Shamara MyStory!

Coming soon! We have started a video all about Shamara. It includes a poem, music, and pictures. We are waiting until next week to finish because Evans needs her computer to add “Shake it Off” by Taylor Swift.

Shamara says that she wants to leave you in suspense on what the poem is about.

 

In the meantime, everyone should watch “Do you know what you’re eating?” PSA!

Katie and Simone 9/30

Today was a prime example of a quote from 30 rock. “There is no such thing as a bad idea, only good ideas that go horribly, horribly wrong”. We had an idea, and it went wrong. So now our podcast is slightly more simplistic, but the script is still impeccable. ~SIMONE

 

Yes, I love your application of that quote, Simone! Yes, today we were able to get our script recorded. After attempting to read it through with two speakers alternating by the word, we ultimately settled on alternating paragraphs. Technically, the word-by-word alteration just didn’t work out–the sound was always off balance. However, we still managed to keep in one part where we speak together–stay tuned for next week, when we add effects and music and post our project!  ~KATIE

The SLO Exam: Podcast Creation

Today, we used the script that we wrote last week to record the podcast about SLO testing in school. Megan started by recording the podcast in Audacity and then played around with editing and music to make our finished project. It took some time to find the right song to go with the PSA because there weren’t that many options on the computer that fit well with the podcast. We’re very happy with the final product!

Dear Jake,

I’m sorry to hear you’re sick!! That like so sucks. But I’m sure it gives you more time to play Five Nights at Freddy’s or Minecraft or whatever you’re doing today. At least I hope you’re having a good relaxing day!

While you were gone, I drew more doodles than I know what to do with. Hung out with Kelsey and Hanna which was pretty swell. We talked about Kurt Vonnegut and the American Flag. Good timez!

I’ve still got out Australian story saved and I shed a single tear when I heard we wouldn’t be able to add to it today. But I’ll balance out that tear with more than a single smile when you get back!

I’ll be done now.

Cheers,

Sam

P.S. Did you get a chance to see The Hills Have Eyes???
