reflection on scratch ( the final one)

On scratch i have finished one of the projects, I did this one about people who cant find friends because they have just came and people are judging them, so i made a scratch programming about a girl who couldn't find friends called May and a girl called April came to cheer her up. I used 2 different backgrounds in this program, one is the school in the playground and the other one was in Aprils room. they both had a conversation between each other. They both began with introducing themselves. Then April asked why May was so lonely and the answer was because she was new and no one would be her friend. I did this to show that no on should judge people at the first sight, and that no one should be lonely. The thing that i found interesting and fun was how you can change the background automatically to show that the scene has changed. The thing that i found hard or tricky is how to control the timings, how many seconds the other person has to wait so the other person can finish talking. The new thing that i have learnt was how you can change the background automatically, because before i thought you can only have one background for the whole project. I am an IB learner because i have used my knowledge on the project and i was an inquirer because i asked questions. I am also organized because i have finished my project in time  

scratch projects ( the final)

story boards

In IT class we were learning about making conversations between two characters on the website or app scratch. I did my story about a girl called may and another girl called April. May had no friends so April decided to come and ask her to her house so they can be friends.  she agreed and went over to may's house. I wanted to do this about two people becoming friends because I think it is right to have friends with someone instead of being a lone. I firs planed on what I should do it about. then I sketched it on a different piece of paper and made up conversation, now i am planning to do the same story on scratch. The thing that I found interesting is when I was working on it on scratch, I like how we can use the different techniques and unique shapes and characters. The thing that I found challenging was the time that was between each person’s conversation, you need to get it correctly or Aprils conversation may be in the way of Mays conversation. The thing that I found surprising was is how you could make the background in many different places. I also like how you can make different sounds to go with your characters very realistic

                                      

Reflection:

We had to do a second story board with a different story, this one is talking about my hobby which is playing football. The characters are the same as my first story. This story talk about a girl who loves to play football but was too shy to play it with someone because she was afraid if they are going to judge on how she plays, so then another person came and encouraged her to play it with her and she agreed, the girl after that scored a goal and the other who didn't want to play football was a bit embarrassed because she lost but then she understood what she had to deal with in life. i decided to do this story because i love football and it happened to me before i started playing football in the girls football team in primary and high school. The thing that i like about this is if i put it on scratch i can learn new things like maybe how you can walk or run, i haven't tried it yet but i probably will sometime. The thing that i was proud of in this assessment is how i used areal life story in it. I could have improved on improving how my pictures look like and make it on scratch more realistic.

 Statement of Inquiry   Computational Creation enables me to be creative

Introduction     In Term 3 we will be working on Scratch programming. This is creative computing and enables us to explore various sprites and commands in Scratch.About MeThe scratch screen comes here.You should also snip tool your codes for the particular screen created

Identities and Relationship

Introduction: 

Why I have chosen Identities and Relationships:

I have chosen identities and relationship because i feel that the things that i am going to be doing about are about my identities and my relationship with my friends and family. I am probably going to do a scratch about me playing football with my friend. The reason that I am going to be doing it about football is because I love playing football. I have played football when i was at a very young age and yet I still play it. But I have had many injuries and that stops me. I will be a lot doing of creative thinking on scratch because I have many ideas I would like to share, and I have learnt a lot in scratch such as doing new things with the characters. I will also be doing lots of research to see what new things scratch can do and have.

                              

Justification: 

 What suits my project? 

Identities

Hobbies

Family and relationships:

All the three things are related because my family and most of my friends are interested in sport, but especially football (soccer). I have been introduced to football because of my dad, i have been trained for a long time, so now i will be taking my hobby to scratch program so i can share it with the rest of the people. One of my identities is playing football and one of my friend’s hobbies is playing football so is my dad’s and brother. Now I will be putting a program on scratch because that is talking about friends. That there is a lonely a girl and that I came and helped her because that before happened to me and we ended up with a good relationship between us. I like playing and doing work on scratch because it is a fun way of showing what you like in such a simple way.

reflection on scratch

what was my inspiration?
My inspiration is to learn how to do many different things on scratch such as the glide changing the background and changing the characters

how did u do that?


what did you get stuck on? how did you get unstuck?
i got stuck on making the background of scratch, but after that i learnt how to do it and ended up creating different backgrounds. I also got stuck on drawing a picture of me  wouldn't want to take a picture so i drew myself .
what are you most proud of?
i ma proud of the moves that i came up with like move 15 degrees left or right or forward and back. My favorite one was the glide. i also liked making the different sounds.
what might you do next?
i could have improved on my dialogue and talking to myself, i could have improved on testing many different new sounds i have only used the drum, but i should have used more sounds to make my scratch more interesting.

Evaluation- Criterion D

For the tech fair Malak and I did it about the photo booth. We did that because we thought it was a creative and simple thing to do. We started by getting the card board box to make the actual photo booth. We planned how it is going to be on a piece of paper so we can see how it will end up looking like. WE then cut a big hole in the photo booth so people can go in it and go out of it. Malak was in charge of the DIY (do it yourself) because she was very creative and loves art. i was in charge of decorating the photo booth itself. After that we got a stand to put the camera on it so it can take the picture or we can hold it ourselves. 
Time management:

We used our time wisely, we could do that because we are close friends and we could go to each other’s house anytime so we can finish the photo booth in time. But we could have spent more time on it.

Team Work:
we have worked well together well and spread out the work evenly. WE helped each other when we ere I trouble and we all put the ideas in the photo booth.  We could have spent some more time together doing the photo booth.

Obstacles to overcome:  

There were many obstacles in our photo booth, especially the most important ones such as the size of the photo booth itself. Some simple problems is what background should be colour it should be because it is for girls and boys.

Should we be in the tech fair?

We would like to be in the tech fair but I think that our standards were not high enough for the tech fair. i think it could be tech fair worthy but i find it hard to talk in front of people about the things that i did.

reflection on Flyer

                                                                    REFLECTION 

Rania, Arthur and I did a flyer about RAM which stands for (random access memory.) we did the flyer on Arthur's computer, Rania researched the basic facts about it and i researched of where it could be found and we both of us researched interesting facts about it. Arthur loves to play games so he is like a gamer, he knew almost everything about it, he has used his prior knowledge about RAM. i have learnt many things about RAM such as what does it stand for ( random access memory) and that it is very important to have it in your computer, because if you do not  have it you may not be able to have many tabs open at the same time ( if it is in a computer) and that it is the most common type of memory found in laptops, computer and other devices such as printers. I would like to improve on working faster in projects or tasks or at least finish it by the time that is given to you. We have worked well together in our groups, we have communicated, we collaborated and we spread the work easily between ourselves.
