Podcast Reflection

After creating the podcast I was really proud of the fact that I finished it and that everything sounded good. My voice was clear and I really liked my script too. The haders thing though was probably the script itself. Trying to make it sound formal yet relaxed and not like I was a robot spouting off facts no one was going to need was infinitely harder than you would think it was. if I could I would clean up  the interview I had with Mrs.Trainor. When we interviewing it was break and she wasn't feeling ell and the entire math department as coming to her room in a few minutes so it was rushed and certain answers weren't easily explained but there was no time for follow ups if I wanted answers to certain questions. The interviews although slightly shaky turned out pretty well. In the interview I had with Alisha although you can't see it the two of us were holding back bits of laughter and the entire thing was more of me asking her questions about her life before Singapore.  Since we're friends the interview was calm and quite funny when I stumped her with my questions. (Um was her favorite word for that time. Interview Clip 0:00-1:30) When I interviewed Mr. Robertaccio there were certain answers that he gave that maybe should have been elaborated on even though they were full of information so I payed attention and asked follow up questions to make sure that the questions were answered to the full extent. Maybe next year for the incoming 8th graders the teachers can see what time of year is the less stressful. We had so much homework in the two weeks that we were doing podcasts that most of us were trying to piece together our podcast late the night before it was due. That one change could make a difference in some kids grades.

Tripod Mug

Tripod mug Insert pre fire photo here: Construction What skills, techniques, or process did you employ to create your mug? I used the reductive technique. I carved out designs into the sides of the piece and worked my not all the way up it. How does your final construction look? Also describe the difficulties in construction. My final construction is a little lopsided but other than that I think that I really like how it turned out. I struggled a little with the undulation of the mug and the lid but in the end it turned out okay.

I think it turned out a lot better than ...

Final Reflection

CERAMICS FINAL REFLECTION Photo of final glaze piece Final thought on the best parts of this piece. Project 1 I thought that the best parts of this piece were the inside glazing and the small diamond detail I added to the front. I actually put a lot more care into these parts than any other part of the piece and I think that they ended up turning out better because of that. Project 2 I liked how the details on the body turned out  on this piece. I used slip trailing to get it to look the way that I wanted it to look. With the glazing it pops a little and I’m very proud of it. Project 3 I used the mug for the first time and I got really giddy and excited because, “Oh my god I made this alkshfla.” I really liked how the glazing worked with the carvings I had. You can see them clearly on the bottom but they’re more obscured on the top and it gives it this really cool effect. Project 4 This shoe was difficult but eventually I got it mostly right I t...

My Independent Writing Project: The School of Fighting Arts Against Demonkind

Author’s Note Dear Reader, The idea for this may seem a bit strange at first, but I urge you to give it a shot. It’s not as weird as you think. It came to me in the middle of class while I was discussing a different topic in a critique group. So many people at SAS are mixed, part Asian, part something else; I began to think: what if there was a girl just like that in a story? And, of course, not just your typical coming of age story where the girl finally comes to terms with being half one culture and half another. More of a girl who knew who she was but was held back because people were scared of her. And thus the character Amani Kearny was born. Writing her was fun and after a certain point, it was like I wasn’t typing. There’s a certain way Amani talks — loads of sarcasm along with the barest hints to what she actually feels— that makes her feel like a lot of the people that I talk to on a daily basis. Which is most likely why it was so interesting. If I had...
