it was fun and very intresting to do. it was also very hard to come up with different lyrics for the song. yes i did. yes the rubric helped me. the easiest part was just filiming it. the most diffucult part was coming up with ideas. lisa was our leader and she ddid very well. lisa because she has the best ideas.

one thing that i thought was intresting was that Dinwiddie and the Virginia legislature agreed that French rejection of British demands was a hostile act, and that the french must be driven from thier frontier forts. I think that i would rather write a two page essay.

Film making has become eaiser because after filiming for a couple weeks you get use to coming up with ideas fast and working together to make things work. We don't really have that many problems anymore but sometimes it's hard to figure out what were going to do in our film but it's getting eaiser...yes the videos enhance the lecture. Katrin was ourt leader this time and she came out with most of the ideas this time and she was an important speaker in out film this time. I don't really know who i would like to see as the leader of out next film... I think that we have all done a good job being leaders during filming. I would like to make the films more intresting and funny:)

My opinion about chapter 4s 4 and pages 126-128 has a lot of information and it explains alot and helps you understand alot about what you are learning. I don't know what topic i have for filming yet.... i dont really know what my film would be about if i could pick a topic... but i guess if i really had to pick one i would want make a film on Itilian history :)

an early conlony in New Engaland is New York. New York was still small and had many opportunities for those who wanted jobs. New York sold a lot of things because there are so many stores now as there was back then. No...because it seems like it would have been boring back then. Yes i look forward to filiming next week. I dont really have anything that i would rather film about. im sure any topic we get will be fun and very intresting to film. :)

My rating for the power poing would be a 4...I don't really know why but I think it's because im not really a big history person and it doesn't really catch my attention. There wasn't anything that i really liked or disliked this week i thought that everything was about the same although learning about Jaques Cartier and Samuel de Champlian was fun. i would have been apart of jaques Cartier and all those people because to me they were more fun to learn about and i understand it more than the other ones. My group did not have a change but if it did then i think that it would have been going good because the girls i work with now have great ideas and are very easy to work with. I love my group! :)

I would give our film a 6 becasue we could have been a little more creative and done some more things with the film. They did not distract me at all. No because i think that we did good with the subject we had and we had fun with what we did make on the film although it took forever to come up with something to do...Ummmm..... i don't really think that after the lecture i wanted to look up anything it was pretty much all gone over in class.

Yes we did find it a little difficult to think of an idea this week for the film. I work well with both of my group members there is not one that i work better with they are both the same... very easy to get along with and get ideas from. Lisa was our group leader this time. She did very well although it was a little hard to find something to film this time. Yes I feel like we had enough time because if you keep coming up with ideas as you go along it is way eaiser. My role was coming up with the idea for Lisa to find a boyfriend so i said that she needed to try speed dating. If I had more time i would have tried to be a little more creavtive with me role.

I don't really remember alot about the lecture in class...Yes i do look forward to making historical films for the next section film making is way better than just sitting in class it is more intresting. If we could add one person to our group i would have to pick Randy because he has some really good ideas and can make the video funny and intresting at the same time. He is a really good person to work with because he is very creative!

The video planning in my group i s going pretty good. We have all worked together to make things a whole lot eaiser and understand excatly what we are doing. Yes I enjoy working with Lisa and Katrin they are amazing people and very good people to wiork with they help out alot. The meaning of our group name is the name of an island in New York.....No we have not had many problems using the equipment. The only thing we had a little bit of problems with was figuring out how to delete videos that we not needed. Other than that we have been doing pretty good.

My first impressions of early American History class are good. At first it was a little hard to pay attention and take in all the information. But then I had started realizing that if I dodn't pay attention and listen to all the information that I was not goint to pass the class. I want to learn about wars and what had happened before i came into this world. And how much different it was than it is now. Taking in the information and paying attention all the time.

i think that this class is going good so far.
