Final

For my first interview, I interviewed my moms older sister (my aunt) Louis. Click here

For my second interview, I interviewed my grandma on my moms side of the family, this is my step-grandma so my grandma from my grandpa's second marriage. Click here

This is the business letter format e-mail that I e-mailed to my grandpa on my moms side of the family that is still alive for information on my heritage and family. Click here



This is my family prezi over 15 of the family members that I felt were good role models and good examples of successful people that I look up to. It's mostly my moms side of he family an a smaller part on my dads side of the family.

This is the infograph over my immediate family. My two brothers and me and my mom and dad. How we ended up here and more into depth of what we did and how we are.

Here is my 5 frame storyboard depicting my heritage and where I came from. Pictures hand drawn and taken by me. Click here

Journal - Where are you right now on your "Who Do You Think You Are" project? What did you do over the break for the project? Did you interview anyone? Use the checklist below to figure out what you have finished, what you are still working on and what you still have to do.


I called my grandparents from the other side of the family but I forgot that my grandma went on a cruise so I'm going to try to contact my grandpa tonight sometime. I didn't do much over the break for it though. I already finised my family echo and my 5 frame story photo thing. I'm currently working on my infograph over my immediate family and have kind of not really started my prezi. I still need to collect pictures for the prezi. I think I already know what 15 family member I am going to use or I at least have an idea of it. I finished the e-mail also though.

Stop Motion Animation Critics

1. Zoe Krump. Crayola markers design to end up spelling love. I thought it was creative and unique and it looked very well put together.
2.Grant Keucker.  Two rolling chairs in a hallway racing. I thought it looked almost like a video even, it was so put together and looked good.
3. Ian Whelan. Re-arming a lego battle ship. I thought that it looked really good and it was also a unique idea that's different.

Journal - How did you stop motion animation turn out? If you could give it a grade, what would you give it out of 60 points? What did you learn from creating this video?


I have no finished my stop motion animation. I'm trying so right now I would have a solid zero although I don't like the sound of that but I know that i's my responsibility to make it all up. I have learned that you need to be really creative and dedicated to do things like these but in the long wrong you will have something to be proud of because most of these stop motion animations are really cool looking and fun as well. You also need to have have lots of patience. 

Monday November 11

Journal - How far along are you on your stop motion animation? What did you do over the weekend to work on you stop motion animation? Do you have all your pictures today? Will you have all your pictures by the end of the hour? Give me a detailed updated.



I have not gotten very far at all. Over the weekend I started working on the pictures for taking pictures every ten minutes of the outside but I got really busy and ended up not finishing. Either way it would not have been enough pictures for the project. I do not have all my pictures at all today. I don't think that I will have them all by the end of the hour but I will make sure to have them ASAP.

Friday November 8

Journal - What are you planning on doing for your stop-motion animation video? What story are you going to tell? How will your video be fun and different? Who is taking your photos? When are you taking your photos?

I am planning on either doing a slinky going down some stairs, or the clouds moving. It will be fun because it is a colorful slinky but my cloud idea I don't think would necessarily be different because it is so mainstream. I will take pictures of the sky/clouds in the same position like every ten minutes for about six hours. I will probably be the one taking my pictures. I will hopefully have them taken and everything by sometime Sunday. 

Wednesday November 6

Journal - What story will your storyboard tell? Explain in detail.

My storyboard is going to tell the story of how to get ready for school. My first picture will be one of me sleeping/getting out of bed. Then I will add a picture of m picking out an outfit for school in my closet. After that I go over to my vanity and brush me bed head out. Next I like put my make-up on. The last step would be for me to leave my room and go to the kitchen to make my lunch. A bagel with cheese, turkey, and lettuce. It's simple but fast and kinda fun.
