Personal Essays

-
1. The main idea suggested was that whatever you write about needs to be passionate. For example, a conversational topic that gets you and your reader's adrenaline up is a good thing to write about.
2. One idea that was written in the Opinions section that I should be aware of and remember is to always support your ideas with facts, statistics or real information- not just emotion!
3.

  • Avoid ranting or passionately preaching when writing. Writers want to hear your opinion, not angry complaints!!!
  • Thinking of the essay as a camera lens.
  • Making connections to your personal perspective.
  • Make sure to explain why you feel a certain way so readers can be informed or even be persuaded in some cases!

Critiquing Another Photographer's Academic Shoot

-
https://laurasphoto1.blogspot.com/2018/09/academic-shoot.html I chose to look at Laura's photos! Positive Feedback: 1. I like how Laura captures her rule of thirds picture. The boy has a slight smile on his face and the background includes good contrasting colors. 2. I like how in Laura's photo with the rule of lines the ceiling's lines lead to the girl working on her assignment. The lines on the locker also lead to the subject's paper! Improvements: 1. I think in her avoiding merger picture she could avoid having a merger by capturing the photo at a different angle. Instead of straight on, the camera could be looking down or up at the boy working on a paper.

1. The photo looks curved which can be un realistic. And we don't want unrealistic photos!!! 2. I think the football field by the track because there is a huge field with a big sky and a lot of trees, grass and open land for depth. 3. I can hold a different pose in each picture with a volleyball. In one I can set, in one I can hit, in one I can pass and in the last two I can hold the volleyball in two different poses(staying still with he ball In my hand or on my hip). 4. I could wear my volleyball uniform and put my hair up!

When I woke up, this adorable pup named Ginger licked me! Next, I played with the other pup who came after, Jax! Next, I went to Brown Santa and Wrapped gifts. Next, I used my sunglasses to take a 'mirror selfie'. Next, I wrote poems about my favorite people in my notebook. Then, I played guitar and sang my favorite songs. Then, I went to the Varsity basketball game! Then, I got home and lit my favorite candle. Then, I helped my parents make the cranberries for Thanksgiving. Lastly, I lit the fire and watched a movie and fell asleep!
