How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

I am about 3/4 of the way done with my infographic.  If I keep going at the same rate, I should be done by the end of class today so I can embed it on to my blog.  I have used my time wisely .  I have taken a lot of time on my infographic so it is quality work.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

We brainstorm because it makes the final draft easier.  When all of the information that is going to be used is in one document , all we need to do is put that information into the final draft and work on making it look good and presentable, which makes the whole process easier and faster.

Yesterday I introduced you to infographics... tell me again what they are and how they are used? What is the benefit of an infographic? What goes into an infogrpahic?

An infographic is a way of displaying information visually.  They are used to help people get information fast and in a fun way.  The benefit of an infographic is that information is appealing to readers.  A few of the things that may go into an infographic are facts, pictures, quotes, and statistics.

School Shootings Paper

My global issue paper is over school shootings.  School shooting are a sad occurrence in which gun violence takes place at an educational institution.  Sadly, they often occur in death or injury.  Although school shootings are very rare, they are still a big problem in today's society.

Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.

I have finished two paragraphs so far. My paper has been hard  to write and has taken a long time.  It has proven to be very helpful to have an outline while I write my paper.  Normally I don't use an outline, but I probably will use an outline for papers more often now that I know how helpful they can be.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

This weekend I did not go to sweetheart, but I did watch a very disappointing KU basketball game.  I also went to the movies with my friends and saw Ride Along.  Even though my friends thought it was a bad movie, I really liked it.  I slept in Sunday morning and then went to volleyball practice.  Then I watched the Superbowl and got to bed early for school.
