The Use of Literary Devices and The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor
This project was very similar to the first digital story. I used my knowledge of powerpoint and my initial design to help plan out my powerpoint. This project was based on a lesson I learned in English class with Mrs. Kaplan. This book is written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and called The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor. My learnings about literary devices and the use of them in this novel was summed up and put into an organized powerpoint. The recordings were the hardest part because I kept messing up and re-doing it. Overall I found this project to be rather entertaining and it also helped me tie English learning with Technology learning.

My Trip to the Dominican Republic
My project is based on my trip to the Dominican Republic. I took this trip along with my mother, my brother, my mom's boyfriend, and his children. Among the many activities I took part in, I included pictures from the Flying Trapeze, archery, the beach, and sailing. The song I used for my video is the song that was played constantly around the resort. The songs name is "Love Generation" by the artist, Bob Sinclair. The pictures show the ocean and the nice scenery in and around the resort in the Dominican Republic. I had a great time in Club Med, Punta Cana. There are countless memories, and although some events didn't go so well, my family and I laugh about them now.
Project Reflection: In order to complete this project, my class and I had to learn how to use different programs on the Mac and also become familiar with basic tools on the computer. Reminiscing on the events and gathering pictures was fun and entertaining. I realized that my family and I had an exciting weekend, and although the trip went by fast, we did many things. The easiest part of the project for me was gathering the pictures and adding transitions. Although, the most difficult part had to be adding text to each slide, as well as adding music to my show. Since there was a specific song in mind, I had to search and convert the song from a video on youtube to an mp3 file. I helped other classmates do this, too, because if your not sure how to do it, it may be a difficult task.
Here's my Rubric!
