TPoL Questions

1) Projects & the HoHMs.
F)Why do we create drafts? Why do we create multiple drafts?
We create drafts by putting a whole bunch of different ideas together to make one whole big idea. We make different drafts, to improve our ideas. Each draft that we make improves our ideas atleast a little bit.

H)Descrive a situation or time where you felt you really learned a particular HoHM? Explain what this HoHM really means to you.
In my math/physics class, We did a roller coaster project, and we were in groups of 4. Our group didnt always get along. We all wanter to do things differently. We had to learn to use the HoHM of cooperation, so we could finish our project. We overcame this difficulty, and we finished our rollercoaster on time, and in the end, it came out very good.

2)Person Growth & Development
C) Have you challenged yourself to get out of your "Comfort zone"? Explain.
Yes, i have. In the beginning of the year, I would barely talk. I wouldnt ask questions either, so i didnt always understand everything. But i have definitely gotten past this, and i talk alot more now, and when i dont understand something,I ask a question.

G)How do people learn?
I think that people learn alot easier through experiences, or through hands on. If someone goes through something, and experiences it, they know alot more about it, and how to handle it, or how to do something.

3) Organizational Skills and Time Management
B) Do you use your daily planner?
Yes, i do use my personal planner. Whenever we have an assignment due, or that i need to do, i always right it down in my planner. It helps me stay organized, and it is a very simple and effective way to stay organized. I think we should use planners for the oncoming years.

Movie Review

1) Title of the movie: Fifth Element
2)Main characters: Leeloo, Korben Dalls, Fingers, Diva,
3)Egypt, and in the future
4)A brief description of the plot in my own words- there are 5 elements, air, fire, earth,water, and supreme warrior, the supreme warrior is to protect the world from the evil that comes every 500(?) years. There was an attack, that killed everyone that was supposed to help safe earth. except for one, lee loo, she was sent to help keep earth safe.
5)This movie is very different in real life, such as we dont have flying cars, we cant re-make a person, like they did lee loo, and we dont know very much about the things in space.
6)I think that this world was created to show us what they future could possible look like.
7)This makes me question the idea that if we should get more advanced.
8)i didnt really get any ideas for my ideal world.

Movie Review

1) The name of the movie is: The Village

2)The main characters were:Lucius, Alice, Ivy Walker,and Edward

3) The movie takes place around 1897ish.(date on tombstone) in a village surrounded by creatures in the woods.

4)The village people are surrounded by woods, and inside of the woods, there are creatures, and the creatures will not harm the villagers, as long as they villagers do not go inside of the woods. But when luscious enters the woods, looking for medicine, small animal caucuses are found around the village. Causing the elders and everyone to worry about the pact that they had with the creatures.

5)The real and world and the movie are different, because we don't have a pact with creatures inside of woods, and there are no creatures inside of the woods.
6)I think that this world was created to try and make a creepy movie, one that was sort of a make believe world.

7)This doesnt really make me question or challenge anything that is ideal, because Nothing that i think is ideal is really in this move.
8) Some ideas that i get for my ideal world are that we would be able to go anywhere, and not have to stay somewhere.

Good, and bad photographs.


What makes a good, or a bad picture?

What I think makes a good photograph is: good lighting so you can see everything in the picture, Another thing that makes a picture good is clarity, whether you can see the picture, or if its just really blurry. Another thing is perspective. That can always
make photographs look a lot better or worse


This is an example of a picture that uses good lighting, it shows all you can see in this picture, nothing is not able to be seen because it was too dark. This picture also has good clarity, it is not blurry, and it is easily able to be seen. Although, it does not have a very good perspective. It is taken with the camera on the side, and that is it.




This is just an example of a bad picture, its very blurry, which means it has no clarity, the lighting is not very good either, its kinda of dark in some areas, and lighter in others. It also does not have a great perspective either.
