We currently wrapped up the 9th week of school, woo! Difficulties this week: SPORTS CHANGEMAKER I had difficulties this week on our Sports project. The deadline was DONE BY FRIDAY! And so I was really stressed out by this. One of my partners was doing the essay and I was in charge of doing the documentary. I was lacking in resources for the documentary and we needed so many things, I had to record both of the songs, edit the film, and I also needed the narrations for the film. I entrusted my other partner to do the narrations for the documentary but they didn't give me anything by the end of the day. I was forced to narrate it myself. (I'm sorry but I have to mention this it's necessary) It was really overwhelming, the amount of things I needed to do for the documentary. It was even more burdening when I had to do the work that someone else was responsible with. It was already enough editing the film, and writing the song, and being in charge of the whole documentary itself. But it was stressful when my partner said they couldn't push through with their part of the project. I ended up finishing the project but it took a lot of cramming on the last day. I should've worked harder over the week but it took more time to do things that weren't my part. Sports Change Maker: Here is our documentary and our essay. Our essay is still getting critiqued and edited but we are working towards getting a 1000 word essay. Successes this week: I was able to do a weekly challenge this week which was something I had put as a goal from the week before. I was able to successfully finish something, the documentary, even if it super crammed, I still think it was a decent project. Goals for next week:

!We currently wrapped up the 8th week of school (woo)! This week we had one text given to us (Seminar included) and we also spent a lot of time to work on our project. Immanuel Kant Article: This week we had a text on Imannuel Kant. I found it extremely interesting, which helped with my performance in the Socratic seminar and such. We had 40 pages and we were required to have reading logs for 20 pages. Reading a text that long in one week was difficult and it made our seminars really long. Project: This work our project time was sort of cut shorter this week due to other class work. On Monday we had to present what we had for the first week of projects. On Thursday, we had to present our prototype end product to Matt. It was difficult to get things done this week due to other things we had, and there was some confusion within our group on whether or not our idea should push through. We are currently working on our documentary. Two interview are scheduled tomorrow during lunch. We have a lot of footage from a race and from Mike teaching, now we are working in sections. Sammie - Currently interviewing people, writing specific questions for interview Annika - Writing a score, helping film and interview, editing documentary prototype Andrew - Scheduling, in charge of contacting interview people, interviewing as well Successes this week: I feel that I had a good seminar this week, and I believe that the text this week was the most interesting text that we've been given. Or at least for me it was. I feel like I was able to contribute to the seminar a lot more this time since I was more interested in the text. I felt more confident when I spoke [p=-[p Difficulties this week: Our project group had a hard times getting done this week. It was hard getting interviews done and it was hard scheduling things with other people. Last weekend we doubted our ideas and wondered if our Mike documentary was really good to do for the project. We had to expand our project to HTH Teachers making a difference in our community, whilst playing sports and stuff. So we figured that out, but still interviews were difficult and some were pushed back. It was also hard doing project work at the same time as class work (article annotating, reading log, etc). One of my group members couldn't do project work because they had unfinished class work to do, the class work was limiting our project work time. Goals for next week:
