Ok so one of the engineers and the other story-boarder decided they wanted to switch jobs so what ever but we got all the supplies now and we are slowly working towards our design… some things just aren’t working out and I don’t think I told you that we decided on building this machine with marble tracks! 
For looks this is gonna help a lot but one downside is the stuff we can do with it is a little limited but then again we get a head start on the actual building and efficiency (not that I think that’s necessarily going to help my group no offence) 
The blue prints are going well and I just finished the first version of the background song for the video that I made on garage band… it’s not bad but I don’t know. I do have to make it longer thats for sure since its only about 30 seconds long now. 
I also forgot to tell you that the engineers are experimenting with gunpowder for the project as a metaphor for the Boston Massacre but I don’t know if it’s going to work because … I don’t know but they are convinced it will so we will have to see haha.   

  Hello people so week number 1 went by super SUPER fast and I don’t even know what to say… lets just start off by explaining that we are all divided into groups of 4 with 6 people and from there, two people are architects (drawing blueprints), two people are engineers (actually building the machine), and two are storyboarders (MEEE… documenting the whole thing including the process and holding everything together).
 So now that you got that… We figured out a basic idea of what we are going to do with the metaphors we came up with earlier… yeah except the fact that EVERYONE KEEPS FORGETTING TO BRING IN THE SUPPLIES. Yeah so basically we sitting in class and the only people actually doing any legit stuff are the architects. 
 Anyways week one I would say was a failure for our group… good luck next week.

For our Ethics project, we basically got put into groups of approximately 4 people to have a debate on the topic given (one group per side so 8 people per topic). The topic we were given was Be it resolved that field-trips do not provide an equal educational value to their cost.
 My group was on the affirmative side meaning No they do not. AND GUESS WHAT… WE WON!!!! Yeah it was pretty amazing but in the end we (being both affirmative and negative) were combined after the debate to create an educational video about the topic showing parts of both sides.

We came up with who this video was targeting and decided mainly on who this was all directly affecting being students and youth who are going on these field trips. We contacted officials, researched some online stats and also got opinions from various people and as a result, our video came together to be pretty cool actually!
 We made sure to incorporate both sides and all opinions to create a pretty mutual video. As for my part, the filming was a challenge and the walk to the school was honestly too long (believe me I know) but the interview with the kids turned out great! (Thanks a lot guys ;D ) Hope you enjoy and what side are you on in this debate?! 

Heyz people so now I will be sharing… 9 facts about the Declaration of Independence that (hopefully) you didn’t know! So these will be a straight forward summary of the facts, for more information just google them and you should find lot’s of evidence of the following so lets just get into this casual Blog Post about the American Revolution. 
Fact number one… SO WHO KNEW THAT THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WASN’T SIGNED ON JULY 4TH?! I thought it was but apparently not because July 4th (Independence Day for you states people) was just the day the Declaration was officially adopted… the actual signing would take place around a month later.
Fact number 2… more than one copy of the document existed. Sure there was just one “Official” document but before the signing and after the adoption, overseen by the Committee of 5, took place the reproduction of the approved text. These copies called the Dunlap Broadsides would then be distributed to the 13 colonies to printing presses, officials, troops and others in a high standing. Hundreds of copies were believed to have been printed however only 26 have survived to this day. Most are held in museums and libraries while 3 are privately owned.

Fact number 3 was when the Declaration reached NewYork and was read aloud to the people, all the people broke out cheering and started a riot against the British Navy present. The statue of George III was melted down into 42,000 musket balls for the growing American Army. O.O
Fact number 4, there were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence however 8 were born in Britain. All other delegates were born in America.
And finally FACT NUMBER 5, one of the delegates, Richard Stockton was captured, thrown in jail, and tortured and after many months with small amounts of food and this harshness, he revoked his signature on the Declaration and swore Allegiance to King George III. Broken when he was given back his freedom he took a new oath of loyalty to the state of New Jersey. 
For me after finding these facts, it feels like I’m searching unknown and forgotten things from the past and it’t not necessarily true but the fact that these cool facts are so not well know is so weird because they are amazing yet they were forgotten or lost to many. THANKS ANYWAYS AND GOOD BYE.

As you will see in the following video, we have been assigned this new project on the American revolutions. There were 4 choices and four groups but sadly although our first and desperate choice was the French revolution, no we didn’t get it FOR NOT WRITING OUR NAMES AT THE TOP OF THE CHOICE SHEET. 

Anyways we got second choice and decided to take the american revolution and this is really going to be interesting to see what we will do and how we will make this work.

 We are working in groups of 6 and I decided to be DRI (directly responsible individual) and being that, life has no choice but to get harder. Gud luck to me and hope it all turns out well!
