Today I created a form for a new part of me and my partner’s website. On the upcoming Genius Day we will be showing slideshows and giving out samples of our stories. We are taking clips of our stories and giving them out to visitors. All we will be needing is our laptops and the paper to print the stories on. We thought that this is the best way to showcase our stories because it is simple and would leave the readers wanting more of our stories.

Today me and my partner worked on our careacter preview for genius day. we went in and out of the story finding little bits and pieces of personalities in each careacter. Next week, we will add on to our stories and the new website which is down below. me and the rest of my class are very excited about going to Thomas Jefferson Junior High School to see what the 8th graders have done in their rounds or genius hour. Ever since Genius Fair was canceled the teachers agreed to have a whole day of genius hour where people can walk in and see our projects. overall there is a lot to be excited about this week.
Today with my partner, Ben we worked on editing our website for the GeniusFair 2015 we are trying to put toether a good sample of each of our stories.
Today I recorded my elevator speech today and next time i am thinking about writing a Utopian fiction story with my friend Ben in a year or two we might even get it published.
Today I researched about how to get better at photography and found this cool website that had 40 really interesting things. Now I am waiting for the results of the photography contest on May 1st. All I have to do is create a final video about what I learned during this round of genius hour. I don't know what the future will hold for me but i hope it is filled with photography.
I have leaned that in a span of 100-ish years cameras have gone from a hollow ten pound block of wood to a little piece of metal that if its wired right it can be the greatest way to share stories with the world. I have been talking to Mrs. Lynn at Downers Grove South and i sent another e-mail last week but haven't gotten a response yet. My thinking on photography has changed so much, at the beginning of round two I thought that a picture was just a picture. But now i really get the saying of a picture IS worth a thousand (even a million,) words.
I was SOOO excited when today i found a a response from the email i sent last time and the teacher who i contacted told me to do more digital photography. mrs trabilsy agreed with her and then for the second half of the time i was in total CSI mode picking through my photo to find the one i took at a park by my grandma's house. when i found it me and mrs trabilsy couldnt find how to download it then ms tesmur came over and just dragged it to the little download icon. now i am ready to send my picture to a real photogrphy contest.
next i might sit in at a photogrphy class at downers grove soulth. and i am so exicted for what's to come! I have been doing ALOT this past two days of genius hour for my passion this time i choose photography and already i have branched out to the photography teacher at Downers Grove South and just sent her an email today. what i asked her in the email was about darkroom photography darkroom photography is where you take a piece of film and place it in a bin of different chemicals and in an hour or so it will be developed. so far i am already learning so much about photography just from two days of round two.
