motion videos and I thought of something. For my stop motion I am using crayons. I am gluing them onto a canvas or some sort and I am making a design out of it. Then, I am going to melt them and that is my idea. I have not started taking photos. I am getting the supplies after school today. I also need to take all of the photos I have off of my phone because I ran out of storage. My plan is to finish all of this before Monday.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
This is a process that makes stationary objects look like they are moving. These are created by taking an object like a figure of some sort and then taking pictures of it in a path that makes it look as it is moving. You can take thousands of pictures and put them together and it can make it look like your object is traveling.

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?

I don't know much about a storyboard. I believe it is taking pictures and putting them together however I am unsure. I think they are used to tell a story without words. I believe in order to make one you just put all of the pics together.
