Cadeejah watched youtube videos when she arrived, but quickly got to work when it was time. We worked on her Garage Band project of the cup song by Anna Kendrick, we were able to finish. Cadeejah will reveal her assignment to her family and friends next week.
Today was a busy day, finding 6 different versions of the Cup song, made famous by Anna Kendriks but originally writing by LULU and the lampshades. Learning about the Song was pretty cool, Partner symbiosis at its finest.
Grabbing all the songs with an MP3 downloader sets the stage for a frantic finish next week, to sync up the verses just right.
Cadeejah is proud to be introducing her new CD in progress at the moment.
Catch y’alls later.
Today we were doing a lot of brainstorming about the upcoming weeks for the project. We talked over about doing a film documentary interview type of thing, but decided against it because Cadeejah didn’t want to throw away all the hard work with the different music mixs.
I worked on finishing the Garage band project, and will try to finish it next week. Cadeejah was a little late because she forgot, but its not a big deal, and she enjoyed the day off from school.
Hello and welcome to my story about place and belonging, staring Dariona. I have five photos that really captured my attention. I feel they have many themes, like feeling alone and sad, being scared and trapped, and having a touch of confusion because I could easily identify the ideas within the sub-context.
For instance in the first picture it represents feeling out of place and alone. The little girl, Dariona, is by herself and kind of dirty, which shows her foster parents have abandoned her because they were treating her poorly.
In addition in pictures 1 and 2 both versions of Dariona are trapped. In one picture a girl is inside of a jar and trying to escape because someone put her in the jar, because of the lifestyle that she was living. She is trying to escape so she can be reunited with her family, after leaving her family because she was treated poorly. After she is reunited with her family, another unfortunate event happens. What has happened to our Hero, Dariona.
Dariona finds herself in a scary, mountain plateau nearby a lake of unknown depth, where the creatures are very protective of their turf. She was traveling to a new country because there was a war occurring in her home country, however when crossing the mountain peak; she felt total fatigue of the journey and decided to take a good old sleep. She was awaken by sliding rocks, to find the most scary beast in all the land, but before she could even scream the beast bellowed a roar and made her voice disappear. She couldn’t speak, so she decided to act by throwing a big rock in the beast’s mouth, too give Dariona time to flee and escape not only the War but the beast. However the beast was not done, because it still wanted its meal, spit the big old rock at her. Dariona being acute at listening heard the rock flying and ducked to avoid the rock, and crush the appetite of the beast. She made it clear of the war and the beast to start afresh, trying to put off the terrible memories of the lost of her family.
As for picture number 4, Dariona reinvents herself to be the opposite of her “goodie Two-shoes” life style. She wants to prove that she can be successful without the help of family to define herself to a lifestyle that can be seen as cool. Cool is skipping school, smoking and being part of the counter culture movement.
Dariona has grown up, she has isolated herself with the choices and the experiences she has gone through. As she reflects on the horror of her own family’s death. Her husband was shot in front of her for trying to stop the assassination of the president, but stood up to the CIA heroically, and rather spend the rest of his life in prison away from his children, he chose to make a stand to expose the corruption of the CIA. To protect her family, Dariona, took her family to the cabin in the woods to be safe. But as this is an abandoned cabin there was no food. Dariona being a good mother ran out to a market that happened to be being robbed at the same time. Dariona escaped through the back door, to find her Cabin’s door ajar. Creeping inside, Dariona spotted her children sitting in chairs with silvery knives to their necks being held by evil and deranged CIA Monsters. Sliding the blade across the necks of the kids, cause Dariona to lose all hope, and forced her hand to end every part of her new life with Fire.

I worked on ironing the details on my story, and putting together a fresh garage band to share with my friends and to have a good time.
Also it was dreadfully hot in the room, so we cooled down with some type racing. Typing can really be improved with all the fun little online games. Check it out http://play.typeracer.com/ 🙂
TODAY, on this really, really warm tuesday. Cadeejah was having nothing to with going outside because it is really hot and sticky. The big accomplishment today was filling in the gaps for the story revolving a little girl, who has been named Dariona. The story is being resolved and lengthened to fill us in on her adventures.
In addition, Cadeejah can multitask. Grabbing music off youtube, for her music collection and the MP3 player. After finishing off the downloads, she is working on a fresh mix of songs on Garageband. The base beats have been settled upon, now just time for the over tracks.
So the hardest and most diligent worker in all the classes, was writing her script for the most amazing digital story about place and belonging. In addition to those she explored her writing process and style. The story will be amazing plus we have come up with a idea for a video about the leaves around Vassar because its fall outside and the Colors are so cool.
Cadeejah was rocking the story telling filling up a full page about pictures found off the web then revised the Podcast, filling in the background with a mash up of favorite songs.
She couldn’t even fit her words on the blog post. very productive.
Today we compared two different styles of Hip-Hop. They were old style and new style . I think that new style is better butter Nick feels that it is better.We made a pod cast about this topic and listened to different genres of music on Youtube.
