peloponnesian war

Zakaria and I created a video about the Peloponnesian War. We chose to create our video using the app Explain Everything and in the end I’m very happy with the way it turned out.
After Zak returned from California I grouped together with Zak and we started working on our second draft of our project. We tried to keep as many clips as we could from the first draft. After we finished our first draft there wasn’t much improvement and had to get started quickly on our third draft.
After talking about it we decided to completely start over on our third draft which was risky cause we only had three days to do it. Zak and I worked very hard toes three days we had a sleepover since it was the week end. I personally believe are explain everything skills have improved 100x after are third draft our third draft was amazing compared to our first draft.

Machine reflection 

Though our group had a faulty start, and I didn’t think we could make our machine look good or function at all,I was surprised when we eventually came up with a machine that works well and is still aesthetically nice If I could’ve changed something about how we accomplished the task of a metaphor machine, it would be what our focus was. As I saw other groups machines come together I noticed that ours was probably the weakest as far as telling the story of the revolution. I also think that we could’ve scaled things a little differently so it looked better. The final thing I would change is making the same simple things look a little better. For example, scrapping some hot glue of some thing. Cutting off all the screws that were hanging off just little things that would ,make our machine 100 times better.

Seaworld reflection

While making our debate videos , we actually were able to travel to the place where our ethic video was centred around. Our debate group got to go to Sea World in San Diego because our debate was about is it ethical to keep ceatians captivity. Since we were at the scene of seaworld we were able to get some amazing footage and pictures, for example we got to got behind the scenes with some seaworld trainer, it was a amazing experience.
When we were in San Diego, our group worked well to make sure we had everything planned out ahead of time before we went to seaworld we did this so we weren’t all panicked at seaworld . When we finally got to go into seaworld we mad sure we got everything we needed in Sea World because there would be no chance of getting extra footage once we left.
When we got back home to Vancouver and started putting our debate movie together, we realized that we were running low on usable footage. I learnt a very valuable lesson on always collecting more footage than u would ever possibly need because it helps a lot . Although our group worked pretty well together to make sure we had all of the voice overs completed and all the editing done. My first draft of my part was not very good but I worked with mister Hughes to make my part of the movie the best it could be.
Next time I do a video to that scale I will make sure to get multiple revisions to make sure my first draft is even better then they were expecting for a final draft.

Student led conference

This year in flight it was really enjoyable. Like any year it had its ups and downs. In the first term I was really into school and very involved but as school went on my grade got worse and worse until the third term. I believe the third term was by far my best. I feel this because I put by far the most effort that I every have into school work and I really think you could notice. For this blog post I will be showing my strongest evidence of learning and a  skill I’ve improved on the most.

Strongest evidence of learning 

Round heads rap

I believe that is my strongest evidence of learning because round heads rap was the most I was ever engaged into a project. I was highly in gauge because it didn’t really seem like learning it felt like griffin and I just having a good time.
A skill I have most improved on.

Before and After

Blue sky reflection

 Is it possible to build a ping pong table in under 30 day. To develop this question I decided to make a Ping pong table and I need to know the dead line so I put the dead line together with the project. Therefor is it possible to make a ping pong table in under 30 days.
for my blue sky project I decided to make a ping pong table. I decided this because ever since Iwas a little kid I’ve always liked ping pong tables. And just last year my dad said he was going to get us a ping-pong table, he never did.so I decide to make one instead. I knew those and be multiple steps in making the ping-pong table but I was up for the task.The steps ahead of my head war. First: getting the wood, this was probably the easiest up because all you do is run down to a local lumberyard for example rona. Second: you had to paint everything this was definitely the most difficult task is the pain had to be even so the ping-pong table looked stellar. I put multiple coats of paint on the top of the table and multiple coats on the base of the table. The painting was the most difficult part because I’m not a very good painter and I get bored painting really fast, but for the project I knew I was going to have to tuff it out. Third: putting the base on the bottom of the table, for this we put the good side on the floor and the the bad side facing the air and we use industrial glue,to glue the base to the bad side of the board. Overall I am very glad the way the table turned out and I am looking forward to next year
Next time on the blue sky project I wouldn’t do much different the only thing I would do different is to start earlier. I would start earlier because starting later put more pressure on me to finish on time.

American Revolution

This week on her men for machine we, did a lot of thinking we We planned out what had to happen we got a good blueprint and we decide to spray painter whole machine black which turned out very well in the next video you will see

I am very proud of machine overall I think the black looks on the plane. Even though the black looks plain it looks a lot better than it did. I think once we add colour to the machine, by colour I mean the Constitution the pictures and and other things I believe are machine will go to a hole new podium. With colour I feel our machine will be more Exciting.I thought it was at a high at standard before, I feel this because our machine worked 100% and it met before criteria. Now I think that it is a high  above standard. I feel this because we are still meeting the full criteria and a machine still works the only reason I thought it was a high at standard before is because we didn’t paint it. Now since we spray-painted it there was no longer that one missing factor so that is why I believe Are machine is above standard. In the video I’m about to show you you will see are group spray painting our machine hope you enjoy!
