Today I saw that we finally have cabins, and now I realize why Katlyn has been bugging me to make things bigger.My booth is Athena and Ares so the major themes are battle and strategy. I made a cool backdrop for my cabin that looks like two rolled up maps. I'm working on making a huge map and pinpointing battle grounds. I have discovered that I will need a bigger table, and a bigger strategy board, but I am totally on that. Dani brought all her supplies for the weight room to make the attic, and I can't wait to see it completed. As for Katlyn's booth, it is really cool seeing the three pedestals, and the real skeleton bones. Sean has been doing a great job with her drawings, and her satyr and D-Dog booth, and even stops by my booth to help me tape something or hold something while I do something else. Mollie unfortunately was not here today, and I'm worried that she will have to do a lot of work on Saturday. I believe we have accomplished a lot today because we have all our supplies, and we are going to work extremely hard Saturday as soon as a few of us get back from Band Contest. We will definitely get this thing done by Monday.
Reflection of Visual Literacy Project:
When I first heard of this idea to decorate Ms. A's room with the themes of the Percy Jackson series , I was okay with it. As we started reading the books, I enjoyed reading them and comparing them to the one Percy Jackson movie. I knew that this huge project was going to be a little challenging because one person may be more creative than the other, and other classmates might ruin all your hard work, but I didn't really think about that too much. I just worried about reading the books, but soon we were done reading them and had to start on this project two weeks later. The AP class decided we didn't want to decorate the English room, and so we discussed many alternatives for about a week. We discussed doing a project as one big group or two small groups. Finally, it was decided that we have boys against girls. The boys doing a movie and the girls recreating Camp Half -Blood. I will have to say that this has the been the most stressful project this year. It seemed like we had all these problems with the weight deck and how the school was going to put up a net, and how we were going to move it to continue with our project. Finally we clarified that we are doing our project on the weight deck. We have all our supplies and we are going to get this done. Overall it was an okay project, but I had a few problems with my creativity, and the amount of time needed to work on the bringing the supplies and make the posters, and pictures. I still somewhat remained calm throughout these couple of weeks.
