Intellectual Goal

Hey everybody! Hope you all had good weekends. Mine was really fun! Tomorrow is Monday though which kinda stinks but oh well. It is homecoming week so that will be fun. Tomorrow is college/gradeschool shirt day. Ok so we're supposed to blog about our intellectual goal this week. Lit is definitely my hardest class with Mr. Laird as the teacher. We had a test on Friday that I'm pretty sure I did not do very well on. I guess my goal is just to study for all of my tests. Its also to do all my homework and keep up in all of my classes.

Newsletter Project

Hey everyone, we have a new assignment in our computer class. It is a newsletter about the upcoming homecoming activities. We get to choose our own groups. There are three people in each group. Each person will have to write a small article about something going on during the homecoming week. My group hasn't started yet, but I think it will be a fun project. We have some good ideas and can't wait to get started. It might be kind of hard to get started on the project, but once we get going I think it will get easier. This project seems much easier thant he past ones we did like the keynote one.

Emotional Goal

Hey, Our new assignment in class is to write about our emotional goal for the new school year. We are supposed to base it off of the mission statement in our planner. It says to honor the sanctity of human life, of the individual, or God, and of the mission of Peoria Notre Dame High School. It also says to strive to develop our school community and each person in it. My goal for this year is to do these things that the planner at Peoria Notre Dame says.

Saint Powerpoint Project

I think this project is much easier than some of the other projects we have been doing. The Keynote project, for example, is much more challenging to figure out than this powerpoint project. Today I finished putting all of my information into the slides and finished adding all of the transitions from slide to slide. For some reason I am having trouble copy and pasting pictures onto my slides though. Whenever I go to paste them the web address of the picture comes up instead of the picture itself. Hopefully I can get that figured out. I like this project because I understand more of what I am doing.

Spiritual Goal about Mission Statement

Hey everyone! The new assignment we got was to write a spiritual goal for ourselves based on the mission statement in our planners. The mission statement reads "The purpose of Peoria Notre Dame High School is to nurture the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of our students by: Teaching the Catholic faith and leading students to be Disciples of Christ and Teaching the arts and sciences in a climate of academic inquiry." After reading this my spiritual goals are to take interest in my churh history class this year and learn something that I didn't know about the Church or about God that I didn't know before.

Storyboard

In computer class, we all have an assignment to do with the Keynote program on our mac computers. We were told to choose a song and complete a storyboard for it. The storyboard has to be one and a half to two minutes long at least. I chose the song "So Small" by Carrie Underwood. So far, it has been pretty easy to think of pictures to put on each slide. This part was easy, but I am a little nervous for the part where we actually have to put in all of the transitions and add in the music. The finished project should look pretty good though. The project has definitely taught me something about the new computers. I had never used a program like keynote before and it is something very different. Overall, the class is still fun and keeps me busy.

Welcome to my blog!

Hey. Welcome to my blog. I am making this blog because it is an assignment for my computer class this year. At first, I thought making a blog would be difficult, but as it turns out, it was really pretty simple. We have done a few other projects like a paper about banned books and a few spread sheets. Overall I am somewhat enjoying the class, but I don't understand the project we are doing right now. We have to take a song and make a kind of movie to go along with it.
