For my eleventh blog post, second to last, I want to talk a little bit about the Melos vs. Athens project we’re going to be doing, as well as the whole Melos vs. Athens unit we are doing. This unit still feels pretty new to me, as we’ve only done one reading and learned a bit about Socrates, but I’m very excited for the model where everyone becomes an ancient member of one of the societies. I’m excited because growing up, I was a huge mythology and ancient greek and roman nerd. I knew so much about ancient greek society, and although much of that knowledge has since left me, I’m still very interested in the subject. I also learned a lot I didn’t previously know in the reading already. For example, I had never heard of Melos before. I think I have a general outline of an idea of what the big grade-wide project is going to be like, but I don’t know specifics on it, and I’m also not sure when it is. Another thing I enjoyed doing was the Netflix project. I think the Netflix project was a fun way to learn about Socrates, and definitely, a better alternative than, say, just writing a paper on him. Socrates is a name that I’ve always heard, but never really known who he was, so that project was a cool little research project to learn about him. Overall, I think the Melos vs. Athens unit is one of my favorite units so far. Switching gears, I’m going to talk now about my progress in the This I believe project and how that’s going. As of right now, all I have to do is actually record my audio and put it over my slideshow, so I’m pretty close to being finished. That will be my goal, to finish it tonight. I went back and did some editing on my script, and all and all I’m satisfied with what I’ve written and how it came out. I have about 560 words, which is inside the range you recommended, so I’m basically all set and ready to start recording now. I’m not quite sure yet what I’m going to record it with. I may use loom, which I’ve seen teachers use in the past. If not loom, I’ll probably use Vimeo or garage band as you recommended. Finally, to finish off, I’ll end by talking about these blog posts. I feel like I’ve stayed on top of these and consistently done one a week all the way through, which I’m happy with. I don’t feel stressed as the semester comes to an end, and I plan on writing my last one early next week, to complete all twelve of them for full credit. As for the quality, I feel like I’ve been pretty casual in my blog posts, which I think I remember you saying was ok, and because of how casual they were, I guess It’s fair to say that I wasn’t showing my best writing in them, but I still always tried and took them seriously, so I think it’s ok. And with that, I’ll finish up this week’s blog post. Thanks!
