Photography

In class the other day, my classmates and I took a trip outside and took different photos using our phones or cameras. We wandered all around town taking pictures of things such as trees, leaves, flowers, or our classmates. Here are a few examples of those.

Picture #1- This picture was taken in the downtown part of our town. We were walking when I noticed vines growing on the side of a building. I was immediately intrigued by the artistic look of it, and I took a picture of it. 

Picture #2- This is a picture of me. I was walking with my classmate Lexi when I noticed a small area with only grass. I thought of pictures I had seen taken of other people, and I thought of this idea. I had Lexi literally stand overtop of me and take a picture with me in the center.

Picture #3- This is a picture of Lexi. I had her do the same thing that I had done, because I had thought it looked cool. In this specific picture, I like how the sun is glaring only on the top half.

Don't Get Copyrighted

In class, we have been learning about getting rights and permission to using different pictures. I learned that if you don't ask for permission to use a picture on a website, you could get in trouble, and even get sued. I already knew this, so none of the article was a big shock to me. But, it reminded my classmates and me that we need to be aware of what we are posting, or else we could get in deep trouble for it.

Meme Making

We have been working with run-on sentences, and different ways to avoid writing them. Our teacher asked us to create three different memes; each containing a sentence that shows a different way to avoid run-ons. Each meme's sentence must connect to the meme.

The memes below were created by makeameme.org

All About Me

                Hi, I’m Skyler, and this is an introduction to who I am. I am thirteen years old (almost fourteen on October 9^th) and I am in eighth grade. I go to a very small school called Chadwick Junior High. Compared to other schools in the area, ours is maybe 1/10 the size of them. At my school, I am a part of many different extra-curricular activities, including softball, volleyball, track, student council, and quiz bowl. I would say that I am excelling greatly at these things, too. I went to state last year in track for the 1600-meter run, I am an outside hitter and a starter in volleyball, and I am the secretary in student council.

                Outside of school is a different story. I live with my mom in Milledgeville with her boyfriend, my older sister, a cat named Babycakes, a dog named Gizmo, and a bird named Peep. I am there most of the time, unless I am at my dad’s every other weekend. Ever since school started, I’m not really home. I am normally practicing for sports, at dance, or hanging out with friends. When I am home, I am normally completing homework (and sometimes giving up and saving it for study hall the next day), sitting around on my phone, or watching TV or Netflix with my family. So basically, I am a pretty lazy person when it comes to staying at home.

                Some people can describe me as a very introverted person, but others may describe me as very outgoing. When I am with people I am not very familiar with, a word you could use to describe me is awkward. I never know what to say, I can’t keep direct eye contact, and sometimes I speak straight nonsense. While when I am with my friends and people I am quite used to, it is almost the complete opposite. I’ll speak my mind about anything and everything, even if it doesn’t make sense. I’ll also do anything with these people, like go to haunted houses or hang out at football games. If you aren’t one of these people, you could probably expect a lame excuse, trying to get myself out of the situation.

                To sum this all up, I guess you could describe me as a very complicated person. I could sound like an athlete, an outgoing friend, or just a complete loser.
