week 3

A few weeks ago me and my partner Nadia started this type of healthy diet and challenges, but the day we did a video mentioned in my last blog (week 2) and when she left, she left to go eat some burgers with some friends. Therefor, I was alone till last Friday and my other group member told me that she would like to do the diet thing with me, which made me feel like I wasn't alone again. Even though we haven even started sharing ideas or meals we will work on that this week. This week I will also have to edit the video of our short healthy recipes with the little we got recorded from our two cameras. Sadly I do have a lot to do this week especially with this class which includes: blogs, edit video, update website, 30's protects, etc.  Although I will try my best to finish everything with my best effort and at the right time.

Week 2

Last weeks project was a complete success!!! Everything went as planned everybody brought their ingredients for all the recipes. Surprisingly we had my house all to ourselves which was a great experience, because we didn't have to worry about being loud or making a mess in my moms kitchen. Andrew and Nadia did a really great job while they explained and performed the recipe. Although, we didn't have a forth member to record us as we where hoping to we had to take turns recording each other recording.Sadly in the end we weren't able to record our reactions, because fist of all one of my cameras ran out of battery and the other the memory was full. I still have to edit the video so I can post them on our website. We are also thinking about making an instagram so we can post easy recipes and short workouts.

week 1

This week I discussed with my group about what could we do with our project. We where worried that there might not be anything else we could do with our project. I thought about doing healthy recipes and meeting up with my group at my house so we can try out some recipes and take a video and record us making the recipe and our reaction with the results. We could each bring our own ingredients so it wont be too expensive and we can divide our effort. We will be inviting one of our friends so she could record us so all of our group members could be in the video. Although one of my group members wont be able to attend this video due to after school soccer practice that is sadly keeps her away from most of our meetings, but she does help us a lot . After we record our progress I will then edit the video and post it on our website.

week 8

A few weeks ago we interviewed one of our friends Kristy. She talked about how she dealt with her stress about school, family, and relationships. She also gives examples on what she does do avoid it. Once Alex downloads and send me the videos I will then edit them and also combine them with other people's interviews and then I will put them into our website. Today we got an idea on what to research about and do interviews on which is test anxiety. We got this idea from one of our group members, Andrew. He was telling us about how stressed out he was because his grade depended on that test. Therefore we are planning to do a little bit of research about that and also find out how to prevent it or help it, because if one person feels this way and wants help then maybe many other students may also.

Week 7

After getting our results form the students who have taken the survey, we where pleased to know that 14 people have volunteered to get interviewed. Although only a few responded to my email to clarify that they still want to do it, but for those who have replied to my email I asked them when they would be available. Though we are still going to follow Ms.Ruger's advice which is to stay patient and wait for these students to respond to my email. Today we interviewed Kristy and she answered a lot of questions about how she deals with stress from school work and how she deals with her relationships. After Alex sends me the video I will edit it and add multiple of people in one video, but I will also divide each video by the type of stress they talk about. Within these videos they will be giving teenagers advice on how to deal with all the type of stress and also give an example on how they deal with it themselves.

Here is a screenshot from the data we obtained from our survey.

Week 6

Today we finished the last touches to our survey and posted it on our website. Our English teacher Mr.Lee, had his fourth and fifth period take the survey, which is going to really help with the data we need to make a graph and post on our website. Mr.Lee also suggested that next week we share our survey to our third period class, which I'm sure we will do. With the data on our surveys we will be able to use that data to help us write an article for our website. Our website is not fully developed yet, though we are planning to do some research on recipes and more about how teens could stay fit. We are going share our website to our classmates once our website is fully developed. I plan to take pictures of people while working, of food  from the recipes, and some of my teenage friends to make my website a bit more interesting and unique.

Week 5

This week we started creating a survey that consists of ten questions. This survey is being designed to get feedback from students asking about what causes them stress, about their eating habits, and about how they tend to stay fit. We are discussing how we are going to give these surveys to students and also which students to give them to. We're thinking maybe we might ask our English teacher Mr.Lee, if he could pass out these surveys to his students. Therefor, we'll be able to not only have feedback from juniors but also from sophomores. Throughout our group we shared ideas on how to spread our website. For example, we'll start telling our friends to check out our website so they could tell us what they think and what they would suggest we could change or fix. We are planning to record more interviews  of people to upload to our website. We also need to find more topics to write about or to research about to post on our website that could be useful for teenagers. Here is a link to the first interview we have done. Here Mario Hernandez answers all the question we have asked him about how he stays fit while in school.http://youtu.be/JNXyMk4JtVs
