Reflectiooonnn !

What do you think of the class so far? What have you learned this semester? What would you like to learn more about? How can we use technology more in the classroom? How do you feel you're doing in the class? What can I do to help you more? What can you do to improve?

-So far I think this class in pretty interesting and fun. Not only does this class have pretty fun people, but they projects we do are hands-on which makes it more exciting to do. I've learned many new skills like getting a deeper meaning of things and more in-depth messages in what's described throughout a story. This has showed how to look at many at books in many different ways, which makes me more open-minded to many things. I would like to learn more about literature in every way. For example, I would like to learn how to write great poems and exciting stories because I'm definitely not good at writing poems :(   As far as technology goes, I believe we do use it a lot in our class; we make podcasts, express our thoughts through blogging, etc. I feel like I have not done my best in this class though. I have been slacking off and I had been extremely busy with work, but not I'm not working as much so that will give me more time to do my work.

Science Fiction Story

Write a basic outline for what your story could be about. Type or write a rough draft of your story for tomorrow. 

*story takes place in 2017

-aliens decide to come live on Earth

-People are terrified by the thought of this and create a catastrophe.

-Aliens try to get people understand that they do not want to create damage.

-in the end, people think the aliens are cute and are okay with them living there.

THE END* :)

Adapting Books into Movies

I think that the movies of Harry Potter were better than the book. There is not that many movie adaptions that have been better than the book. When books are made into movies and you have already read the book, you notice that they change many things, which might have had a very good meaning. The books are more descriptive and it lets you use your imagination more. Settings, events, and characters that were in the book get changed throughout movies which make the movie less meaningful.

Utopia or Dystopia?

I believe that the future might be a little bit better as far as technology goes. I don't know about economically though. Books and movies usually do portray the future and that is kind of how I see it too. Technologically, we will definitely be more advanced, but in government, we would probably be more restricted to things because of all the advancement that would be going on in the society.

The Road to Greatness

The quote by Francis Bacon probably means that in life you have to rise in order to achieve what you want. Like you have to take a path that will lead you to something good but in that path you might find obstacles that you will be able to go through. Everyone in life has a path, either that they chose or is chosen for them. Once you got to the end of the path (top of staircase) is when you got to where you wanted and are now older and wiser. Once you are already old, you will probably remember the most memorable things in life that helped you through life.
