How Ella Fitzgerald Came To Be from Daly ES on Vimeo.
My 3 friends and I created an infomercial about Ella Fitzgerald. We told about her career, how she became famous, and some of the many awards that she win. It was very informative and very fun to film, so we hope you enjoy it.
I choose the design of my book cover because in the book of the city of ember they are under ground that is why i did black for the bottom because they are under ground. I also did blue for the top because the people of the city of ember always had a black sky. And in the new city they were on top so they had a blue sky. I did a flag for the city of ember and for the new city because the city of ember is its own place and they are gonna want people to know that the city of ember exist. Also the reason why i did the new city because almost everybody knows because they are on top and not underground. That is why i did black and blue and flags for my frisson of the book cover.
Today in my group work was to try to redesign The City
of Ember book cover. I thought that it was a great idea.
Also I in this project I tried to be the most creative as I could because this book is very interesting and if I say to much in the book cover or it ruin the hole book cover sorry if I said to much. I used the light bulbs shaped shapes to represent
the few lights there are in the city of ember. Also I forgot to mention why the top half is Blue and the bottom half is Black. The top half is Blue because
that represent the up world of The City of ember. The bottom half represents where they live for the beginning of the book.
I made this book cover because for me this is the most efficient drawing. This is the best thing that I could think of and the most creative I like how I made the background black, the city of Ember was gold and brown mixed, then I put lamps. I put five lamps and put EMBER inside of them and the pole that keep the light steady I made it light black because the background was black. I made the background black because it is the dark sky and the lamps are the little bit of light that they have in the city of Ember. I used my creative side to make it this was my best idea to put Ember inside of the lamps to make it look cool its just not cool artistic. That is not the point the point is that I liked it if other people don’t like it it doesn’t matter because it’s there opinion. I personally like my book cover and I think that I did a good job. I want people to like my cover because worked hard on it. I did not give away anything from the story because I wanted for people to read it and figure everything out why it is always dark.
In class today we were told to make a book cover for “The City Of Ember” which in my opinion was an amazing book. I made this book cover in goggle draw which was pretty hard to do, but i’m getting off topic. The reason i made this book cover (SPOILERS) is because in the book they live in a… Read more →
Some of my awesome students wrote, performed, and edited a silent movie. They read the book “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and watched the silent movies mentioned in the book. The book is written as a silent movie, a detail I kept hidden from them until the end of the book. The book follows Hugo through a train station in Paris as he tries to rebuild an automaton that his father was working on at the time of his death. Hugo, an orphan, is forced to steal the parts he needs from a toy shop owner that turns out to be the famous (and real) filmmaker George Melies. During the book my students came across the names of some of the earliest silent movies. I had my students watch the movies that were mentioned in the story to gain background knowledge about the time period in which this story was set. The movies are quite different from the movies that they see now.
The best find this year was the video about Buster Keaton. The video highlights his career in silent movies. He was definitely the master of the “gag”. My students’s final video was definitely influenced by how Buster Keaton made movies. I have included the videos that we watched while reading the book below.
I always try to end the novels we read with a creative challenge. For Hugo, I challenged my students to create a silent movie that told a story in the style of the movies that we watched and the book we read. Below is their final product. Enjoy THE CHASE!
