My Name Is Brandon Murray

Hello.  This is my final project for this year.  It is all about my family history  I have a very interesting family full of a lot of interesting people.

First I interviewed my parents.  Which I learned a lot from that interview.  Then I emailed my Grandpa.  On my Dads father.  He also gave me a lot of interesting information.  After that I added some family members onto my family echo which is filled with a lot of my family members.

Then I did a prezi which is posted below which included 15 of my family members.  Later on I did an infographic, which included a lot of information (statistics) about my family.  Last but not least I did a five frame storyboard.

I agree that people are spending way to much time looking at their phones, computers, etc. instead of communicating.  And it is really bad for us.  But some people meet their wife online and that is how that life takes off.  I think that we use our phones to much, but the phone has become an important part of our society today and that we shouldn't worry about the cell phone use as much.

Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think that this teacher did a great job of trying to get his students to understand that he cares about them and school is not as hard as the real world.  School is just training you to be successful in the real world.  I think the main event is what you do after school in the real world.  The main event is also never quitting and also fighting for yourself and what is right.

Reflect on your stop-motion animation project. How did it go? What worked? What didn't work? If you're not finished - why? If you are finished go in to detail about the project and what you learned. Give as much detail and information as possible.


My stop motion video went really well.  It looked really well when I played it.  I think some of the pictures could have been taken more clearly.  But that is not a problem for me, It still looks good.  I am finished.  I learned how to make a stop motion video.  My project was me roaming around the school in a swivel chair. Which was very fun.

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE?

My idea for my stop motion is a tour of Blue Valley high school given by yours truly.  I have not started taking photos but my plan is to get them done today.  My plan is to walk all over the school and give you a tour of the school.  I will have somebody take my pictures for me.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

Stop motion animation is when you take a bunch of pictures and then you put them all together so that it almost look like a video.  I think that it is very cool.  I have done some before and it takes a lot of work.
