I think that it is hard to think about  what teacher goes through to try to help the students with their education. I think he is trying to say that he is ready to challenge the kids no matter how frustrated or mad they get. He wants to push them to overcome the greater adversities to come as they grow and have the strength to push through every problem that might occur later in their life.  The main point is to put more pressure one students to succeed in school and have that will to push through.

My groups stop motion project is a coke bottle rolling down the hallways then spinning down the end of the hallway and finally rolling into a trash can. We basically went down the 400 hallway and started about halfway through it and reach to the 600 hallway from there making it into the trash can.

April 17, 2015

What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).
If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.
In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project?
What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning. 

1. It was about a baseball traveling through different obstacles around the kitchen table. I thought it would be creative to try something different from what I originally planned to do. I didn't know if it would be easy at first, but once I got the hang of the process, it was pretty simple. I basically did most of the setups while taking the pictures and I made it work the way I wanted it to be.  
2. I would give my project a 8 because my obstacles were creative and that I made it look like a actual obstacle course. 
3. I would of put more obstacles in, spread out my obstacles a little more, and Use a more wide open area. 
4. I would say my obstacles where creative and probably putting a smile face at the end made it more unique. 
5. I think my project deserves like a 80%-85% because I didn't think I put a lot effort into it with not spreading my project out. I do think I made the obstacles more different from one another and that I made it seem like the baseball was enjoying the obstacle.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go. 

I would say I had a pretty good weekend and it wasn't as bad I thought it would be. I had rugby game which wasn't as bad we were playing the Rockhurst Jr. Blues which are the number 4 rank team in the nation. I thought we were going to get destroyed, but surprisingly we hanged there for a while until they broke away. I also got to hang with some my friends and managed to make some money working for my dad. So in the end it was a pretty solid weekend. 

April 7, 2015

Tell me ALL about what your idea is for your stop-motion animation. I need detail. Who is going to help you take photos? What props do you need? Where do you plan on shooting? EXPLAIN everything.

I decided to change it up by putting a baseball on my kitchen table and putting it through a bunch of obstacles. I start at the end of the table, put a bunch of obstacles, and then make its way to the back to the end of the table. Then at the end it will smile real big knowing that it made it past all those obstacles. I do not need any help on this, but if I did I would have my brother help me.

April 6, 2015

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

This weekend was good I worked and made some good money this weekend. I also had a rugby game that went really well, but sadly we lost. I had good game I scored and made some good break a ways through the last half of the game. It was a excellent game for my team to build on as the season goes on.

What Maximus does each day!

What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it. 

I love that I can go outside and enjoy the beautiful, warm weather. The best thing about it is that rugby season rolls around during this time which makes it perfect because who doesn't play in warm weather. I can go on runs outside and not on a treadmill and get the grill going with some good food. Puts me in a better mood and makes me very happy person.

March 29, 2015

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.  

Yes and I was able capture some interesting pictures around the school. I did Most of them at school, but I managed to do some at home. There are a lot ways to create a good picture with any setting and using a simple object. 

March 27, 2015

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest? 

I know that it is considered art depending on the editing and detailing of the picture. I take take photos on occasions when I'm on vacation or some other big event and I usually take pictures with my phone or digital camera. Sometimes because editing can make the picture look better or worse. By filtering just to make it look really good and I don't really have any background knowledge  of photography because it doesn't really interest me that much. Not really intrigued by it, but curious about photography.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos! 

I went to Cancun, Mexico and it was really nice there! I got to drink legally and chill on the beach all day and the best part of my hotel was that everything was inclusive. I did a lot activities like play soccer with the locals, zip line, snorkel, and cliff jump it was really nice. I had really good time and I wish I can go again!

Prezi

March 11, 2015

What are you doing for Spring Break?  

I am going to Cancun, Mexico and I can't wait it's so exciting. A week on the beach and relaxing by the pool sounds more fun than staying at home. I am going to try surfing, cave diving, and wind surfing I literally can't wait.

March 9-10, 2015

Tell me about your weekend. 

Well my weekend was good and all my rugby teammates came to my house to do team branding. I really didn't want one, but they forced me to do it and now I have a brand of a X. Now I have to live with a giant scar and I so regret getting a brand. 

March 6, 2015

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why? 

Probably look like a whole new school setting and I would have a giant office where I have enough room to play golf, basketball, and have a giant flat screen on the wall. I would have less assemblies and give more time for the students study during tiger time. I would also change the vending machines to regular snacks that are not to healthy and not to fating.

Tell me about your weekend. 

I basically stayed home because I couldn't really do anything because of the snow and my car can't really make it in the snow. Once the snow melted away a little bit I went to the gym and my family celebrated my sisters birthday. I would say it wasn't to bad of a weekend, but I wish I could of gone to Tulsa for a rugby tournament.

Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos! 

Over the weekend I had a rugby scrimmage against Shawnee Mission Northwest rugby team, and we had a little rough start at the beginning. Once we got our passing down we started clicking and making good plays. At the end we came up short, but we fought very hard till the end and gave us a better perspective on what we needed to work on in practice.  

 

February 20, 2015

The perfect curriculum for me would be business because one day I want to own my own business and have the opportunity to learn about how to get started. Each class will be the steps to what it takes to own a business like financially, socially, publicly, and advertisement. We would study how a business grows throughout the years. By looking at companies that started out small and see what they are like in ten years. It would be something that I want to pursue and have that chance to have a successful business. I don't want to take classes that are required for graduating, nor do I want to waste time finding my true calling.

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective? 

I think this cartoon is trying to say is that Americans are more interested being on their phones and being lazy, instead of focusing on education. While other countries make education more of a priority than spending time on their cell phones. I agree that we need to take are education a little more seriously because it creates a image for the U.S. that all we do is play on our phones and do nothing. A teacher or adult would look at like "why do you need to be on your phone"? It's just the way they look at the younger generation.

February 10, 2015

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not? 

It means to me that do less work, but more more energy ant time into it. By looking for simpler ways to do things, instead of doing it the longer, harder way. Don't over think on the homework or project, but look for the details that will make school work a lot easier which can really help you in the long run. I think so because it can be something simple for the students to get engaged by focusing on the less work given. It would, but I always liked to have a more complex way of doing work because it gives me more of an idea to do the work given to me.

February 9, 2015

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share.  

Well I had an okay weekend because I had rugby practice for 3 hours and had to work for 6 hours. Sleeping in is what made my weekend okay, but I got to spend some time with  my family and got to see my grandparents for the first time in 2 months.  

February 6, 2015

Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.) 

So far I learned that there is more than 100 million homeless people all around the world and I didn't know that there were so many homeless shelters and organizations. it makes me feel that were not doing enough for these people and we should for seek more help.

You haven't had a chance to tell me about your Sweetheart weekend yet - tell me about it now! Include photos if you have them. Even if you just laid around on the couch and watched Netflix, tell me all about it. 

My weekend was tiring because I had to work and I had rugby practice too, which is also tiring! On the other hand, I got to get some good workouts in at Lifetime and I got sleep in for the first time that weekend to. So my weekend went pretty well and I always enjoy spending time with the family.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"? EXPLAIN. 

A tool on the internet that allows you to send messages to whatever how many people. I use email to send assignments to myself, teachers, friends, and other things. Email makes things very simple for us by sending a message easily with no hiccups. we use email for a number reasons, but the main goal is to send a message. A very explain message that gives you steps on how to write a proper email.

You never know where life will take you, but that's the beauty life by just showing what direction it will take you. Hopefully if I make the right decision i will be on the right track to a great life.

January 27, 2015

Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives. 

I would understand why people would be against it and they probably see that they did it to themselves, but they see it as a issue that shouldn't be concern because leading to homelessness could be a number of issues that could be the cause them to live on the streets.  It's a issue being pushed aside because we don't have the money to help them get back on their feet and start living a normal life. We never know what kind of problem that could lead them to be homeless and we have a bunch of other issues to be more concerned about.  

we see homeless shelters everywhere trying to help people who loss their homes but we choose to focus on other issues that can be easily resolved when people are on the streets suffering to get some food or a place to stay. It's a issue that we need to focus more on and have more concern for the people facing this issue.

January 26, 2015

Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue?
What do you want to know about this issue?
Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.

I know it's a issue that we are not focused on and that homelessness is a bigger issue than it seems that is why I think we should tend a little more focus towards that. I want to know what leads them to homelessness and why they choose to live on the streets. I believe it is a issue that we are avoiding and I seen homelessness everywhere which makes feel guilty for not helping at all. I just want to see the reason why it lead them this far and I want to help.

Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain. 

To make it believable and realize that it is a real issue. Make it a serious issue to follow up on to show that it is not just affecting you but others. That will just give facts about it, but not doing anything about it and it would just be pushed to the side.

All theses kids are on their phones all the dang time and they never go out side to play. When I was kid that's all we did was play outside until the sun went down and now kids don't do anything but stay inside to play on their play box. You know I would like to see them without their phones for a day to see what its like without technology at their fingertips.

January 21, 2015

What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail. 

A PSA is a public message that raises awareness, changing the public attitudes towards a social issue. Basically to raise awareness to public to a certain issue. By making the issue seem realistic to the viewers by demonstrating a actual incident that could happen to you. By telling them to be aware of the situation and be careful what you do and my PSA is based on teen drinking. I ant to show facts about how underage drinking cannot be only harmful to you, but to others as well.

January 20, 2015

Tell me all about your 3 day weekend. Share photos! 

I basically worked all weekend and hung out with friends over the weekend.  I probably washed over 500 cars the 4 months I been working at Waterway and it has been a wild journey to get there. Also rugby just started so I haven't getting much rest with work mixed with in my rugby practice schedule. So that was basically it for weekend. 

January 16, 2015

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can. 

Well if you didn't know I am half Korean coming from my mom's side and I am also half American too coming form my dad's side. I enjoyed my time here by being more involved in extracurricular activities. I play rugby for Blue Valley and I have been playing since I was freshmen. I am currently a senior and I plan going to KU next fall. I hope to finish this year strong and move on to better things. I love all my classes so far and I like all my teachers so I don't really have a favorite.

January 8, 2015

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself. 

This article is sending a message to teenagers by just telling us not to sit around all day and actually do something with our life. By helping around the house or just do something to help the less fortunate, it doesn't matter what you do just do something productive in your life. I understand what it means because I do stay in the house all day and I should be doing something productive, but after in being school all day all teens what is stay at home and rest. I know that one day we will be on our own, therefore, we need to be more active and involved in things just to get a little head start in life.
