The Past

For the elective term of my sophomore year  decided to take the class Book Bound this class shows us the reader and the digital vs actual books. People now have so many resources to read online or they just don't like to read. How this affects people. I was assigned to read Lord of the Flies by William Goldings, it is very popular book and movie. The book is listed in the literary canon. I like the book but I don't like certain characters and there choices. We had to make porofolio of all the work we have done my favorite is my choice canon slideshow

My Choice for the Canon 
For this assignment we had to choose which book that we have enjoyed on our own that should be in the literary canon. I chose Color me butterfly by L.Y Marlow this was a sad yet good book. 

Storyboard 
For this assignment, I was told to make a storyboard that tells you how I learned to read in five slides.  This assignment was very fun to do trying to remember what happened was hard when, I was little. This assignment connects us to reading which is what this class is about realizing  how important reading is to us a as a human race.









LiteraryPoster

AL Literature Poster 2016

For this assignment, I was supposed to make a poster for my question of our choice involving literature. My question was why is learning to read so difficult in Africa. It turns out that the reasons are that even kids who go to school there teacher either doesn't show up or the kids don't have the resources to learn like books. Another reason kids don't go to school is because they don't have transportation to get there. Others that walk are bothered by the boy as they walk past. I am very proud of my poster it was easy to do and it made e realize how good i have it in life.

 Lord of the Flies 
For this assignment  we had decide wether or not we think that Lord of the flies should be in the literary canon. I personally would choose yes and no but we had to choose one so I chose to do yes.

Benefits to the New Space

Signs for the new space

Unit 3 of Rapid Prototyping, which is a math and art class. In unit 3 we learned about different tools and if they have torque or leverage. We also discussed safety in work environment.We had to make our own life hack. We also looked at Ikea hacks too and Instructables after that we had to make and design  something for the new space our school is moving into. I am proud of my sign, it took hours to make.

                  

The project I made was a sign for the bathroom. Since we have a new space we need signs so each student knows where everything is.I made a sign made out of wood It is a creative way to make your house or school interesting on a budget. This was My Inspiration it is a poster of inspiration poster made out of cardboard. During the FE one of the ladies said that "we should be inspired by anything you feel no matter what it is" My time lapse shows the cutting of the design for the stencil. I used my friends phone to take the time lapse so I didn’t have to shorten it is 14 seconds. To make my sign I didn't have to use torque. Torque is rotation the bigger the handle the more torque there is.

As far as safety, I had to use  a saw to cut the wood which is very dangerous without safety gear. For example,goggles in case the wood flies into the air. Fortunately there were no accidents while using it.  My Instruct ables page  My Instruct ables Page which has everything and more of my project and how it turned out.

1. I learned to plan ahead or make sure you have an exact idea of what you’re doing

     2. Make sure you can get all the materials that you need

     3.Do your blog as you go as well as the Instruct ables page because you won’t have to remember     

     4. Make sure you  have a good stencil paper or a backup idea that is quick just in case.

     5. Make sure you can the design by hand.
