kaitlyn rose sidewalk chalk

When we first got into our group, it took everyone a little bit of time to figure out what symbols we would want to use. For me, I already knew that I could use a dance shoe since I am a dancer, but I wanted to use something a little bit different. By the end of class that first day I had a few options that I liked a lot, a horseshoe for good luck and a red rose for hope, balance, and promise were a couple of them.  I was thinking that good luck is always something that everyone wants, which is why I chose the horseshoe. For the rose I knew that different colors had different meanings and I came to the conclusion that the meaning of a red rose fit what I wanted the best, especially since it symbolized hope.

On the second day of this project my group finally started to combine our ideas into one symbol. It took many, many sketches but we finally found one symbol that we liked. The outside part of our symbol that tied everything together was a basket, our idea was to put all of our symbols inside of the basket, like the basket was almost holding all these items. My symbol that I chose to put in the basket was the red rose, that one was my favorite symbol out of all my options. Other symbols that were in the basket were a design with a special meaning to that person, a spider, and a acorn. This part was challenging but by the end I am glad that we came up with a design that everyone liked.

When we went out into the courtyard I don't think that my group realized that when you draw with chalk it is a little bit harder to be more detailed. I think that our end product could have  maybe looked a little better just by using up more space in the basket. We also had some people changed their symbols, but other than that I think it turned out good! I feel like my group did a good job of collaborating with each other but we would have had a better end result if we could have stayed on task more and been more focused. That is what i will definitely do differently in my next activity. Overall i really enjoyed this project!

quarter 4 final project

Our Project For our final project, the teachers gave us teams of four or five, and assigned us with the task of creating a product. This may sound easy now but trust me, it was pretty difficult and had many different components to the whole project. Not only did we have to brainstorm ideas to make the product, but after we decided on the idea of making a hair growing shampoo called Ulu Lae , we had to make sure that our product would sell. We created advertisements, animations, logos, graphic designs, commercials, and even a website so we could really show off our product to the buyers. After all of this was created, we then had to present our ideas in front of the e9 teachers and anyone else in their classes, sort of like an episode of shark tank. This project had to be very thought out, and took mainly the whole fourth quarter to create, with rotations from the e9 teachers classes around every two weeks. Many people saw the more put together side ...

AB Sequence Video For this this project, the main task was to make another video, but this video had different requirements then our first assignment. For this video, we had a one minute time limit, and it was all about the sequence of the video and getting from spot A to spot B. We also decided teams in a different way, instead of having two people in a group, we had four team members and each one had a different task. Personally I was the person that filmed the video, which I enjoyed doing. Overall, everyone got along in our group very well, and we all collaborated and gave each other advice, which helped the whole filming process go a lot smoother. When our groups were decided, it took a little bit of time to map out and plan exactly what we wanted to do. After a few minutes we came up with the idea that since our group had two dancers in it, that the actor could go from the classroom, around the school, and eventually ending up in the flex theater where the two group memb...
