Our class went on a camping trip to Anza Borrego. Then we made a mural about it. The mural is inspired by the Pan American Unity mural by Diego Rivera. The top part of the mural is about our experience's and things that we saw at Anza Borrego. The bottom part of the mural is from 6 million years ago, the bottom of the mural has different kinds of animals, people, plants.
Our class went on a camping trip to Cuyamaca, there we made documentaries about one of our classmates. We interviewed them before, during, and after. We also took b-roll (which is just video's) during the trip. Then we put all the footage together and that's how we got our Cuyamaca films.
Our Geometric mural was about of Cuyamaca camping trip. The mural is divide up into 3 sections, The blue is at lake Cuyamaca, the orange is at the campsite, and the purple is about a few students that went backpacking. We had to choose an image from the trip and outline it in GeoGebra. Then uploaded the image in photoshop and color it in there. Chet then added them all into a mural blueprint where Ms. Chase could give us a part of the mural to paint on wood boards.
Our project cards were about the geometric thing we made. I made chat by the lake, then I talked about my prosses geometrizing Chet. Then I annotated the image and added my annotations to the project card.
My class went on a filed trip to mission trails. We had to create a graph about or energy levels, happiness, etc.. I did not go hiking, but I still made a graph about my day at home. My happiness scale was from 1-5, 1 being sad and 5 being very happy. Then the paragraph at the bottom talks about my day.
In physics we made a model of the oc ropes course. We made 2 drafts, the first draft was made out of cardboard and popsicle sticks. Our second draft was supposed to be better, we made them our of wood sticks, string, and clay.
My April calendar was my favorite calendar of this school year. The theme was music, each day I did an album from an artist I really liked. Each week is a new artist and the last week is random songs each day.
