Week 11

So this week I can say that we did more progress compared to others. We finally decided on who's doing what and when we are doing it. Although Andrew has shown no interest on helping at all. It's true that he finished the final touches for the video, but that's just because I had to talk him into it to make sure he actually does something that we can present. Anyways I was reading over the blogs of my group members and I realized that Andrew has been lying about talking with us, he has no idea what we are doing and I have tried to include him in conversations but he's being rude and disrespectful lately. I understand that my relationship with him is not as before, but I'm not letting it get in the way of my school work like he is. If I hadn't made him do the final touches on the video I would have kicked him out already due to his lack of effort. Although I wont be that mean, because I don't want him to fail. So Nadia, Alex, and I have decided that Alex will start the prezi and do the outlines, so then I can go on and put in information and not have to worries about designing it. I will include screenshots of our website and a trailer of our recipe video. In the screen shots I will separate them by each of our projects. I was also thinking of including what each of us leaned. For example I learned leadership skills as well as organization skills and how my group members each learned how to use technology a little bit further.

week 10

This week me and my group members did absolutely no talking in class about our project, but I have some ideas on how we will be doing our presentation for our 20% project. I want to make it inspiring, entertaining, and funny. I'm planning to include a little trailer of the healthy recipe that we did and also show the progress that we have done in our website. I will have to edit some stuff on the website or I'll tell someone to do it..Probably Alex I trust her the most..Shh. After I finished the last blog, I went to go look at the recipe video that was finished by Andrew and I wasn't able to open it. I think its probably because he didn't publish it like a movie, even though I told him to. Well I will have to discuss that with him tomorrow. Hopefully I remember and hopefully he does it correctly.

week 9

This week me Nadia and I discussed what we will present for our 20% project. We came to the conclusion that we will discuss a little about our teen health website and then we will show a piece of our healthy recipe video.I haven't really done much with my group they don't seem to be as enthusiastic about the presentation as I am. They seem a little down due to all the testing and school work even though this is also school work, but oh well. I have tried my best, but sometimes I don't wanna try to hard enough to force them..I feel like I have to hold their hands to finish something..Which I guess I'm OK with since I don't want our group to fail. So, with that said, I plan to get ideas from my group members to contribute to the presentation. I don't think there's anything else we can do. Since we already made the website and published it and we made a healthy recipe video...Which reminds me that I have it finished... I'll post it in the next blog or this one...Anyways this weekend I will focus on the presentation and try to think of a way to make it funny and entertaining even if it i have to embarrass myself in front of class. I will team up with Alex to start the presentation so we can take turns working on it and sharing ideas, because I don't know what's been going on with Andrew lately and well Nadia doesn't have stable internet so we tent to just share ideas in class. Even though we have all
separated a bit i will try to put the pieces together for the sake of our grade and for the success of our 20% project.

week 8

Sadly I haven't done anything with my group.We haven't really talked about anything about our 20% project. I feel awful, although I know other groups anything either, but I still feel bad, We where doing fine up til the whole testing and the CST, AP, and SAT.....These test are what have made me so stressed out and unorganized. Also its not just in this class its in most of my classes that i have been lagging on I've mostly been trying to focus on my AP Spanish class..Anyways about the project I have recently made up my mind that I'm not going to do most of the work anymore. I have decided to ask Andrew to edit the final touches and do some voice overs for the video on the recipe. Since he doesn't have SAT or AP tests to worry about like me and Nadia do...So, I hope he does as he promises and doesn't let the group down..Also hoping he does a good job..

week 7

These past few weeks have been the most stressful days in my life. I have been the most busy and worried I have been ever. I did say in my last blog that I will do the final touches and I have failed to do that. I feel very awful about that, I am sorry. So this week I will edit the video and finish it to post it here and in our website. Everyone in my group have been really busy lately, but we have to think positively to keep on going witch I will be doing when i talk to my group. I think I have learned a lot about a lot of stuff while doing this project. I would also really like to know your opinions on the video on the healthy meal recipe. I think my group members would really like to know as well as I.

Week 6

Last Friday we planned to finally editing our videos and also to start organizing our stuff (videos, website,blogs) to sum it all up to complete our 20% project with the help of our teacher's shared document(thank you).. Today on Monday Nadia, Andrew, and I met up at my place and we did extraordinary progress. I still cant believe the amount of work that we got done. Today I showed Nadia and Andrew how to use Microsoft Movie Maker which they learned fairly quickly and they started editing on their own right away which was very convenient to me meaning I didn't have to do all of the editing this time. Thankfully my mom bought us pizza so we where full of energy,although this is a teen health project...(we are Hippocrates) Although we did get much done today I still need to make the final touches like the into and the last part of the video to sum it all up. Which I will try to do tomorrow, because today I want to spent some time with my mom but, tomorrow I have this after school class till 6. So hopefully I'll still be awake to finish the video so I can post the link here below.

week 5

I've finally convinced Andrew to start on his work out although he is barely starting today. This week I didn't really have any time to talk with my group about what we are going to do this week So I suppose this week I'm going to focus on my own fitness. I believe my partner Alex will also like this idea of doing this in like a group sort of thing. So I supposed we could start by writing down what we eat. Also I got this new black bored so I can create a calender where I write down what I eat and write down the work outs I plan to do that day so I can keep track of what I do or what we do in a group. Since my parents never supported me on getting a gym membership due to them not believing I can be organized or actually due it I guess I'll have to start out by doing my workouts on my own with no machinery. ...I wonder what the rest of my group is doing.. : /  May look something like this.
