Criterion B: Design

I chose to do computer programming because I’m interested in technology, and it would be something that would interest me for a long time. I have made websites and edited myspaces, and etc. I want to create useful programs, and become famous. To be a computer programmer, you have to have a lot of requirements. You need to be good at math, know algebra, geometry, calculus, and know hot to use them. Have to have education, training in the technology field, and computer skills. And you have to know computers inside and out.

So this unit, was interesting, and educational, because I learned that I am a ENTJ, and I realized that me and my dad are very alike. We are problem solvers, practical thinkers, and we always want things our way. I learned a lot of things.
Criterion A: Investigation
We had to answer a test, with about 70 questions on it, and it would show our personality type. I found out that mine, Uudee’s and Evgenii’s were all ENTJ. We are similar to Steve Jobs, Bill gates, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jim Carrey, and a lot more.

Criterion B: Design
I chose to computer programming, because that’s the thing I’m most closest to. Then we wrote our career plan, which is the necessary job requirements, and your qualifications.
Career goal:

Computer Programmer - Convert project specifications and statements of problems and procedures to detailed logical flow charts for coding into computer language. Develop and write computer programs to store, locate, and retrieve specific documents, data, and information. May program web sites.

Requirements:

• Try my best!

Criterion C: Create
We had to take our career plan, and make a university entrance video. We had to state my qualifications, why you should choose me, and other stuff. I filmed it at home, edited on iMovie, and published it in HD. I would say I didn’t do a good job on the video, because I was so fed up with filming myself, I would have rather done something without me in it.

Criterion D: Evaluate
It was interesting, annoying at times, but ok. Better than the Modern Shakespeare for sure. I could have done better, but oh well. I will always know now that I am an ENTJ, and I will recognize my characteristics when I do them. Made me aware of other peoples personalities too.

Shakespeare Criterion A: Investigation

Shakespeare has been considered to be one of the greatest writers to ever live. However, most of his plays were written in old English, making them quite difficult to understand. As we had just finished reading the play, “Much Ado About Nothing” he have a fair understanding of the play, mostly because our teacher, Mr. Thompson, explains the events going on in our language, so we can understand it. What about the not-so-good-at-english people? Can they understand it? Probably not. This is the purpose of this new unit. We have to make a modern day, news report about the scandalous things going on in the play, in the format of a celebrity gossip, news, and other stories. The characters in the play being the celebrities of course. Today, during English class, we almost finished watching the movie of the play, and I found out that seeing the characters actually act, and perform the characters in the play, it is much easier to understand. So even making the words modern would make it even simpler. We have to make it so anyone, even a person who has never heard of Shakespeare, understands the events happening in this play.

The format of the news report I chose is to do animation, utilizing toys and materials to make a little cartoon, or stop-motion movie, in the style of Robot Chicken, which takes modern events and depicts it into a cartoon. Now Robot Chicken is basically meant for humor, but I will also be adding maybe drama. I watched an episode of the show, and got the basic style of it, which would be short random little skits, transitioned through like TV static.

Good news is that I already have a program for stop motion, called Framebyframe, and it allows me to take a picture of an object, move it a bit, take another picture, and so on and so forth, until I have a moving picture, resulting in a movie. I will have to find the correct dolls, and dress them accordingly to the play, and that will be quite difficult. I will also probably make a set, with little props and realistic materials that will be used in the cartoon. The program used the built in webcam on my computer, so I have to connect a external camera, get a working tripod, and make sure nobody touches it. I think this will be a long and hard process, but it will be fun working with tech like this. I am always interested in working with things I’m interested in.

My Personality Type: ENTJ Investigation

My personality type is ENTJ, for Extraversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Judgment.

"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"

We focus on doing things the right way, the most efficient, the most organized way of doing things. We are superior leaders; we are both realistic and visionary in long-term plans. We are very independent in our decision-making, think about things in a very logical, and rational way. We are good in things such as business, things that require system analysis, original thinking, and economically savvy mind. We are problem solvers. We are confident in our own abilities, and when dealing with others we are outgoing, fair-minded and unaffected by criticism. This can sometimes make us seem arrogant, insensitive, controlling, intimidating and hasty. We love to learn new things, which makes us intelligent problem solvers. We always want things our way.

Is it True?

Yes! This got it spot on for me, I like to think of everything as it was made, like if I see a picture that has been edited, I see in my mind how it was edited, and suddenly it’s not so cool anymore. My dad is a CEO, one of the recommended careers for ENTJ’s, so it is likely that I will take over the business. When were in a group of friends, I’m usually the director, the one that keeps everything organized and planned. You can ask some people, they will tell you its true.

Modern Shakespeare Criterion E: Evaluation

Our unit was Modern Shakespeare, and our plan was to take our scripts we wrote in English class, and produce a video with us acting a play that we chose was best. We were separated into groups of shows that we were doing, and we had to chose one out of a group, act it, film it, and put it together with the rest of the acts, and that would be it. Then, it became we choose the best script out of the class by posting it on our blogs, and voting for the one you thought was best, act it, film it, and it would be done.

We had some major problems along the way. We needed a lot of equipment, we couldn’t find a proper setting, characters were missing, people weren’t enthusiastic, and it was a total disaster. We decided to go with the one that we thought was best, and we got Tsolmon’s script. It was an Oprah styled show, with a host, and the characters come on stage and talk about a few scandalous things. We chose our roles, memorized our lines to some extent, and began to act it out. We first did a test run on the couches next to the art room, and our filmer, Haram started to work out angles and things.

I was Claudio, I had one line, and I tried to kill Borachio, who was played by Evgenii, on stage. Namuun was Beatrice, the bratty, annoying type, Uudee was Benedick, Reeza was the host named Iris, Rebekah was Hero, my lover, Jill and Catriona was Margaret and Ursula, and the rest I don’t remember.

I felt really frustrated with this unit, especially because we didn’t have a good idea of what was going on and what we were supposed to do the entire time. I think most of us hated this unit, and really wanted it to just go away. Apparently Mrs. Wilson did too! It’s a good thing that we are skipping this unit, because everyone would have gotten a not-so-good-grade on it.
