The Heart Beat of Life
Brave New World project
The Art Peace that I made for the Project The book that the Project was around
Description
We started by reading the book Brave New World, that was about a world that had no pain, no sadness, no suffering and every body was always happy. It continued on to show the effects of taking all the negatives away and how all the bad things in the world allow us to have a fulfilling life that we have in are amazing world.
Model United Nations
A Model UN is a act of simulation a real UN conference when you vote for amendments and try to make solution for current global issues. Each kid gets assigned a county and they have to learn that country's views on the issues and act in their shoes to support that country. This was a good way for us to understand these global issues more deeply and be able to form a opinion on some of these more complicated issues. We chose to focus on the North Korea and Israel conflicts.
Greek Tragedy Play Project
We studied lots of Greek tragedy plays in class to see how they are were set up. Then we made are own play that is about a current social issue. We were told to choose a side on the issue, It needed to have a tragic hero as well a tragedy. You could pick lots of ways to show our play like in a book, comic, stop animation, and video, we picked the video. We were able to learn filming, film editing , and script righting in this project. I had a lot of fun making this video hope you like it.
Greek tragedy Reflection
Lacey Andersen
1. I am most proud of our script. It was the most time consuming part I think because we had to figure out how to get all of our thoughts for the video to fit into a one to two day time frame. That was not easy at all; we had to go through lots of drafts to complete every thing in the time frame given. Since we did a good job on the script the filming part went very well and without flaws for the most part. There were a few parts like the Prologue and Chorus that were hard for me to under. I had never rote a script before so I had a lot of learning curves to over come.
2. The hardest part for me was not having complete control over the project. I am a kind of person that likes to do every thing my way. When I work with partners I have a hard time but I like it because I need to work on working with other people and letting them have input on the project. It was really hard as well to try to work on the video out of school because we had to get a time that worked for both of us. I liked having a partner because it helps to distribute all the work for that it’s not all on one person. We were able to get more thing done in are small time frame with two people working. As well this project would of almost been impossible to do by my self.
3. I would have been able to do more of the work on my own time at my house and then we would of not had all the back ground noise of all the cars out side of the school. It was disappointing to have all the back ground noise but that was are only option. As well I could of just kept all the video set up at my house for that we would not need to set everything up each time at school. We were not able to keep any thing set up at school so we wasted a lot of time setting up and taking down. It worked out okay but I felt we could have been spending are time better.
4. If I was to give advice to incoming freshmen to AHS about project past learning is DO NOT fall behind. It will come back to get you. I have learned that the hard, example so if you have a project that is not dew for another 2 weeks. I would think o well I have 3 weeks I have plenty of time, so I did not work on it. All of a sudden the time flew by and the project is dew the next day! Yeah it’s not a good feeling you need to have the initiative to look for the work to do. Never sit around in class and just say I will do this later or at home. Always try to get things done as soon as possible. Then if you get it done early you will not have to weary about it later, or forgetting about it.
