This semester I am part of a computer science class and a few days ago we just finished making a game on a website on scratch. Scratch is a website where you are able to code your own game or you can play other people’s games. At the beginning of the semester we started to code and we were told to make a walk cycle. The walk cycle is where we make a character (or in a scratch a sprite) and we would have to make it walk onto multiple backgrounds. It was really simple all we had to do was make it so that when the dog walked to the end of the backdrop and it will change. If you are interested to see it here is the link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/359797340
A week later we started working on a game. Our objective was to inform the person that was playing the game about viruses and diseases. My game is you trying to fight off these diseases with a cure that you have and you can change how fast it goes. I am still trying to finish the game but if you want to check it out here the link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/363493440

In math class, we are in a unit and we are learning about sequences. I was gone for a week so I was in the pit the moment I started. I had no clue what were geometric sequences nor arithmetic. I was so confused. The next day we started taking notes on this stuff and after a while, I started to get the hang of but I still had questions, such as what was the difference between geometric and arithmetic. I also didn't know what the common difference was and the common ratio. But like I stated before we started taking notes and I asked questions. I did all I could so that I was able to catch up with everyone and understand what I was learning. Now thinking about it more I feel like I should have gone to the teachers and asked for clarification. Later on, I finally was able to understand everything. During class, we were given a packet that had worksheets in it and helped me so much because it had many different problems and it helped me understand the subject a lot more. Some questions were "Determine whether the sequences are arithmetic or geometric.", and "Use the recursive formula to complete it." I also learned that subscript notation was very important in this because if you just wrote "AN" that would mean something else and it wouldn't make sense.During art class, we were assigned to make a poster of a quote that we chose. I chose a quote that said “Don’t go through life, grow through life”. That quote was from Eric Butterworth. Before I started working on the poster I did a sketch of the quote and then I added a plant that is inside a pot because I thought the perfect way to portray this is by drawing a growing plant. The reason I chose the quote was because it stuck out to me. I really liked the quote because I could just imagine someone giving advice to someone else when they are going through tough times. The person that made this quote was Eric Butterworth (which I have stated before) and he was an author and he had about 16 best-selling books such as “Unity” and “New Thought Movement”. He was born on September 12, 1916 and passed away in April 17, 2003 I changed a few things from the sketch that I did. I changed the pile of dirt into a pot and I made the plant a little bit bigger so that it can fit the poster better. Next time I am doing something like this I will try to add more detail and more organized. |
