major project assignment selection

Prezi

I want to do a prezi about how technology has advanced over the centuries.
I will be interviewing Ricardo who has interest and knowledge about todays technology
and i will be taking pictures of some of the technology around our school that we use.
Also i will be researching how technology has improved and what it will possibly look like in the future.

I will be making a prezi about technology and how it has improved.
This will be an easy way to explain information about our technology and also give a visual aid.
I will take pictures next class of the technology we use around our school when ever i can get to a camera or just use my phones camera and after i take the photos I'm planning on saving my pictures as soon as possible so if not that day the next day.

best photo


Favorite

             In my opinion this is a pretty amazing photo. For one it was taken during a hurricane. This photo kinda gives you a different view than just looking under it. It shows you a birds eye view from the side and you can see where the could is mainly at. Another thing i like about this photo is that you can see the city and the cities lights. If you pay close attention to the lights in the city you can see the shadow case over the city from the hurricane cloud. With the cloud covering half of the city it really helps the other half of the city look even more significant and so bright.

Favorites of 2013


          Counting Stars by OneRepublic is my jam. For sure my favorite song from 2013. Its fun and catchy and it just puts me in a good mood. Especially in softball. ill be jamming out on the field with that song stuck in my head. 


        My favorite movie is a hard one. I would say that my favorite movie is This is the end. I love James Franco and he was hilarious in that movie. Plus all the actors in the movie are really good actors and are really popular right now. I think I've watched it about a million times. no joke, over and over. 



       The news story that affected me the most this year was the fire in Yarnell, Arizona. I lived in Az when this happened and i actually knew one of the firefighters who was my cousins friend. That impacted not only me but a ton of people. It was a big wake up call for especially me just knowing how people risk their lives everyday and sometimes its a risk that was to risky. So because of this i now look up to firefighters more and respect their jobs more.
       

                                                               
                                                                Malala Yousafzai
         Malala was shot in the head by an Taliban assassination attempt. She was a target because she was trying to speak out about bettering the girl education under Taliban rule. After she survived the shooting she started to tell her story all over the world.


    My favorite sports figure for 2013 is Arron Rodgers. He's the quarterback for the green bay Packers. I picked him because he's my favorite figure in the NFL and he's a great quarterback. All season he was out because of a broken collar bone but he played in a game against the lions on Thanksgiving and lead them to victory. 

best of 2013 pictures


This picture has simplicity and i just think its beautiful. Its extremity colorful and the sad thing is this is our ozone layer. So its extremely sad but beautiful at the same time. 

This picture to me is absolutely amazing. I used to live 15 minutes away from the canyon and i could never find a good picture of it that catures its beauty. This picture just makes you feel awed. Plus i would say this picture has pretty good balance.
I picked this photo because it amazes me that this guy is on fire. He is still taking the picture even though his feet are a flame! Thats extremely impress.
