3/31 NCAA Reflection

In our class competition, I have learned so much about basketball, March Madness, and how brackets work. I have never filled out a bracket in my life prior to this class. I had no knowledge about seed placements, how good each team was, and how the brackets work that I kind of put down random teams for my bracket. However, the bracket made me more aware of the games going on during March Madness. I wanted my bracket to do well, so I watched more basketball games than I have ever watched in my life. I may have to do another bracket next year because my bracket this year was terrible. I learned how to use formulas, merge cells, and use color to make my spreadsheet more fun in Google Sheets. I had to visually make my bracket in Microsoft Word because Google Docs was a little to frustrating for me to use. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project, and I'm a little more interested in basketball now.

Blog Post 3/30

I have many favorite movies and TV shows that I love that I don't know if I could pick one. If I had to pick a movie I'd pick Clueless or The Help. Clueless is about a 15-year-old girl named Cher living in Beverly Hills, California and what her sophomore year at high school is like. The Help is set in the 1960's during the Civil Rights era. The movie focuses on three main people: Aibileen Clark, Minny Jackson, and Miss Skeeter. Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson are the colored help for families in Jackson, Mississippi, while Miss Skeeter is a young white college grad who wants to write for a living. These three characters join forces to help fight against the social injustice facing African-Americans in their community through the power of words. Unfortunately I don't have much time to watch TV shows with all the dancing I do, but I totally recommend to watch Downton Abbey. This show is based on the privileged Crawley family in England during the time of the Titanic to 1925. The show follows the outcomes of the choices of not only the Crawley family, but also the maids and butlers of their house, Downton Abbey. The show matches very well to the history of what was actually going on in that era of time and they have great character development for everyone in the show. It is a very good show. I highly recommend you to watch Downton Abbey, Clueless, and The Help.

3/21 Spring Break

I had a super fun spring break. After we got out of school, I flew to Arizona to start my spring break. I went to Arizona with my friend Libby, my mom, and Libby' s mom. While we were there we went to a Royal's game, hung around the pool, and even went to a rodeo on our last night. It was a very relaxing and fun trip to have. The mountains landscape of Arizona was so pretty and cool. We stayed in Arizona for about a week. Once I came back the rest of my spring break consisted of me hanging out with some of my other friends. I also applied for a hostess job at Ted's and Yaya's. This past Sunday I spent all day at dance rehearsals which was really tiring and exhausting. Then on my last day of spring break I hung out with my friends for a few hours and then took my sister to lunch. Once my day was almost over, I went to dance again. I got back into the groove of my dance schedule and we are now preparing for competition season. Now I'm back at school getting ready to finish my 4th quarter of freshman year.

3/02/17 Infographic Peer Feedback

I loved going and seeing my classmates' infographics. All of their projects showed what they were passionate about, and that was very cool to see. I reviewed Lexie B's, Miranda O's, Jack H's, Kenneth S's, and Lauren S's infographics. All of their projects were so informing, organized, creative, and colorful! They were all visually pleasing to look at, as well as getting facts and statistics from them. All of their topics were different and special too. No topic was used more than once for each of these five people. Lexie's was over wedding dresses, Miranda's was about softball, Jack's was about his rec basketball team "Cut Squad," Kenneth's was about back to school money spending, and Lauren's was about the gender divide. The projects were all so unique and creative! As well as being creative and unique, the projects looked like actual infographics you could find from the web. They are all organized and look so professional. These were some of the best infographics I've seen!
