Turning bad into good- Final project

REFLECTION
During this quarter we have been learning about Science fiction. We have been looking and reading many short stories by an author called Ray BradBury, who often writes in this genre. Reading these stories help you get knowledge about how to write a Sci-fi story and what they should include. Most of the Sci-fi stories include futuristic technology and always leave a message. For the quarter final project we created a story based on Sci-fi elements and after writing our narrative we turned it into a digital story.
At first we create our traditional narrative. We when through a long process, first taking notes on Sci-fi to learn what is needed to identified a Science fiction narrative. As I said in my introduction we have also analyzed Sci-fi stories to learn more about the genre. Then we brainstormed ideas to chose a topic of what to write. We plot our story knowing what was the raising action, the resolution making this and easier way to made the 1st draft. After making this draft we peer edit each other stories to make corrections and revised it, finally we printed it.
Then we go through the second step of the project, which was passing our writing narrative into a digital narrative. For this step we needed to brainstormed ideas for sharing digitally, chose the program to present our narrative. After that we made a story board imagining all of the scenes we wanted to include to represent our narrative. After that we created the project. Both of the narratives had similar things such as the same story and for both you needed to plot your story and make and story board. But inside this narratives you can also find differences, one was written the other was digital also to represent your narrative in a digital form is very creative.
For my traditional narrative it was hard for me to choose a topic about what to write. Also I have many ideas but I didn't know how to connect them. One of the things I like about writing my traditional narrative was creating a story with a social issue. For my digital narrative at first I didn't know what program to choose for making my video, so it was hard for me to select and application. But what I really like about making this digital narrative was expressing my imagination and share with other my story. Finally for my personal opinion I really like this project and I think it was fun.

Candy
The significance of this topic for me is that candy represents energy, is to take life a little more sweet to enjoy it, candy represents color and joy. The reader should know and understand before reading this sonnet, that candy is not just something you eat. It represents a little bit of happiness in an small piece of caramel.
1. Cotton candies are as fluffy as clouds
2. Some are soft, some are hard, big and Little
3. People scream for sugar in giant crowds
4. They dissolve and explote, crack and brittle
5. But for me candy is so delicious
6. Candy, colorful large and quite sticky
7. Sugar can make you crazy and vicious
8. It brings you happy and dizzy quickie
9. I eat it night and day, its just my fuel
10. Until leaving the package way empty
11. I dont even bother taking to school
12. So tempting even in an assambley
13. That is why candy is my happiness
14. Is my badness and my only fatness

Editorial
Granadino snack bar is
selling different types of snacks. Most of the kids prefer un healthy food like
potato chips, candy’s, and many more things. The un healthy food may affect many
kids at various ways such us being hyperactive and getting obesity problems.
Being hyperactive on class is a big problem it can cause lack of concentration,
taking the students to a risk of falling quizzes and test. Obesity problems are
getting higher. So why we don’t start preventing this types of problems? For
this and many more reasons is why I think snack bar should provide different
types of fruit to sell at recess and lunch, to make a healthier habit at the
Granadino students.
My first reason of why I think this changes
need to be made, are because they can cause many problems. If students don’t
know how to manage the amount of money there parents give them for healthy
snacks. One of the biggest problem is being hyperactive by the amount of candy
consume, which can cause big lack of concentration and can distractive for the
other students which are trying to have a calm learning environment.
One of my other reasons is obesity, for this you have to had an
active sport section, although this won’t be enough. A healthy snack can made really
big changes. If you continue eating un healthy snacks you will be getting the
weight you lose making your sport. Remember is not to get obsess with the way you look, is just to get a
healthier habit to prevent several problems at the future.
.
I think that fruit is very important because it contains lot of healthy nutrients. Like different types
of vitamins A-B-C. Also eating fruit is much better if you don’t want to get fat. Your concentration will improve because fruit contains natural sugars which are good for you, for your body, and
brain. Studies have prove that most of the people with a healthier habit have a
better performance on their works.
To start implementing this idea I think a
campaign would work. By telling all the reasons of why fruit is healthy, and
talking about her benefits. Also talking with the director so like that she can
accept this type of proposal, by making some changes if they are needed or
giving extra ideas. This type of proposal needs lots of coordination to plan
where the fruit is going to be buying so like that the store can sell it, and
finally trying to push the students to try good eating habits.
To conclude I think that life needs to be
enjoying with responsibilities, you only live one time. Life is a gift, you
should have fun with all your friends but if you don’t have a healthier life
then your gonna be living with problems and Im sure you wont like it. If you want
to life as older as you can a healthier habit would show a big change. ¡SO LETS
START WITH IT - AND REMEMBER FRUITS ARE GREAT, HEALTHY, NATURAL NUTRIENTS!
