Reflection

survey




Today, I created a survey monkey with questions that ask about how my movie helped and was it difficult or not. I also created answers to help me know what I need to change in my movie. I also made a link so that people can enter it.

Reflection on imovie

            Today, I started my imovie and it went well, but I had some difficulties since it's been a long time since I have done an imovie. I think that I should work on it more, so I will work on it on the weekend. The background turned out to be well, and the text, but something I need to work on is the time or seconds on each slide. All I need to finish is writing the facts and effects or information on each slide. Therefore, I need to work on the things I need as fast as I can to finish my project on time. In conclusion, I need to spend more time on the information than on designing.

Reflection

           My grades turned out being really high for quarter 3, and I'm very delighted with them. I have a 90 in technology, a 92 in spanish, an _ in math, a 93 in social studies,  _ in art,  _ in P. E., an 81 in ELA, and a 93 in science. This made me realize that I made a great job in this quarter so far. Therefore, I must keep on studying so that I can maintain these grades and pass this quarter. In order to have a higher grade for the year, I need to work harder on math and ELA due to having an 80-89. In conclusion, I will work more on these classes since they are lower than the others. In order to improve in math I will turn in every assignment I haven't turned in, study more for tests, and ask the teacher for help if needed. In order to improve in ELA I will redo the assignments that I have a low grade on, take notes on the things I need to improve on, and try my best every day in class.

Johnny Depp Is a Hero

Being a hero takes a lot of guts, and celebrities are considered heroes as well as police or fire men are in reality. Heroes are role models, such as celebrities, that risk their lives for others and care for them as well. One celebrity that shows this kind of behavior is Johnny Depp, a Holly Wood actor, and demonstrates this in various ways. Johnny Depp is considered a hero for the things he has done for others, being a respectful person, and loving and caring for others.

Johnny Depp is considered a hero because he saved 6 people’s lives. Johnny was making some scenes for a new movie that was coming up soon, and a stunt driver accidently sped up. There were 6 others that were turned around, facing another way, and [he]”slammed into the group… shoving them all back.” According to Holly Scoop, “an eyewitness tells British news, News of the World, that this had taken place.” This shows that he is a hero and cares for other people as well.

Another way he shows heroism is by caring for children especially if they are in a hospital. Children need love and someone to care for them, and Johnny shows that he cares for a 17-year-old that was in a coma for five months. According to Look to The Stars, “he was her favorite actor… and her parents hoped that the recorded message [Johnny gave her as a gift]

would help her wake up.” This was really touching to him and other celebrities as well, so they all helped and cooperated to help other children that were in a coma.

Johnny is a very respectful man due to his polite behavior with other people and professionals. In addition, this shows how he acts or is like, his personality, with other people around him including strangers. An example of this kind of behavior is when he compared a photo-shoot to being raped. According to hollyscoop.com, [he] “doesn’t like photo-shoots at all…it’s almost like being raped…” He also mentioned that [he was] “truly sorry for offending anyone in any way […] I am regretful […] please accept my heartfelt apology.” This concludes that he is respectful and cares about what he says to others.

In conclusion, Johnny is a celebrity that’s considered a hero due to his good personality. Apologizing in front of the interviewers, giving a gift to a girl that was in a coma, and saving 6 people’s life is being heroic. These are some of the things that Johnny has demonstrated to the world, and what a good hero looks like. He is a celebrity that is considered a hero due to all of these things and by being a sweet heart to every one including respecting him and others.
