For the past week I have been going to an acting camp called Atlantic. I took an on camera workshop. we took 3 classes one was monologs, the other one was auditioning, and the last was commercials. My monolog was the E.T. scene where Eleit is explaining all his toys to ET. This is it. “Coke. You see, we drink it. It’s a, it’s a drink. You know, food. These are toys, these are little men. This is Greedo, and then this is Hammerhead, see this is Walrus Man, and this is Snaggletooth and this is Lando Calrissian See…and look, they can even have wars. Look at this. Look fish. Fish eat the fish food, and the shark eats the fish, and nobody eats the shark. See, this is PEZ, candy. See you eat it. You put the candy in here and then when you lift up the head, the candy comes out and you can eat it. You want some? This is a peanut. You eat it, but you can’t eat this one, ‘because this is fake. This is money. You see. You put the money in the peanut. You see? It’s a bank. See? And then, this is a car. This is what we get around in. You see? Car. Hey, hey wait a second. No. You don’t eat ’em. Are you hungry? I’m hungry. Stay. Stay. I’ll be right here. Okay? I’ll be right here.” It was really fun!! The next class was auditioning. A man names Todd Thailer came in every day and gave us new scripts. Todd has casted the extras for “Big,” and the cast of ” The Professional.” A few minutes after we got the scripts we when up on camera and read them. After everybody had gone we would re watch are videos to see what we could improve on. One time in class he showed us a video of all the kids who had auditioned for him. That list included Leonardo Di Caprio, Nataly Portman, and Clair Dains. The third and final class was commercials. We got different props like cookies, juice, and a basketball which we all used as the company we where supposed to be averting. we only had that class the last 2 days but it was still very fun. Atlantic acting camp was super fun and i would love to do it next summer!!!

For discovery day I went to bounce U. Bounce you is a trampoline park in brooklne. I was in the video/photography group, we took time laps and slo motion videos we also took a lot of pictures. Then we ate lunch in the park, unfortunately we didn’t have that much time to edit the video. So we only got a few seconds of footage. It was really fun and I would like to go to bounce U again.

Welcome to your brand new digital portfolio/blog at blogs.lrei.org!

Your portfolio can be used for many things through out your middle and high school years, including:

• Documenting and reflecting on your learning, passions, and interests, both in and out of school
• Curating and highlight work for your Family Conferences
• In some instances, your teachers will ask you to submit, reflect and comment on work in this portfolio

It is our hope that you also seek to make this a personally relevant learning space in which you curate work that is important and meaningful to you. As you build this learning space, we also hope that you will use it as a way to connect with other learners in the LREI community and beyond.

Your LREI account (Mail, Docs/Drive) credentials will automatically get you into your blog. Here are a few things you’ll want to take a look at:

1. Change the name of your blog. To do this, go back to the Dashboard and click on the “Home” symbol, then on “MS Digital Portfolio Template” under “This Blog.”

In the field for “Site Title,” add a new title. You can use your first name if you want (e.g., “Mark’s Digital Portfolio”), but don’t use your first and last name. You can also create a title that doesn’t have your name in it. Be as creative as you want, but keep in mind that the title should relate to the purpose of the portfolio.

After you’ve added a new title, click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.

 

2. Add a Post

For the most part, you’ll be adding items to your blog as posts. To add a new post, you can click on the +New button in the top bar of your blog, and then select “Post.”

You’ll want to give each post a title, and assign it to a Category. These categories are broken down by class and grade (e.g., fifth grade, core, etc.). This will allow you to organize and sort information so that you can control the look and feel of your blog. If you take a look at the menu bar under the blog title, you see the different groups of categories (e.g., class, grade, teacher, etc.).

When you’re done with your post you can click “Publish” on the side to make the post appear on your blog
