Evelyn Glennie

What is something that struck you about the video of Evelyn Glennie?

This struck me because she was so good at teaching us how to listen and play instruments. That it was so hard to believe that she couldn't hear at all. It was amazing to me that she could teach some one how to listen without being able to listen herself.

What did you notice?

I noticed how smooth her hands moved when she played the Marimba and how cool and mellow it sound and made me feel.

What did you enjoy about her performance?

Something I enjoyed about her performance was when she played the Marimba on the top row because it made me think of the movie Mulan.

What is something you will remember about the performance?

Something i will remember about the performance was how she tought how to play the drum only because my little brother loves the drums and i have to listen to them all day and night so that's something that really stood out

technology

The topic i will be focusing on is technology mainly on cellphones and how they affect the world today lets start with TEXTING .I feel this years generation will have the hardest time spelling only because we spend so much time using text language every day we tent to write this way on homework and important documents.
Cell PHONES are very com an and almost every one has one its almost like we cant live or function without them most of us have our e-mails set up on them and our music to were we need these on at all times and we need them in our pockets just to feel the comfort of having it there.
I came across a video on youtube on how when your phone rings and your head is by it is this what its doing to you????http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJlv9HHJyAo&feature=related

If watch this it makes me think twice about putting my phone on that night stand
I think in 2012 we will the most craziest phones you have ever saw (as if we haven't already)
I don't think there are any obstacles except for how bad the economy is and people might not buy the really cool phone that are very expensive

prject description

The blue prints- Jadon and I made the blue prints which consisted of how we made our boat and how big it was

Description- Jadon, Mitch, Briana and I all worked really hard on our boat for the Kushiets which we thought would have helped them allot more with trading. MAking the boat we had to consider arcamedias principle to make sure that it would float propley with out sinking because of course we had the biggest boat out of every one

Process- The process of making our boat was to make sure we had all the right measurements to make our boat the same size meaning we needed to use a ruler and power tools. the power tool part was really fun to me because it was the first time ive ever done somthing like that.we hade to caulk all the whole so the water wouldnt get into the boat and sink. Another step was to make our sail which wasnt as hard as I thought

semster goals

2. Go to office hours even if I'm not failing or on a contract
3.always do my best at everything

how I'm going to get there: my first step on achiving these goals are making sure I pay attention in class and don't get distracted

origin of zero

What strikes me is how it explains something that is not really their, but in actuality it is there but just used as a place holder. How i decide who discovers what is some one that has studied something for a long amount of time i feel they know what they are doing and since every one to this day still uses the same technique. The zero comes from Sumerian Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago.The person who came up with the concept discovers how to use it there for the person who discovered it but didn't know how to use it makes the whole number and y they discovered it useless.
