Blogging


















The main visual elements of this cartoon are the three people eating dinner at the table and the caption at the bottom of the cartoon. The issue in this cartoon is that technology is starting to do away with dinner table conversations. The artist's opinion is that there is still an older generation that doesn't want technology to completely take over and that the younger generations that have found away to use technology to get rid of every day aspects of life. The artist is probably on the "okay, this has kinda gone a bit too far now" side of technology. The caption in particular shows that the artist thinks this. They could use the blog but it's nice to have your son tell you. It is ironic that technology has removed an aspect of dinner table conversation that is very symbolic of what you say at the table which is the question, what did you do today? It is also ironic that we are blogging about a guy who is blogging. This relates to technology in the future because it shows how it can effect how you live your daily life and how technology has changed it.

UbD RP Plan

Monday:
On Monday, my plan is to start getting notes onto note cards. My EO option uses almost the exact same information so I can use many of the same sources. For homework, I can finish up with the note cards so that I can start the outline itself by Tuesday.
Tuesday:
On Tuesday, I will put note cards together into outline. I can also use this time to find more note cards if I find holes in my research. I can finalize this for homework.
Wednesday:
On Wednesday, I will start thinking about transitions and how to turn the outline into my first rough draft. I will also use this time to finalize my DS rough draft. Some of the audio needs to be changed here. I will try to show Mr. Coyle the first draft and see how I can make it more "edutaining"
Thursday:
Thursday will be spent working on the rough draft of the RP.
Friday:
Whatever needs to be done for the RP.
