My Response

 I already transferred all my reflections on to my google doc. I also already finished my tables of evaluation. All that I need to do is to do the survey to test the movie.
     The IB learner profile that I showed the most during this process was knowledgable and thinker. I was a thinker by doing what I can, and if I had any problems I would try to solve them myself. I was also knowlegable by using my time wisely.
      I would like to improve on being more of an inquire. I tend to have a lot of questions, but I only ask like 2. Whenever I do that I can never understand what we are doing and how we are doing it.
      From a scale of 1-6, I would give myself a 5. I was positive and I always worked in every part of the way. Eventhough I did accomplish a lot of things, I know that I could of made it much better if I had more time.

Today I accomplished a lot. I am already done with my slides and my pictures. Today I also added the music. Right now my song is by Linkin Park. I think it does go with my movie because it like the same tone. I would give myself a 5.

Reflection

Today I finished all 10 slides. I already have all my facts and all my pictures. All I need to do is just add my music to complete my movie. I would give myself a 5 because I didnt plan on finishing, but I did and I didnt get distratced that much. Yay!! Im done!

Reflection

Today I give myself a 10! Today I accomlished many things. I added all the pictures to the slides and I added more slides. I'm almost done! Today was the day I accomplisherd a lot, more than I knew I cpould.

Reflection

Today I would give myself a 4. A 4 because I did accomplish some things, but not as many things as I would of liked to do. Today I just tried to add pictures, but I only added one.):

Reflection

Today I think I did ok because I know I could of accomplished more. Today I would rate myself a 3. Today I just focused on trying to fix my movie and the little mistakes it has.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Reflection

Today I think I was more balanced and more of a thinker. I was balanced because I tried to add more facts to my slides, and I also tried to fix the slides that were messed up. I was a thinker because whenever I had some problems, I tried to slove them first instead of asking for help. I believe thos were the mai 2 IB learner profiles I was today.



Friday, February 3, 2012

Reflection

So far I have alredy completed 5 or 6 slides of facts. Now I want to add pictures. I still have more to finsh though. From a 1-6 I would rate myself a 4 because I know I could of accomplished more today.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Reflection

So far I have completed about 3 slides that are just facts. Next time, I want to finish adding the facts and then add the pictures that I want. I would give myself a 4 out of 5.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Reflection

 Right now I'm at the end of the plan part. I am already finished with the table and the Gantt Chart. Both are on my google doc.  I am about to start on the create part, which means I will have to start to record the movie. I have advanced a lot so far, and if I keep working the same soon I will be done with everything.

Tijerina's Essay

Celebrity Behavior: Good gone Bad
            Why are people more interested in celebrities bad behavior than good behavior? It is
interesting that celebrities bad behavior gets more attention than news about politics and news
about what is going on with our country and government.  Celebrities bad behavior is covered
more in news stories than positive behavior because it is more exciting, people make money out
of it, and good behavior is expected.
            First, bad behavior is exciting because people like seeing famous people mess up and
make mistakes. When Lindsay Lohan breaks the law, all the attention is on her, but when she
helps a charity, no one seems to care about it. According to Mania Beyond Entertainment, " A
women claimed Lohan had stolen her clothing from her home while she was away ",even a little
action like this made all the attention go to Lohan (2007). Even though Lohan tried to clear her
name, people still bothered her on her actions.
            Secondly, the people who actually put up the bad behavior in magazines or news stories,
they are the ones who are making money out of it. When famous people make mistakes, and
TMZ puts it up for people to see, they are the ones making money for all the attention it gets. In
2011 TMZ stated, "Drew Barimore  caused a stir with her neighbors last night when her loud
Halloween party forced them to call the cops  and complain." This article made TMZ lots of
money.
            Finally, people tend to expect good behavior from famous people, so that is why
whenever they behave bad, it interest people a lot. Because people tend to expect good behavior
from famous people, whenever they behave bad, everybody wants to know about it. T.I is a very
famous and well-known artist so when "Rapper T.I was arrested in September 2010 during a
traffic stop in Los Angeles and was charged with felony drug possession" (OTRC 2010).
Because he was well--known, this spread rapidly around .
            The reasons that celebrities bad behavior is covered more is because it's exciting, it
makes people money and because good behavior is expected. It is exciting because people like
watching famous people mess up and make mistakes. The people who actually put up the bad
behavior for people to see, they are the ones making money. Because good behavior is expected,
when celebrities misbehave it interests people a lot.
