MONDAY: Photography - 'A Day in the Life Project'

2/24/2014

Collaborative Research/Notes via Google Drive

Today, the students learned about photography. More specifically, they worked with partners and with the entire class in adding to a collaborative document on Google Drive. They researched, gave their own definitions, and provided example images that displayed each term. The terms included composition, rule of thirds, perspective, depth of field, bird's eye view, worm's eye view, macro, and a few others. The grade 7 students, being familiar with these terms from last year, buddied up with the grade 6 students and went to work teaching them about photography. Tomorrow, the students will start documenting, "A Day in the Life of ME" using an object that best represents their characters, similar to the 'LEGOGRAPHER' images.
1.) MATH 6: Any assigned work.
MATH 7:

Complete stock sheet using instructions from class.
Calculate the total value of each of your 5 stock purchases. For example, simply take the closing price of each of your stocks from Thursday or Friday and multiply it by the number of shares you purchased. You must show all your work on paper. Double check your answers using a calculator. If you do not show your work, you will have to redo it. Write down each of your 5 answers in words using the PLACE VALUE knowledge you learned in class today.
Add up the total value of ALL your shares! This means you must add up your answers from your multiplication questions. Show all your work and double check your work with your calculators.
Calculate on paper your highest total value minus your lowest total value.
If you have any questions, post them here and someone will help you with it.

2.) ART:

Choose an object that represents you that you would like to use for your 'A Day in the Life of...' project. Bring it to school tomorrow.
Start taking some images that you may want to use. Make sure you try to incorporate everything you learned about the different skills you need. Refer to your collaborative notes that you you completed in class today.
365 Days - LegoGRAPHER

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

What object did you choose for your art project and why?
Be sure to give a detailed explanation of how this object represents you and who you are as a person.
Bring this object to school tomorrow.

I chose to use my dance show key chain because dance is my passion and the key chain is small enough to use in pictures. It represents me because I dance a lot and I have the same shoe on the key chain, but in bigger form.

I chose my soccer cleats because I wear them 4 times a week to soccer and soccer is one of my passions. I could've chose anything sports related because I love sports and I love being active.

@Mr.Hong- Do you think I should choose something smaller?

Mr. Hong link

I'm using this because I love braiding my hair, and also artsy things. I will use different kinds of braids: Fishtail braids, dutch braids, waterfall braids, french braids, five strand braids and more! I can't wait for this project to start.

I'm going to bring in my tiara because I've always been obsessed with princesses, dresses and crowns. Plus it brings back a lot of memory's. For example when I was 5 my grandpa had heart surgery so when he came out of surgery I wanted to wear my belle dress with a tiara and of course sparkly shoes.

My computer because I know how to use a computer and I know how to use the controls since its easy, not very advanced and technical. It was also very memorable times since it reminds me of when I first got it on my 10th birthday, and used it like it was my kid or pet but mainly my buddy.

I'm going to use a little Lego person with a snowmobile since it's snowing. I'm going to use it because it reminds me of when I got this giant box of Lego with 1500 pieces in it for my 3rd birthday. Also, it reminds me of all the amazing stuff I made out of Lego.
