Kerpoof Assignment

CONTAMINATE 

    My picture was very fun and elaborate to make. Kerpoof was a very intuitive website, with the necessary tools needed in order to create this picture. The word Contaminate is a word that can be expressed in many different ways. The picture we chose to use in our podcast was this one, because it shows a relative image of a real contaminated environment. It even shows it from the animals' point of view. I feel that we made a good decision, since this picture reflects the main idea of our word. 

Word Generation Podcast Week 7 Reflection

      Throughout this week's podcast, everyone on my team contributed with our podcast. I did not feel like I was forced to do all the work. Gordon did not do as much work, but he still encouraged our group. Jessie helped me with the music and the pictures, while I edited and put the whole podcast (or video) together. Jessie was calm as well as encouraging, which helped us get our work done faster. I think this experience could be better if everyone knows their role in making this podcast even before we being. I can try to not be as bossy, and let others speak and share their ideas.Overall, I think my group was fun to work with. It gives me a chance to actually get to know the people in my group.

Media Arts Podcast Comparison

   In Francisco Middle School, students have started a program called Word Generation. This helps us improve our vocabulary now that we're in the 8th grade, and will even benefit us next year in high school.                  
   In our Media Arts class, we have begun to make podcasts that match the 5 weekly words. However, if you look at the podcasts Connor, Annie, and I created, in comparison with the one Derek, Annie, and I made, you will find many differences among them. In the firt podcast, we did not have any background music, animations, or credits. Our voices didn't hold any emotion, making the podcasts dull. The new podcasts have more life thrown in, with our voices clear, and absolutely no background noise. It took us a while to learn how to make this podcasts,and we still have a lot to learn and improve on, but our effort is paying off.

Welcome to Luz's E-Portfolio

Hey everybody! You've finally arrived to Luz's E-Portfolio!!!! In this digital portfolio, I will be displaying a wide variety of artistic work that will include poetry, stories, plays, etc. Hopefully, over time, I will be able to look back and see how much my writing has grown. I want to share my experience of becoming a better writer with all of you. I want my passion for writing to reach millions of people, and I know this is a first step to accomplishing that goal. Please stay in touch and comment on my work! There's always room for improvement!

Life

'Twas a night of wonders

when the silver moon stood high

its paleness

reflected,

 a mirror

into the sea.

While the waves rippled,

 the trees sang,

magnificent and grand.

Your mind filled with music

amidst and above it all

a tune

                     a song

                                           a melody

chosen to worship

feelings of bliss.  Joy

in such a paradise

A single  drop of rain falls.

Head tilted

you felt it pour.

Furious waves come,

mournful waves go.

A spark hits the sky.

The thunder awakes,

no more light 

Disoriented, you run north

south

east

west

ending at the same place as before.

When morning finally comes,

 light is shown once more

it seems like you're in hell

nothing like before.

A hushed silence

quiets your song.

Destruction, ruins lay beneath your feet

nevertheless

that lucent ray of light

cascading from the sun,

is proof

that all would be renewed.

It's hope that all would be all right
