Mr. Buxton,
Is this Persuasive ANIMOTO good? Is there anything I should change.

http://animoto.com/play/R2dKzfUbB0dMwsnl7ZGH6w

Also, can you tell me when the Historical Fiction Project is due. For Clarification, Our Persuasive ANIMOTO is due onTuesday, tomorrow, right? And when is our persuasive essay hard copy due, Thursday?

George said...

Could someone tell me all the Events that we HAVE to have in our SS Essay?

George said...

I don't have my notes with me.

Unknown said...

You are stating that it needs to change, but you are not saying HOW...too many of your slides seem to be repetitive. What must people/society do to change?

French/Indian War
Proclamation Act
Stamp Act
Townshend Act
Boston Massacre
Boston Tea party
Intolerable Acts
First Continental Congress

you will proably need to mention the Sons and Daughters of Liberty as well.

George said...

Thanks!

George said...

What do those words at the bottom of the post mean? What Prepositional Phrase Song? Are we doing another one?

Unknown said...

Maddy Z said...

After you click download you know how to do the rest. Just incase, let me recap:
Go to wherever it's saved and drag it into you USB key file on you computer.

Maddy Z said...

Guys, click on everyone's profiles! They've changed! Automatically...

Han said...

Han said...

Or am I wrong......

Maddy Z said...

I have no clue what you mean, Han! I want to help, but I don't know what your talking about.

Maddy Z said...

Do we need a hard copy of the essay or can we just save it onto Google Docs?
(I am turning into an OBOB! This isn't good! I have to stop blogging now!)

Han said...

The persuasive writing is the writing we started today right?

Han said...

Caroline said...

I tried to put music on my animoto from home and it isn't working. Does anyone have a good song recommendation for a Help Cambodia topic?

Anonymous said...

Comment on my animoto okay? PLEASE

Anonymous said...

Something that is slow and nature-ish Caroline!

Caroline said...

What is????? I know what it should be I just can't find it.

Harrisen(M) said...

Do you need to do all the ss events for the loyalist animo to

Anonymous said...

You have to mention so yes Harrisen

Anonymous said...

What about my animoto?? I need some advice

Caroline said...

What about me making my animoto and I tried to look at yours but my internet browser didn't work with it.

Maya S. said...

Nakul, don't question Mr. Buxton decision! Just appreciate it!!!!

Anonymous said...

OKAY ANISHA TOLD ME ONCE!!!!

Maddy Z said...

Nakul -
think about this while I finish watching your video :
you make quite a bit of reference towards the muslims and hindus fighting, is your topic just that war or all religious wars? I know, you say that thing about how in the most recent wars 7 million/billion people have been killed, but mostly it is making reference to those religions in particular.

Harrisen(M) said...

Hi guys here is my animoto pleasecomment!!!!!!!
http://animoto.com/play/AyPKMSRGHMs1tzii5TG5nQ

Anonymous said...

It's focusing on Hindus and Muslims fighting so I should change the title. Sorry, forgot! Thanks for reminding though!

Han said...

Harrisen maybe you are telling too much and not showing enough

Maya S. said...

Caroline- Try X-mas pop under the Holiday section.
(Don't use Xmas rock because I'm using that)

Han said...

I've fixed the title and parts of the opening!

Maddy Z said...

Well I don't know if you should change the title because you do make that one reference about the 7 million people having been killed in the 4 most recent wars. That part persuades the viewer a bit more and has quite a big impact on it.
I also like the part where it says something like, 'it only takes one to change the world' that is quite inspiring.
You should elaborate on the Indo-Pak conference a little.

Unknown said...

HARDCOPY
what's an OBOD
Nakul - the point is as we discussed today...who are you persuading? and what are you persuading them to do?

Caroline said...

Thanks SO MUCH Maya, I was hopeless for a long time trying to find the right song. Since it has no words it is barely christmas music!

Harrisen(M) said...

Thx,
Han thank you for the advice should i maybe change some words with pictures or just take the words out.

Caroline said...

Can people comment on my animoto? URL:

Maddy Z said...

Harrisen -
Good job! The music and theme work really well with the topic.
There is one slide that says 'poverty could change our future' and the people in the picture below the worlds are - in a way - jumping for joy. That doesn't really fit.
You should revise some of the grammar errors that make it a little confusing.
You repeat some slides like the seal of the President one and one of the explosion ones. I am not sure if you did that on purpose though.
It is very inspiring all in all though.

Han said...

It is OBOB Mr. Buxton it is when you are posting too much comments and something like that......

OBOB Obsessive Blogging On Blog!

Anyways here's my animoto

http://animoto.com/play/dYT0G1hmDFzHS6KEBOKRAw

Han said...

Harrisen, I think its beter to replace the words to pictures beacuse then you won't be reallt saying anything.

Maddy Z said...

An OBOB has something to do with Obsessive Blogger but I'm not completely sure, Anisha made it up.

Maya S. said...

Mr. Buxton- OBOB is obsessive blogging on blog.

Harrisen(M) said...

thank you maddy

Caroline said...

is anyone going to comment?

That one could have more description and a longer song Caroline!

Caroline said...

MR. Buxton, For the final speech can you put it on the blog so Maria and Scott can see it when they move?

Maddy Z said...

Caroline -
Well done! Some of your slides are very inspiring and make me really want to help.
You should maybe put in some picture that would explain a little more about why we should help them.
The happy Christmas music doesn't fit with the 'help Cambodia' theme, and it ends halfway through your animoto anyway.
Good job, though!

Caroline said...

I thought the song would make the slides stay compared to how long the song is! How long do you think it could be?

Caroline said...

I can't find the right song!!!!! I have been looking for so long!!!!!!!

Han said...

caroline find a song which is 5min that is the maxium and I think that would be plenty
and what did you say about the speech!?:)

Anonymous said...

Mr.Buxton I'm arguing to governments!

Maddy Z said...

Caroline look in the indie rock sectifor titled a song titled something like 'great day' or something.

Rachel L said...

my animoto is on my blog

Rachel L said...

Harrisen you need to slow down your animoto I can't read it all. And you say mine has too much words. Yours has even more!!!

Rachel L said...

George-
