~Snowboarding~

This year is going to be a good year for boarding. I'm very exited because im going on the ski bus this year. There a bunch of my good friends going like Olive,Cortney,Miles and Alex. Its always fun with them becuase they don't stop and there the ones that like all the jump and box rails those are fun. Its always t a great time up there its not to pricey but i depends on what want up there. The food up there is really good. Its just a blast to chill with my friends and board!

TRAXX

This weekend im going to traxx. Traxx is a go-kart place over in Mukilteo. The reson why i like traxx so much is that you don't really have any rules. The karts go 45 mph it fun stuff. Im really exited because i'm going with one of my friends that lives in town and i never get to see him, His name is Blake. Iv'e known him since i was 3 then I moved up here and i never get to see him. Its sweet becasue he's not a wussy that only go like 4 mph and thats no fun becuase you just lap them. Know Blake on the other hand is crazy he like floors it and go ahead of me and then most of the time he crashes then he just flys right back behide me again. We always have a blast and its a great time.

Stop Frame Reflection Essay

This stop frame animation is about the famous explorer Herando Cortes and about his journey to Mexico.


The most fun I had on this project was making clay figures. It was fun to see what Herando did in his life and plot it out. Then we made scenes of his journey. The thing I liked about Herando Cortes is that he went into the Aztec empire and killed every one. That was a cool scene to make and watch. Another thing I liked is watching other people’s movies to see how they told the different stories of their explorer. I’m also a kinesthetic learner so it was fun for me because I like to use my hands.


The most difficult part of the project was completing all the scenes and clay figures and then taking pictures with little help from my partner. When ever I would stay after school she said she was busy so I stepped up and said fine I guess I’m going to have to do this alone. I got 4 scenes done that day and I was very proud of my self. Another difficult part was that we had to switch computers at least twice. It was hard figuring how to make some scenes but I figured it out. I also had trouble saving it to the server.


The most important thing I learned is that you have to learn to work independently. In this project I liked working by myself because I did better. My partner really didn’t help me, but I still got it done. I put great effort into it also. Another thing that I learned is you never give up and to always put your best effort into your work.

This was a great project a lot of fun and difficult. I put my best effort into this project and I did a good job. Thanks for the fun project Mr. B.
