Lucy Leafy

Creating a podcast requires patience and creativity, a skill in which we practiced today. With a partner, Marlene, we created a podcast that told a story about a tree on campus. The steps incuded, choosing a tree, taking pictures from different percentages, and creating a podcast. The angles of the pictures differentiated in how close we took the picture. One picture included the tree as a whole, and we then began to zoom in. In creating the podcast, Marlene and I had to be creative and think of the story we wanted the tree to inform its audience. We thought about telling the story of the generations it has seen on campus. Creating the podcast required a large amount of patience, it gave Marlene and I very good practice for future podcast creations. 

Science Journal Cover

Science journals are a creative and interactive form for students to reflect on classroom and homework assignments. It allows the students to reflect on observations, experiments and ask questions about any activity they participated in. Decorating your journal to your own style also allows the students to make it their own and more personal. This is a picture of my designed journal. I have included pictures that convey what science means to me. In my pictures I have included chemistry, biology, astrology, and some well known science individuals, Albert Einstein and Bill Nye the Science Guy.
