Tree

There are many reasons why I chose this tree. This tree is very unique. I chose it because it has a warm aspect. I love the red color, and I like warm places. It reminds me of trips I have had. Like when I am drinking hot chocolate in a cold place. It reminds me of my family a lot. Also, of trips I have had.

"JOY"

This is a paragraph about the "Joy" I have. These vacations I jumped from a very high place to a pool. It was about 5 meters or higher it was very fun, since I was with all my cousins and we did tricks in the air. What I would like to do for myself, now that I think about it, is to get taller by being very healthy and doing lots of exercise. Something that makes me very special is my humor, I love to make jokes. I also always do pranks and get waht people say. I am a very "JOY"ful person.

MAP Testing

On October I wrote about what I felt about MAP testing. I still feel the same about them, they help us in school, because teachers don't leave us homework. Still, they make you get REALLY bored, since I take a lot of time to finish them. I felt happy about the tests I took this past week. I beat my score for more than 7 points, though, it was hard. The only thing I would change about how I do the tests, is not getting distracted, and taking less time doing them. Map testings are evaluations that I dislike in some ways, but that I like in some ways.

Presentations

In class I saw 4 presentations of students in my group. I noticed that some put animations. Therefore, that would be something I would change in my presentation, I'd put animations. Also, I saw some presentations were longer, for this reason, I'd make my presentation longer. Last but not least, I'd add more information to each slide to talk more about the subject. I learned many things about doing presentations here in computer class. Studying before talking about a presentation will help a lot. The presentations my classmates made were very interesting.

PowerPoint

A year ago, our class used to do booktalks. Everyone had to make a PowerPoint presentation or dress up and talk about a book. When finally one of our students came up she started her presentation. She first talked about the characters (one slide for each) with more than 10 bullet points for each. In total she already had more than 5 presentations, one for each character and one for the title. after that she explained the summary with pictures and she made it almost for all the book. her presentation was longer than 20 minutes, everyone was bored and wanted her to end. Finally she finished her presentation with a conclusion. Long presentations were not entertaining when diong booktalks.

8th Grade Animation

The 8th grade rotoball project was impresive. I really liked how each of the students passed the ball. The clip I liked the most was Sebastian´s. This is because he made a backround of a war and he used the rotoball to make weapons which was awesome. I also liked how Adriana finished the animation throwing the ball to the screen and making an explosion. Still, everyone made a good job, and they were very creative. Finally, Rodrigo made a good job editing the video. He somehow connected the clips together so that they looked good. I hope the 8th graders make more projects, because they are nicely done. The project was very interesting and I enjoyed watching it.

There was once a priest who lived in a church. He loved to go exploring to places in the world. One time he had gone to a building in the middle of the city he lived in. There, he found a mysterious ring that had a strange kind of power. So he went on different quests to look for precious materials the ring would mark. In one of those quests he found a chest that had a lot gold in it.

Another day, he noticed the ring was making an unfaliar signal that marked that there was something close to him. He observed the ring and thought it was malfunctioning. So, he put the ring in the corner of the room. For more than 5 days he had ignored the ring and returned to his normal way of living. He had had a good time those days.

The next day, he saw the ring was turning into a reddish color. For this reason he grabbed it and studied. He noticed the ring was marking that there was something in his garden. He grabbed his magnifying glass and went on to look for the rare object. He discovered there was a strange creature in his bushes that was developing. He grabbed it and took care of him for the rest of his life. But suddenly one day...
