Kerpoof Picture

Derives
    My picture was easy to make because I found pictures that matched the word very well.  The picture we chose for our podcast is my picture. The reason we chose mine, is that my picture explained and showed what the word derives mean. I feel that this was a good choice to choose this because it reflected what the word actually means. Kerpoof is the program we used to make this picture and I thought it was a really interesting program because it had a lot of features on it, such as making pictures, a drawing tool, and creating stories.

Team-Work

 =>CLICK HERE TO WATCH WORD GENERATION WEEK 7 PODCAST<=                                      
         It was a fantastic experience working with my group members Luz and Gordon for Word Generation podcast week 7. We all worked equally and fairly to try to even out the work, so we can all have a part in making the podcast. We all got to know each other better, even though we already know them as friends or classmates. I thought that Luz was acting really professional and taking things seriously. Gordon should've done a little more work and Luz is a good leader, but I think she should've been in the video for at least one part. Overall, they're both great and fun people to work with. It is hard to get along with people that you don't want to work with, but when you start working with them, you will start to change your mind about it. It takes a lot of effort to try to get your team members to say the right things while recording or to try to get them to say their lines with emotion, but once you have done so, you will find it very rewarding and your teacher will love your work.

Word Generation (Motivate)

Recent Podcast

                 In Francisco Middle School we have started a new program called Word Generation. Word Generation will help us as students improve our vocabulary and reading skills as we move on in life. We do this each week and in my Media Arts class we get into groups and make podcasts for each word. When we first started making our podcasts, we didn't really know how to make these podcasts and thought that it was going to be confusing, but if you compare our 1st podcast to the recent one it would show a major difference with our expressions, emotions, music, and how our pictures match with our voice.
