I really am sorry! I changed my Genius Hour AGAIN! ;( The one that I was going to do didn't really interest me at first. So I changed it to writing tips. I will be making about 3 videos on this topic, 1), is going to be about the intro, beginning your story. 2) will be about the middle part of your story, like the plot. 3) will be about the ending, the resolution. I will be putting these videos on YouTube, and I hope I inspire some people! I made my note cards today, and will be taking the video hopefully next Genius Hour. Wish me luck!
So sorry I have not written in awhile guys! D: Well, this round of Genius Hour was a FAILURE. So, my partner and I had tried to, you know, make LOTS of videos of our DIY and upload it to YouTube.com but... it did not work out. We tried uploading for Ever and it turned out that it took a lot longer than we expecting to upload a video that was more than 30 seconds long on our drive. So we had to ask the librarian, and she told us that the connection was down, then like a miracle, OURS UPLOADED!!! So if you type up, ¨Galaxy in a Jar Part 1 of 3"It will show up. ;D So right now we are trying to upload the second and last video, we accidentally said Part 1 of 3 instead of 2. So, there is though only 2 videos. So, I am hoping that MAYBE for the last round of Genius Hour I MIGHT do Ancient Egyptian Life and I will make a presentation about it and wrap dolls like a mummy, some wearing clothes the Ancient Egyptians wore. So, that is all for now! ;3
Today, this Friday for Genius Hour, it did not work out so well. My partner DID NOT HELP ME. I am so upset, and disappointed. When we found out we could not find the slime video, my partner did not help me throughout the rest. So this Genius Hour all I could do was get ready for DIY Galaxy in a Jar, and then helped others. My partner just went off with a friend. I am upset. Now, I just hope that she actually realizes she has to help and next Friday brings the things I have assigned her. This Genius Hour was not well, and I hope next time it is better... :(
Our slime DIY worked 50%... the slime part worked REALLY well; it was made right, etc. But when we made the video, we were unprepared to do it , and we messed up A LOT. So, next Genius Hour we are going to do slime again, if possible, and then upload the video to YouTube The current one that we have made we are not uploading. So, it worked halfway! But we are NOT giving up! So next Friday we are going to do slime again. That's all for now!
I never thought that I would switch my round 2, from Ancient Egypt, to DIY (Do It Yourself) projects! I will be making videos, and showing people how to make stuff. I switched because making DIY is so much more fun! Today, I had to make a list of what I will be doing each Friday. Next Friday, I will be doing White Slime project, and my partner and I will bring the supplies and make the video together. We afterwards will edit the video, and correct any changes... I hope my DIY slime will be a success!
My genius hour was a success! My topic was photography, and I was learning the history of photography, and how to make better photos. My aunt is a photographer. She made a book about photography, and after I saw those photos, I wanted to know how to do it! We first looked at some professional sites, seeing what was good to do on photography, and what was not. We also looked at some tips photographers put out on websites. Then we started to experiment a little and took out some Ipads and took pictures of objects. We also brought in some objects, like the leaf. We put it in certain places to make the picture stand out. We also downloaded an app called Color Pop, and used it to make some of our pictures black and white, and to add color here and there. From there we made a site on wix.com (link below). With my group, Rasleen and Saule, who also had the passion of photography, worked together to make the site. At first, it was difficult to decide what to add and what not to add, but in the end, all the tangles unraveled. We added some of our pictures to it also to show how and what we learned. For round two I am going to be doing Ancient Egyptian Life and studying everything about them! I really love doing Genius Hour, and cannot wait for round two! http://ahmadkas000.wix.com/photo-flower#!history-of-photography/zoom/c1dmp/yn0k I am a 6th grade student, and this is actually my first post! I cannot wait to use Weebly more, and learn more about blogging. It is very fun, because this is my very own blogging post! I am thrilled to be putting my thoughts and ideas out to the world, to have a voice. I think one of the many posts I will put on this is my Genius Hour. This is going to be a very exciting experience, being able to make this big blog page my own! Being able to decorate it, and doing many more fun things, and well, blogging! This is going to be very exciting, and I know that I will post a lot!
