November Post

For November I've continued assisting Mr. Miller in the ROP class for we've introduced lighting to the class having them work on setting it up and taking it apart. For my independent component I've continued with editing a couple of videos. The first video I worked on this month was actually a video for a presentation; the video was not mandatory but we made it for extra credit and so I was given the role of editing the video in which I spent several hours making. The other video I've worked on is actually the PTSA Silent Auction video, where I was asked to film the event and create a video for the PTSA members. This video also has taken me a few hours. I've been doing quite a lot of editing lately and I hope to do more.

EQ

 1.  I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

• Provide a framework
• Take a stance
• Format
  

·

2.Review the following EQs and

·       -Tell us if each meets the rule of three.

·       -Tell why they do or don't.

a.     What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?

The question provides a framework of studies by asking a broad question that requires in depth research. It doesn’t take a stance because although it allows multiple answers to be argued with, it’s not a specific question. And is formatted in a way all readers could comprehend but lacks depth, meaning it might be too simple.
 

b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

It provides quite a bit of framework for it asks a question that has many factors for it to be answered. Somewhat of a stance for there could be many points to argue from. And is specific but wording doesn’t make too much sense
 

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

Lacks depth of research required because the question is more so opinion based from customers. Doesn’t take a stance because there isn’t much to argue about with this question. It does make sense but isn’t specific enough.
 

 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

The studies for this might require a bit of studying only if you don’t know what an anesthesiologist does. It doesn’t take a stance because chronic pain is different and can’t be best treated one way, it has to be treated a certain way. Formatting is simplistic and vague.

3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.  The senior team will be meeting with students shortly for EQ revision and approval; you are expected to bring your research notebook to that meeting with your EQ draft written inside in pencil.

What aspects of film editing most effectively delivers the emotion of the story?

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection

Content:

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?

I am most proud of my ability to engage to the class because of the topic I’m able to talk about. Even though I was nervous up there and might’ve stumbled a bit; it wasn't difficult to get back on track with what I had and continue talking about a topic that I genuinely enjoy talking about.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.

I think I deserve a P because I met all of the requirements on the rubric. Although I didn't refer to my prop, I still had a prop on there. I felt I spoke relatively well and explained all my points across


3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?

I think overall everything went according to plan, I spoke about everything I wanted to, I was engaged to the class and I felt comfortable being able to talk about what I enjoy 
 

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

I would probably use note cards rather than holding a piece of paper, just so to look more professional. I'd also probably refer to my prop more, even though there wasn't much to refer to, or just in general have a different prop. Probably bring up more examples so that the class could relate, rather than just throwing facts.
