Hello, this is my spring SLC blog post, over this year I think I’ve done good work, I’m really proud of how my metaphor machine and the movie turned out. See: https://www.blog44.ca/joelh/2015/06/15/the-machine-is-finally-finished/ I think I really improved using explain everything See: https://www.blog44.ca/joelh/2015/03/23/trains-learning/ as start of year example and https://www.blog44.ca/joelh/2015/05/26/cuban-revolution/ as end of year example. I didn’t totally fail my goals, but I didn’t totally complete them either, see: https://www.blog44.ca/joelh/2015/01/20/conclusion/. I think I did pretty well, it’s just they were a bit broad, so I completed them but not was fully as I could have. If you have questions, comment. Thanks for reading

This is my groups ethics video. It is a video debating the ethics of Zoos. There was an in class debate to go along with this, and was way better than this video, but the video is still top class, you should just ignore my acting skills though, I was never meant to be an actor.

The metaphor machine was a great project to do. I learned so much about the American Revolution, and about simple circuitry, and though I had trouble with me teacher and my group, it was a fun project and I hope that we get to do more like it next year.

The blue sky project was a lot of fun, even though my first draft failed, my second one played decently and it wasn’t that bad looking. It was a nice change to be able to do anything, and there were some really cool projects. In the end, it was a really fun project, and I think it will be more fun next year. Here’s my finished double harp:  
  

I’ve hit some trouble, I didn’t tune it. So back to the drawing board for me lol. It’s going good other than that.

So my project is going well, I’m going to make an instrument, a double harp. So I’m going to take two harpish type things and put them together like a double guitar. It’s going great and I’m just starting construction and its gonna be awesome.

My teacher is being fine now, but my group is being terrible, we’ve got the overbearing dictator trying to control us, the two guys that say they’ll work never do, and the other members are fine but I’m still pissed. Like I thought my teacher was bad but my group is way worse! So angry
