Describe creating and filming a music video, in detail. Did you enjoy making the music video more than the past videos? Did the rubric help you? explain. What is the easiest part of filming? What is the most difficult part of filming?explain. Who was your leader and how well did they do? Out of all your group members that you have had, who has been the best leader and why?

It was awesome, we had fun both dancing and being awesome. Yes I did. Not really. Kelsey but I wish poon was because he poons. Poon was. He was a great leader and an inspiration to us all. I was very happy with the performance he put on camrea and off camrea. You can tell that he really had a good time, and that he put so much effort into his work. I am very proud of Poon, and I hope I can be able to make videos with him even after history class. Thank you poon, thank you for being awesome throughout this semester. You poon, you poon.

Did the writing assignment help you learn about the French and Indian war? Did the writing assignment help more than the films that you have produced or seen? Is there anything about the French and Indian war that you have a question about? The next subject we will be learning about will be the consequences of the French and Indian war and the problems that started the American Revolution. You will be making your last movie starting friday. Over the weekend you will have to get together or discuss with your group the lyrics. That is your homework assignment and will be worth points, of course! Would you rather be able to choose your genre of music or your topic?

Yes. Yes. No. Cool. Cool. Cool. I would rather choose the genre.

I know that it is Thanksgiving break but you still have to blog! After reading the article tell me one interesting thing you found about it and why you find it interesting. There will be a writing assignment attached to the French and Indian war. It can either be a formal two page paper OR a blog entry 600 words or more. Which would you rather do? Each assignment will focus on a chosen character's (list will be given upon return) point of view of the war; using historical events. You will have time in the computer lab to work on both. Compare one aspect of your thanksgiving plans to those who would have lived during the 1700s. AND Have a wonderful break!

I thought the part about redigcs was amazing. Cool. Cool. Cool.

What is your opinion about the test on Ch.4S.4 and pages 126-128? What topic do you have for filming? If you could create a film based only on your idea and had group members who agreed to do your idea no matter what. What would your film plot be?

It was a test. I have a cool topic for filming. It would be about a group of people who are trying to film about the topic, so we would be filming ourselves trying to come up with ideas and saying facts outloud, and then saying "oh, why don't we just use this?" lol.

Name an early colony in New England, the date it was established and a short description of the colony in the 1600s. Do you think you could have lived like the Puritans/Pilgrims in New England after learning about their daily life and customs? Why or Why not? Wednesday of next week will start filming again, do you look forward to filming? Film topics will range from pages 131 to 144 (not including p.143) Glance through the pages and choose one topic you might be interested in learning more about and why?

Conneticut, 1639 and they built boats and fished. I would not because I am spoiled with an american life. Cool. I liked it all.
