What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

I am going to my grandparents house this year for thanksgiving. Its a tradition to go to their house. I plan on eating a whole lot of food, maybe taking a nap. This five day weekend will be filled with the watching of football. I do not plan on black Friday shopping because I enjoy my life and don't want to be trampled by a hundred soccer moms. I will not participate in any school related work over the break as that is also a tradition.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself

The only thing about the whole process that was problematic was how tedious it was. It was just hard moving everything a tiny bit and taking one photo. If I could go back I would try and get some help so it would not have taken as long.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

Stop motion animation is where you take an object and take a picture of it then move it and take another one, slowly creating an animation. After you take all of the pictures and then move them in order it looks like a video. An example could be the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I know very little about anything that has to do with photos. I rarely take them and i never edit them. I would like to learn more about them, but I am not that interested in learning a lot about them and I don't think that knowing how to edit photos will help me in any way.

Tell me about your weekend. Share pics


This weekend I had two football games. I had one on Friday, it was at home and we played Garner- Edgerton. I didn’t get in until the fourth quarter and it was a huge blowout by then. The final score was 70 to 20, we won. The next game was Saturday morning and it was a JV game, I played the whole game and we won 20-6.

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.

My thoughts are the same, after reading this article my ideas are improved and my belief that students shouldn't wear what ever they want is stronger. When I see that a teacher agrees with my opinions about the school dress code being closer to a work place dress code I understand that that is how it should be. In the workplace adults don't get to wear whatever they want so if students wish to be treated like adults then they should have to follow the rules.

I think that the perfect curriculum is the one that we have now. It covers all of the necessary topics and subjects so I don’t think anything could really be any better. All of the classwork and what we do in classes would pretty much be the same, other than the fact that there should be no homework and everything is done in school.

Imagine Mr. Bacon has asked you to suggest one way of improving Blue Valley High School to make it a better place for students. Think about the changes that are needed at your school. Pick one change you feel would really make a difference and explain what it is and why you'd make the change.

If I could make one change to the school it would be to change the school parking lot. The parking lot is very small and insufficient compared to other schools parking lots. It also becomes clogged and as a result it causes a lot of wrecks. The size is also an issue as no sophomores can park in it and are forced to park in a neighborhood far away. Fixing the school parking should be the number one thing Mr. Bacon should change.

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain.

My weekend was pretty average, surprisingly. So I guess I'll tell you my about the city. My favorite place to go is without a doubt the Mcdonalds on a 151 street. The whole city is basically my stomping ground. My favorite sports team is the Isotopes Rec Basketball Team, they are really good, you've probably heard of them.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

I disagree; I think that there should be some restrictions to what anyone can wear. It is not just limited to girls, I mean that everyone has certain things that they would like to wear but they aren’t appropriate. For example, in the workplace adults cannot wear whatever they want because it is simply unprofessional. If students want to be treated as adults then they need to learn how to act like them.

What is an infographic? If you don't know, go look it up. Read about it and then in your own words tell me what an infographic is. What do infographics do? How do they work? What makes a really good infographic?

An infographic is an image used to represent data. Infographics present information to people in an interesting way. They work by being creative and pleasant to look at. A good infographic is made with a good graphic and interesting data.

What are your favorite apps on your phone or tablet? Why?

My favorite app on my phone is easily snapchat. I pick up all the babes with it which is one reason. Another reason is because my snapchat game is straight fire. It is one of the only apps I use because it is the only one that isn’t useless. If I was trapped on an island and could only have one thing I would choose snapchat.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"?

Email is an ancient form of communication. Few people use emails today. I imagine the kinds of people that use it are substitute teachers and parole officers. People use emails to create accounts on stuff. I know nothing about this so called “email etiquette”.

Now that you've been in Emerging Technology for several weeks... what do you think? Do you think the web tools (Drive, Evernote, Bubbl, etc.) are helpful to you? Do you think they will be helpful throughout high school or even college? Explain.


I think that this is a great class and that all of the web tools are very helpful. They will be very helpful throughout high school when doing projects and research. These skills are very useful when doing schoolwork.

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 enjoy writing very much; I enjoy all kinds of writing all the time. The ability to write is important because it is the ability to tell a story and to communicate, if you cannot write well there are many things that you will struggle with. I enjoy writing for fun and telling a story because you can really get creative and do whatever you want to do and tell a story how you want it to be told.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.
 

An example of this quote in my life is studying for a math test. I had a math test and I failed to prepare, and I did not know at the time that I was preparing to fail. I did very poorly on the test and should have studied. In order to succeed at something you must put in the work and if you don’t you will fail.
