Infographic

An inforgraphic is a graph like picture that has a lot of other smaller pictures and graphs in it that display information on a certain topic. The purpose of an inforgraphic is to give a viewer has many facts as possible in a small picture. The best information shown on these are usually stats of something. An inforgraphic sends information to a viewer in a more fun way then just facts. I can use an infographic in class to show how poverty affects the world and use pictures in it.

"Do Less With More Focus"

This quote to me means that when you are super focused it is going to seem like you are doing less work. When you are focused it takes you a lot longer to get something done then it would when you are focused. To me this quote is really accurate with my life, I feel like now that I think about it this me 100%. This in school would really work for me because I would get a lot more done but it wouldn't seem like I was doing so much because I was super focused.

5 Global Social Issues

1. Poverty
Poverty is people living in poor conditions and like not having enough money to live. I would be very interested in researching this project.
2. Education
I know that a lot of  kids who aren't getting the education. I wouldn't be very interested in doing this topic because it doesn't strike me has being interesting.
3. Pollution
I know that there is a lot of pollution in the ocean and in lakes. I also know they're a lot of fish and sea life dying due to this.
4.World Hunger
I know that there are a lot of people living around the world that don't have food to eat everyday and I think this is a major problem because you have to eat to be able to survive.
5. Abuse
I know that a lot of people around the world are getting abused by there "loved" ones and I think that it is a major problem and that it should not be tolerated.

Blog Post

I think that this picture is trying to tell us that the United States is lazy and that they don't care. I also think that it is trying to tell us that other countries are working and learning while the U.S. is slacking off. I disagree with this because not every kid in the United States is lazy and slacks off, there are kids and a lot of them who work really hard and study hard for school. I think from a teachers prospective they would think this picture is accurate because they probably think that all there students don't study and don't work hard. I think that this picture is stereotypical and even if you changed the picture up and had China or India being the ones slacking off it still wouldn't change my mind on this picture.

HOCO Weekend

The week leading up to homecoming I thought was really fun with the spirit week and the assembly. I also had a really fun time at dinner and taking pictures because I was with a lot of my friends. The dance it's self I thought was really boring. I was expecting it to be a lot more fun. I just thought the music was terrible and that everyone just kinda stood around and talked. The after party was decent, my group all went to an after party so I just went with them but from what I hear from other people some of the after parties were really fun. Over all I really was expecting more from the dance but I thought the after party and week leading up to homecoming was fun.

Homecoming

For homecoming weekend I am taking a girl named Reese who goes to a different school but she used to go to ours. I am going in a big group of friends and we are going to go to Lions Gate clubhouse for dinner and pictures. After we eat and go to the dance most of  my group is going to be going to Chase's house for an after party. I am going to leave the after party early and hangout with some people from the soccer team.

Ted Talk

I agree with this TED talk because when you think about it everyone today is constantly on there phones and always using the internet. When I think of this I can remember times where I was hanging out with friends and at times we wouldn't even be talking to each other we would just be texting or on social media. I also remember times where I was sitting next to one of my friends and he text me and we were texting while sitting next to each other. I think this generation and the generation following after us aren't going to be able to have a conversation with other people because they aren't going to know how to talk to people all they are going to be able to do is text. This TED talk really made me think on how much I text and how I am so fuccosed on my phone and also how sometimes I forget that texting and being on social media isn't all that important.

Ted Talk Notes

How to make a good PSA

Making a Psa is really easy and a really effective way to get a point across someones mind. They're are a few things that you need to have to make the psa really effective. The first thing is to make sure you have the 5 W's if you put that it in will give the audience alot of information. Another thing to add the a good psa is music. If you put in music and it flows with your topic it could have a big change in your audiences mind. What I mean by this is if you have a serious/sad topic don't put in super happy and energetic music it won't flow with your project. If you do these few things while making a PSA it will have a much larger impact on your audiences thoughts.
