Reflection On Weeks 1 - 5


Reflection on weeks 1-5

Last past five weeks I was creating and researching for my topic “Using technology for art instead of hand drawing”.

I was researching about my topic in Internet and I got a lot of information. By getting much information I have to read one by one and try to summary. When I’m done read all of them and summary it I wrote from my own word and try to explain it again from my own word.

The next step is I have to record my summary by using photo booth or garage band. However, I know people will get bored with my summary because there’s only my voice and they have to listen carefully so then I decided to make a video about “Using technology for art instead of hand drawing”. Well I like to make a video because it’s fun and people will interest with my project. Then the next day I tried to record my voice and put some video in iMovie and record my voice during the video.  

To make it more interesting I have to interview one of my friends in ESL class or the other class. I interviewed people is because so then people know what’s other people opinion and people will know how many people using technology for their art and how many people using their hand instead of using technology.

Now I’m still making the video and tried to interview many people as I can. From now on I’ve interview five people from the other ESL class and I tried to put it in together with the video that I make now.

When I’m finished this project video I would like to share it with you in my BlogSpot “khnswhite.blogspot.com ” so check it out.

The Outsiders Question

a short Summary of the Movie

Basically this story tells us about death but mostly they tell us about friendship but the story has a really good meaning. In this question I’ll just tell you the movie not the novel cause I think you’ll more interested in the movie than the novel. However, before I’ll tell the story I’ll tell you the characters and what are Greasers and Socs. Greasers are a group of poor people but it doesn’t mean that they were really poor, greasers also like to fight and did something illegal. They also have many members, which were Ponyboy, Johnny Cade, Soda Pop, Dally, Darry, Two-Bit, Steve Randle and etc. The Socs (The Social) are a group from a rich family and they also have a rich leader, which was Bob Randle. They also have a lot of member, which were Cherry Valence, Marcia, Paul and etc.

  • He is smart

The new characters
  • aunt and uncle: in this story I think there’s suppose to be an aunt and uncle just to make sure that they have a big family that could protect them.
  • title: greasers and socs


Evaluation- character that I like to spend a day with
i would like to spend a day with Sodapop (ponyboy’s older brother) because in the novel it says that ponyboy really love sodapop because he could take care of his own brother so the I think that sodapop was the one who could I spend a day with.
