Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.
I agree with what the author is saying. I think that the teacher is trying to say that school is a lot more than just learning. School has many more purposes rather than just getting good grades. School tests how hard you work and how hard you are willing to work in order to make yourself successful. It isn't all about the grades, it is about your attitude and your will to do the things that life throws at you. Many worse things will come to us as we get older and move into the real world, and school is just a small step to prepare us for how react to them and how to overcome them. School is a lot more than what we think it is.

Reflect on your stop-motion animation project. How did it go? What worked? What didn't work? If you're not finished - why? If you are finished go in to detail about the project and what you learned. Give as much detail and information as possible.
I think the project went well overall. The hardest part was coming up with an idea and making it actually work. Some ideas were harder than others and made it too hard to do. But, once you found a good idea then the project was good. I learned that it was really hard to continually take all those pictures and have so many of them just to make a 30 second video. We had enough time to do all that was needed, I liked how we were free to do what we want and use what ideas we want. It was a really fun project.

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE?
I'm not totally sure what my stop-motion animation is going to be. I plan on taking my pictures either today during class or tonight at home. I plan on trying to get a full plan for what my stop-motion is going to be of. If I get that figured out, I will start taking my pictures.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
Stop motion animation is a way to make static (not moving) objects look as if they are moving. You bring the object to motion by breaking up the figures motion into small increments.

Tell me about your 5 frame storyboard. What did you like about the project? What did you dislike? Was it hard to fit a story in to 5 images? Do you think you tell a clear story? What would you do differently if you could? Explain.
I liked how we could take pictures of whatever we want and be as creative as we want to be. It was kind of difficult to fit 5 images into a story. You would have to compromise and think of which pictures/scenes would be the most important in telling the story. I think in my story it is very clear what is happening. I would probably try and be more creative, I'm not a very creative person.

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?
A storyboard is a number of pictures or drawings that represent a story. All the pictures are lined up in a way that tells some sort of story. I don't know any specific ways they can be made, but easily can be put in an order on a word document. I don't know of any websites that help make them.
