To get background research on my final project, I interviewed my mother. She gave me basic facts and knowledge of some of my family members. Next I interviewed my grandmother. She gave a lot of insight into my family past. To get some more information, I sent an email to my dad. He didn't respond but I had enough information. After interviewing my family members, I made a family tree which is here. Since I collected all this information, I was able to create two projects which is down below,

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.
For Thanksgiving, I'm going back to Michigan. I leave Tuesday and will be back on Saturday. I'm really excited to see my family and my two best friends. It felt like it's been forever since I've seen them. On Thursday, I have to go to my grandmother's house on my mom's side, my aunt's house on my dad's side, and then this hall thing on my mom's side again. It's a lot in one day! And early in the morning on Friday, my bestfriend and I are going Black Friday shopping. I'm so excited because this will be the first time I've done it at 3 in the morning. And that's all that I have planned!

Tell me about your weekend.
Tell me about your weekend.
On Friday, I opened my birthday present from my parents. My birthday was on Tuesday but since my dad has really crazy hours, we celebrated it on Tuesday. Anyways, my parents got me a new computer. I was so happy and shocked. Before I could open it though, we had to go out for dinner. For dinner we went to Jose Peppers. I just wanted to finish my food so I could go home and mess with the laptop. I was disappointed with the laptop though because most of the keys weren't working. We went back and got a brand new laptop. The keys on this was working but it didn't recognize wifi. So we took that one back, got a new laptop with a different brand. I was so happy to finally get the laptop that I wanted and it was touch screen. and this is the exciting things I did this weekend.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

The experience was okay I guess. I didn't really understand why we have to take pictures in a computer class. It was kind of fun doing it though. It was really hard making sure that the camera was steady and stayed the same through all the pictures. Another difficult thing was taking a picture, and then moving and then taking another picture and moving something. Next time, I would try to use a tripod so the process wouldn't be as difficult.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
Stop motion animation is when you make and animation that can not physically move seem to move. You see this in many different cartoon and animated movies. What I do know is that you have figures and you move them around slowly with a video recorder or camera. When you change the angle or position of the figure, you record or take a picture of that little piece that you moved. For example, the movie Chicken Run is stop motion animated. The characters and the set was made of some kind of clay.

Tell me about your idea for your 5 frame story board. What is the plot? How do you plan to make the story creative? Who's the main character? What is the beginning, middle and end? Tell me about your plan of attack.
My 5 picture story board is me getting a milkshake and drinking. It is not at all interesting and it is probably pretty boring. I wish I could make it really interesting , but I just don't know how to do that. Getting a milkshake isn't very interesting but it is the best that I could come up with. The main character in the story is me. I honestly don't understand what mean by plan of attack but I think some of the images I took looked really great.
