English 9, I made the story on my own and the theme of the story is how a muffin can lead to love.
Communication Reflection
My project is a interactive story made on twinery. I talked with one of my friends, who helped me come up with an idea. I worked alone, and I personally thought I could’ve done better than I did, but I am proud of what I did do.
Was I able to identify how the geography impact the town / city with ease? How was I able to find how the physical geography impacted these areas?
Yes. Used google maps and the official website of the town I chose to help find what the terrain and land were like and how the physical landscape affected the area.
How did the technology personally affect my learning? What were the pros and cons of using maphub.com? Be detailed in your response here.
Using technology helped a lot because I didn’t have it sit in a library and look at book (I most likely wouldn’t understand) for hours on end. I could use google and other sites to help find the information needed. The pros of maphub were that once i learned how to use it i was pretty easy and i could find locations easy.
Were you satisfied with the result of your design and solutions?
Yes.
How would you refine your assignment in the future?
I usually manage stress in my life by using technology. I frequently listen to music to help cope with stress during the day, and almost always fall asleep to music to help me not stress during the night, so i can sleep semi-better then normal. I also use social media to reach out to friends and look at posts that distract me from stress and anxiety, until i’m more confident to deal with it properly. But technology can also be a stress causer for me, and probably a lot of other people. We look into recent events and hear about all these bad things happening in other countries and it makes us think, what if this happens to us? Or we see that has someone has killed another person and is running loose, what if he kills us? Or we look on social media and see a stereotypical beautiful person and stress over how we’ll never be that “perfect”. Overall for me technology is mainly a coping mechanism cause I’ve filtered all my social media to only show things that make me feel good. I still see things that upset me or are negative in my life but its 99% all stuff that I enjoy seeing. I still look into the news so i know whats happening in the world and i’m not living under a rock completely. I also use my phone to track my emotions to reflect on why i felt that way and to recognize what happened in that time-frame that made me more stressed than normal.
Im 14, and almost always have at least one earbud in. i have a few small groups of friends. my closest friend sadly goes to a different school. so me and him have made it a routine to hang out every weekend. i doodle a lot in classes and when i don’t understand something in class i usually just sit in silence struggling until i get home where i viciously research how to do it. i want to get better in math this year but i don’t think i will.
i chose youtube because it can watch almost anything want.
My favorite video
i cannot answer this question fully because i have no favorite video
My favorite image
i choses this image because i can strongly relate to it. sometimes i feel like this image. like i’ve climbed a ladder then i start floating.
My favorite quote
“I do want i want”
-My grandmother
I chose this quote cause there was a time in my life where i was following people and doling what there told me to even though i didn’t want to do it. I told my grandma this and she encouraged me to just do want i want and she told me a story about how one time when she was younger her and her friends met a fully speaking mexican man and he was yelling at them for something and they then made friends with him and taught him how to speak one sentence in english. it was- “I do what i want”
