K

We know that he created the Muppet's and the Sesame Street.

W

We wanted to know the details. Not just the general things about him and his life.

H

We are going to use trustworthy websites to find/get our information.

L

We learned that he didn't always want to be a puppeteer and he learned how from books.

A

We will share what we learned by a website, glogster, and google presentation.

Q

What inspired him to be a puppeteer?
What muppet is Jim Henson most proud of?

Emily's Reflection

I thought this was a very fun round of passion time. I really enjoyed learning about Jim Henson with Annie. I learned things that I would have never known if it weren't for passion time. Jim Henson is very creative. I live doing passion time with a partner because I have someone to bounce my ideas off of.

Annie's Reflection

I thought this round of Passion Time was really fun. I liked learning about Jim Henson. I didn't know much about Jim, so a lot of the stuff I learned was very cool and interesting. It was fun doing it with my partner, Emily. Jim Henson was a very good puppetteer. I bet that he would be proud of his success.

Picture of my blog. http://www.weebly.com/weebly/main.php And here is the URL to my blog.

Blue: Brain stem Red: Temporal lobe Yellow: Occipital Lobe White: Cerebellum Green: Frontal Lobe Orange: Parietal Lobe

Reflection: I had fun doing this project because I could learn about the ways that the brain can get the information that it needed. I also learned that if the brain took eh wrong path of something like it didn't remember a guys name that would mean that your brain did not have enough to put together what the friends name was. So overall this was a great project to learn about and I think that I have educated enough people that they should know how fun it would be to do the same project as me.

K
I know that the brain controls all of your body, and that the memory has to take a certain path to remember the memory.

W

I want to know what the pert of the brains do and how they do.

H

I will find this out by searching it and making my own inferences.

L

I have learned that the brain need to have the nerves travel in a certain way so that the human brain can know the memory that you need.

A
I am going to make video's so that I can educate people and tell people what I have learned.

Q

I want to know what chemicals are in the brain, what those chemicals do and how they do it.

W

We want to make a skeleton out of clay.

L

We learned all about the different kinds of bones and what they do.

A

We got the clay built it and made our video.

Q

We don't have any more questions.

Charlie's Reflection

I thought that it was a good passion time. I went a little bit out side the box going with something in art. It was fun because I got to work with my friend and we worked good together. It was really hard because me and Anthony are really not good with art. Special thanks to Charlotte, she gave us a lot of good ideas. This passion was a great one. I think other people should try things in your with clay too. If you read this you should try building a skeleton.

Anthony's Reflection

This passion time was very awesome we learned a lot of stuff too! This was a very hard passion time too because we need more clay ant points and if we forgot it we wouldn't have anything to do. I found it really fun though and It got me to learn all about the human body and what all of the bones do. This was also a really fun passion time and I think that other people should try to do this.

Can We Learn about the Aztecs and Their Culture? Connor and Sean

3/7/2014

6 Comments

K

They were located around the Mexico area
They went to war with the Spanish
They would make human sacrifices

W

Some of their rituals
About their culture
How their architecture is

H

Read some books
Look at some websites
Watch some videos

L

The Aztecs grew tons of crops
The king of the Aztecs thought the Spaniards were gods in disguise

A

We will create a website
We will make a YouTube video

Q

Why did the Aztecs go to the middle of the lake?
How did they get their gods?
Why did Hernán Cortéz kill ALL of the Aztecs?

Sean's Reflection

I learned a lot of things during this round of passion time about the Aztecs and it was very fun. I learned that the Aztecs were very interesting people and it was also fun working on the website with Connor. Before this activity all I really knew about the Aztecs was that they did human sacrifices, but now that I spent all this time doing research about them I know just about everything there is to learn about their people. This was also probably one of my funnest research projects that I have done.

Connor's Reflection

The Aztecs were really interesting to learn about, with their culture and all. But I never really knew much about them except that they were a major force when they were around. So I really learned a ton from this passion time round. I thought also it was fun to work with Sean. He is a really good partner to work with. But then again, there are still so many questions about the Aztecs that I want answered. If only Hernán Cortéz didn't kill all of them...

3/7/2014

4 Comments

K

I know how to draw outer walls and windows and doors and rooms.

W

I want to know if I can use the correct dimensions.

H

I will find out by looking it up and trying to figure out the dimensions.

L

I have learned that in floor plans you must use the same and exact measurement. This is important because if they are different they will not be the same.

A

I will make more floor plans for houses and buildings for people.

Q

Can I create a hotel?
Can I create a house from these floor plans?
Can I create harder bigger things?

Reflection

I feel that this was a great way to learn how to be an architect. It would be an easy way for people in the future to learn how to be an architect and people should use this. I also learned how to use architectural scales and triangles. I think if people had to opportunity to do this they should and everyone who wants to learn it should.

We really want to know if we can make this and also get more facts.

We will use dimensions to make the John Hancock and research on facts to put on our Google presentation.

A

We will use this blog entry and also Mr.Solarz will probably tweet it out.

Q

We still want to know why there is x's on it.Also why it was named after John Hancock.Also what is the other on like.

Luke's Reflection

This was a very fun experience. I did more of the work online,but it was still fun. I got to make the building stronger and more sturdy. I also helped make the bases and the sides. Sam made the tower more then me,but still I had fun getting those facts and help build a little. It was a little bit hard,but you always need a challenge. In conclusion this was a really fun experience.

Sam K's Reflection

So I did more of the building and Luke did more of the bases and the online stuff which I think is harder because he had to make our website and gather all of our facts, So he was the biggest help. And this passion project was so fun It taught us how to make ratios and we learned a bunch about the John Hancock Center and we learned how to make the John Hancock it self.
