Evaluations

This Blog entry is a summary of what I think about the reading assigned to us, pages 120-126 in the Norton Reading book. This chapter is supposed to prepare us to for a film evaluation that we will be doing over the next few weeks. It starts out with having us read an evaluation written about Dawson's Creek. After reading the evaluation I like how the chapter breaks down the Key Features to an Evaluation. I was pretty intrigued through all of that, but then started to suffer on the next part. Not that it was not good information, it is just early in the morning and I do not want to be reading anything to do with homework right now! haha. The last page was helpful with two graphs to show ways of organizing an evaluation, and I really liked how it had a place where you could go to different, sited, spots in the book if you needed more help. I thought that was very helpful.

all done!

We just got finished posting our blog to youtube and on here. I'm pretty happy with our final product! I think we are going to find it a lot funnier than the people in the class, but still I had fun doing it. Now we have to work what we are going to say before and after the video, which is pretty hard I don't really know why we all have to talk for like a minute...but we will get it done. I liked this project because we got to be independent and work outside of class. I hope we get to do more of these in the future...

almost done...

Our project is due tomorrow and we are almost finished. It went pretty smoothly and I think we all had fun filming it. We chose to do a video because we thought that it would be the most fun to do and watch, and keep the interest of our viewers. We had some problems the first time that we filmed, with the camera, because it kept cutting off the last few seconds of everything. But after we figured out it was doing that we re-did all the filming and it was much better the second time. At first our group didn't really get along but by the end we got along fine! we are finishing up the last touches!

Our Video English Project

We chose this subject because as freshman we wanted to see which restaurant appealed to the upperclassmen around Ball State's campus and why they liked it!
