my ownership reflection


One thing I am proud of is my blogs; we started blogs in the beginning of the year. Since I didn't know much about blogs I started off really slow because I didn't understand what I had to do. As time progressed and I looked at other peoples blogs I started to get ideas from other people. My blogs got better each time and you can see the progression from when I first started to now. The process didn’t take a long time because I caught on very quickly to what we were supposed to do with the blogs. We had a question that the teacher would give find a news article that has to do with the question, and then write about what you feel about the article and how it relates to the question. I think my best blog entry was “We can change: school segregation past, present and future” I feel that I thought carefully about this blog entry and I did a lot of research on subject before I started to write about it. First did not like blogging but now that I understand it more I actually think it is fun because you get to speak your mind and other people can learn things just by looking at your blogs.

Another project I am proud of is my H2O project. For my H2o project I decided to do a video. It took me a very long time to come to where I am today with my video, I had a lot of problems and I was struggling with it to but finally it came out good and I am very proud of my end product. What I had to do was pick a specific topic to talk about and I decided to talk about how pollution in the San Diego Bay affects the sea turtles. I got interviews from experts on the subject and I also got interviews from people who knew a little on the subject. I learned a lot working on this project, one thing I learned was never ever do a video unless you are a expert at it if you’re not then you might struggle and if you do I prefer you to use i-movie or windows movie maker, if you have not used final-cut pro a day in your life don’t use it just a little advice from someone who knows from experience. Overall I like how my final product came out and hopefully if I am forced to do a video I will be more prepared for things and it will come out better every time I use the programs.

my video is not up yet but here is a link to other peoples
