Differences and similarities about the movie and the book.

The differences about the book and the movie is that in the movie gives away what happened so quickly and gives flashbacks so quick, in the book is more difficult to find out. Another thing, is that in the book Andy Evans tries to rape Melinda whereas in the book he only screams at her and tries to hit her. In the book says that Melinda writes in the bathroom about Andy Evans, but in the film she writes that ''Exhange students ruining the students''. Melinda meets Heather in the School bus in the film and in the book she meets her in the auditorium. Also, Ivy doesn't speak a lot to Melinda whereas in the book they talked a lot like best friends were they used to be. Finally, In the book, Melinda hears about Rachel and Andy's breakup happening at prom, whereas in the movie, Rachel breaks up with Andy outside of his car.

The similarities are that have most of the same narrations and same lines of acting. It takes place in the same high school. Talks about her raped by Andy Evans and how she was drunk, he was also drunk. In my conclusion, there's way more differences than in similarities.

Soundtracker final project

In this soundtracker project was really good. I really liked doing this type of things.

My challenges for thins song were that make a really good effort make a real song. There was a lI would change a lot of things like in some kinds of things it doesnt match. And I would find more sound effects.

I really liked my soundtracker mash up its ounds really cool. This was a good time doing it. When I was creating this I thought that was going to be really hard doing it because it would be hard on finding the sound effects. Finally, Audacity is a good place to do mash ups a little confusing but still you can do.

I liked a lot of mashups of my classmates. One of them was Cassie's and Emma's. They are really good. I think they should have an A+.

Watercolor Interpretation

Melinda a 9th grader girl was really confused when she picked “Tree” in Mr. Freeman’s class, she thought that it was going to be really easy. In this assignment she has to do a tree. She was asking really tough questions like “I’m going to do lots of trees in the year? or different types of drawing? “ Well, with this I felt the same way that Melinda felt about this tree. On Friday I walked into Mr. Heneghan’s class and I saw paper with watercolors and I thought we’re going to paint. In a while Mr. Heneghan talked to us the instructions and the assignment was to do a tree striking by a lightning.

When I was creating this tree Practice I really didn’t know what to do at first but, then I looked at Alana’s and Tania’s drawing I had an idea to create a tree, like a normal tree. Something went wrong, my paint was really ugly i really didn’t like it, it was horrible. So, you know I started everything with an purple paper and start with red and orange background I was in rush i had like 20 min left and I didn't even know what to do but I made it. I did the orange and red background because its like the sunrise when Melinda woke up to school the first day and felt that stomachache. After painting all my background I went t do my normal “Tree” with grass on he bottom then start to do my brown and the with leaves the strong green, I did this normal because I think Melinda should get happier and get new friends. The strong part has began I drew my lightning yellow and then hitting the tree and the tree started to burn with the colors of dark, red, yellow and orange. After finishing this I think that it has to be more creative so, I drew some of grey clouds and showing some of the loneliness that Melinda has and because of the rainy day and this rainy day expressing it. Finally, I gave it to Mr. Heneghan and this drawing expressed a lot of emotions like happiness and kind of loneliness, but I really like it. In my opinion I think Melinda should get happier. In my conclusion I made this tree like I said because that´s how I expressed painting trees.

Mash Up Elena

The process of my mash up was really good, I done this really early. I really know how to use this. Actually, when I was using this I thought that I was going to be really frustrated and I really, had a good time making it. Another thing, about the product of Audacity, It was really confusing at the beginning but, I really understand this. I really like it actually.

Mash-Up

Mash-up is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another
A good mashup makes them to rhyme the song. And the beat needs to rhyme with the songs. A not so great mash up its like dont doit in orders and it doesnt rhyme and has a lot of confusing and the listener doesnt understand, has a bad beat.
I found this website http://hubpages.com/hub/5-Tips-for-Creating-Mash-Up-Music which tells a lot of the tips it tells 5 tips of how you can improve or how to use it.
The one's that make mashup music they don't need to be artists or musician I can do it everybody can do it.
Finally, I have listened to Earworm and DJ DeNoctis they are really good mashups artists and we know them.

The last time we had a family reunion was in Christmas 2009. Every christmas we are together. Well, mi mom's family. However once we had with ALL my family long time ago I dont remeber what year but only one we had a whole family member.

Frames

I chooses ablot of frames. I put different frames in each photo, to represent each person my parents have like gold in the outside frame. Those are the only ones that are currently the same but not at all. Finally, I have nothing more to say because each family member have different frames to represent eah other.

tree

This tree is really important to me because reminds me of Canada well, the background. Remembers me about a school that I always passed there. However, this tree looks really creative and really like it.

JOY

J: I just did school and work in class. I was doing photoshop because we need to do this work to get a good mark.

O: One thing that I would to myself is have better grades. Have better score in golf to get prizes in the tournaments. Improve my attention in class because its better to understand what I am going to do or for tests or other things like homework. Another thing, is that I want to not be in the computer for too long because its distractive for me to do my homework.

Y: A part of me that makes me special is that I know to play soccer and golf because they are my favorite sports and im good at them, Another thing, its that im a good friend or person. Im cool. I never have fights with friends if i have fights this problems I can solve because i let them to understand that im really sorry that from problems you don't do them again.

Map Test

On October we make a Map Test and we made another one in May. To begin with, there were a lot of changes in my scores which is good. I like how I put a lot of effort on that. Then, my feelings didn't change it was more frustrating than the other time. It feels good sometimes because we loose class for doing this computer test and I really like that. I would change lots of things about this process. I was really happy with my 2 scores which are math and reading I pass my scored higher than the last one. On language it was difficult this time and I got lower than my scores of the last time I got 3 less points and I was sad about it. Next time, I will be ready for this test and read very good the instructions. Finally, I got very good scores this time and I'm happy about it.

Presentations.

Today, in class we present presentations and we grade them. My presentation was good because, it has a lot of ideas that we can put it together as the final presentation. The one that I grade, it was kind of boring because it didn't have animation and ideas so it was to short. My classmate did a great job, presenting she had a lot of ideas that we can connect them into our final. So, I guess if we can put this ideas together on our final one would be an excellent presentation. My presentation was longer but good one. I can put more animation and a better background. But, I think that the most important are the ideas for presenting this. Finally, there were a good ones.

PowerPoint

In primary we had a lot of PowerPoint presentations. We made book talks this are that we should read a book and then make it into a power point presentation. A lot of us made boring presentations. Even that person was asleep, but they didn't care, because they just wanna have a good grade. There was a lot of cases that if that student didn't send it correctly that student should have a late mark or do it by themselves like without the presentation that they made. The teacher want it to don't send it with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 because in her computer didn't have that program so, when we were going to save it we should out Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 and really that was so frustrating.

Biography

Video! Reflection!

I really liked this video. This video is made by the 8th graders. You'll enjoy this video. Its not hard to understand at this video it just clarified you'll uderstand it how it is. This video is about a robot. That is about a ball that it moves like a robot. Its colorful and has a lot of things that you can see how it moves and its very creative.

Pranav Mistry ; Advance Technology

To begin with, my reaction about this video is like wow I really liked it a lot. If they asking will you want of these? I would answer first of course! but, then, how much it cost this and I will like it because it use for everything it will use more for the work and for adults because for teenagers. It will be fun for us, but actually are for adults to work on them. It costs a lot for just play on them. Another thing, this advance technology are very specially are very imprresive to see this. Finally, I will buy them or I will not, thats the decission of my mom. But, of course I will buy it if I have money.

My feel about this advance technology is that, I like how this men intelligent to do this type of things. Is very incredible to the touch in your hand and now it will be name iTouch. Like Witting just in a paper with those things in your fingers. This is like a computer but in a paper or hand and its very interesting to watch and see how just do it in this instead going to a computer. The limits of these is that it will be a entertainment thing for the teenagers and that will be kind of sad to see all children to use that to chat and use the things they actually do in the computer. In other waym, the adults can use it to work and it will very special, it will be easy to make their notes.

Open source means is that everybody can use this technology like in the computer. Is that i would cost nothing and the people that are using and can change it. Example our webpage moodle. A lot of things can pass in here.
