1st quarter< 2nd quarter< summer

I thought that this assignment was enjoyable all the way up until when the grades came out.  I understand that my vlog was not uploaded and i take responcibility for that, however, I didn't think that the rest of the blog pulled my blog down.  Also, the Animoto was graded oddly.  Having to take your own pictures and only being able to use maybe 5 or 6 pictures was not helpful.  After reading the comments from the blog it didn't give me a lot of feedback, but as I said I understand why I got the grade I got... if this blog was being  sent to the president.

This upcoming quarter, I am reading The Great Gatsby.  I have heard it is a classic, and am looking forward to it.  I'm approching this book with an open mind.  Probably because I want to read the book, and a teacher isn't standing behind me mandating I read every page.  I will read every page, but you know.

I am also excited that this quarter Mrs. Hayes said that we are going to video chat with students from another school.  This sounds like fun.  It also sounds like it could go badly.  There is a lot of variables going into this project.  Will the computer work, will I come prepared, will this, will that, but most importantly will I have a cool partner!  Again I will have an open mind but I hope that second quarter blogging goes better than the first time.

  1. Kippy, Kippy, Kippy... you are certainly the pot calling the kettle black. Although I am behind on my blogs you are as well, but I see you put in some work and i applaud you for that. I would like to point out that you said you took full responsibility for not having you're vlog uploaded but yet you still blamed me for it... do i sense some jealousy that you don't have an incredible phone like I do? But enough of that onto you're actual blog. I agree with you that it was weird how our Animoto's were graded but i now understand what Mrs. Hayes wants and I hope you do as well. I myself was really excited for the video chatting with the students from other schools but it's a shame we did not get to do that this quarter. I have also looked at your blog in the past to help me understand the book I am now reading sense you read it last quarter and you have been very helpful! I look forward to seeing the rest of your blogs when they are finished!
