group project- dec. 8th

1 hour.

Today i have worked on editing the video. I have done most of it as of now including splitting each question and answer up into it's own section. I still am working on putting statistics at the beginning of the video and I am still looking for another video to share. Tomorrow we will all meet and work on finishing up everything and determining what each person is going to say with their information.

group project- dec. 7th

1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tonight we worked on our script more and videotaped our video following the script we had wrote. From here we are all still looking for another video showing more concepts of our topic and we are working on gathering our information for what each of us want to say. I am also working on editing the video including statistics and transitions between each question.

Group Project

1 hour.

Right now, all three of us have different information and have compiled information to present ourselves and put in our video. Tonight we are all getting together again to work on writing our script for the video. Each of us have an idea of what we want to do and how we want to do it with basically the same topic in mind. From our information we will present statistics and facts in the video while making the video funny so others our age can relate to it. The video will also present information using ethos, pathos, and logos. We will start our works cited tonight along with the script with all three of us combining our sources so we have a head start on that.

Learning Styles

During class, what I gained from the different learning style quizzes differs between the two. The first quiz, the Peterson's quiz, was the one that was more helpful of the two. The quiz suggested that I was about 55% auditory. I agree with this and what it said at the end but it also differs in each situation that is presented in school and how I am learning. Along with auditory, the next one was about 35% visual. Being my second highest one out of the three, I think this also pertained to me well but it still could vary between what I am doing and how I am learning. The second quiz on engr.ncsu.edu, I thought, was kind of all over the place. It had a lot of different instances and didn't help as much as the first one. This quiz showed that I favored visual and sequential. Again, I think it depends on the situation and what I am learning.

11/19 group project

Project: 30 minutes

This next part of the project I did on my own. From last time we were supposed to research and find information about the H1N1 vaccine that had negative effects on people. We were also supposed to find a video online about our topic that we could potentially show along with our commercial. I find one story about a woman and she was going to be a cheerleader but then after the vaccine she could only walk backwards normally and talk normally when she was running.

I thought that was very interesting and we could possibly connect it to the H1N1 vaccine but this happened to the woman after getting the flu vaccine.

There is a lot of research on the H1N1 vaccine but I found that most of the negative effects and opposing viewpoint is the same from person to person that talks about it. Not all of it is though so I think the research part of the project won't be that hard to talk about.

Banding Owls

My friend Anna and I had the chance to band owls. For the Wildlife Society, they introduced this event to everyone and we all had the chance to participate. On saturday the 14th we traveled to a forest around Bloomington and met with some people who were leading the banding. First we helped take down the nets and they set up the speakers for the owls to come. What they did is they had a box with a recorder in it and on the recorder was a recording of an owl. This was so that other owls would be attracted to the sound and they would fly around the area and eventually fly in the net. After taking down the nets, we waited an hour and then checked the nets to see if any owls had flown into them. After checking it we waited another 45 minutes. Checked them again, and waited another 45 minutes. After checking the nets that last time we had decided to wait for one more time to see if we caught one. Hopeful to catch an hour we were waiting in the cold just to check the nets one last time. After waiting and checking the last time we were not successful. Even though we had not caught an owl I learned more about how to and more about that specific type of owl.

11/17 group project

Project: 1 hour

As of right now we are doing a commercial to illustrate to the opposite of what people think about the H1N1 vaccine. Instead of thinking that the vaccine is good and that you should get it, we will illustrate the harmful effects it has on people.

We worked on collaborating what each person would do and what we will do as a group. Right now we are, for our commercial, Lauren is writing the script and then me and me and Lindsay will help edit it. For the actually commercial Lindsay and I will be in it and Lauren will videotape it. Then for the editing, I will edit the video and after that we will work on combining the information we all gathered into the speech part of it.

For the research we are all looking up information about the bad effects of the vaccine and then we are looking for a video to go along with the information that explains it.
