Week 3 Activity 1

Over the summer my family and I went to the beautiful state of Hawaii for 7 days. The sights were breathtaking! The picture attached is one I took from when we all went adventuring on these rocks in the ocean. I had so much fun exploring the beautiful island with my family.IMG_2053

Week 3 Activity 2

My grandmother passed away when I was only 6 years old. Although I was very young, I still have so many amazing memories of her. She was the sweetest and most interesting person I’ve ever met. I still remember all the times we went sledding together and our phone calls. I really miss my grandma, but I know she is in a better place now. Rest in peace Nonnie. I was given permission to use this photo.IMG_4757

Week 3 Activity 3

I interviewed my dad to learn more about my grandpa. He passed away when my dad was only 17, so I never got the chance to know him. From what I’ve heard from my dad, he was an amazing person. My grandpa, Starling Jr, was a professor at a university. Before he taught, he was in World War 2! Sadly, there was bad radiation in the war which caused him to have leukemia when he was older. My dad is the youngest of four kids and the only boy. My grandpa desperately wanted a son, so when my dad was born he was overjoyed. My dad tells me that my grandpa would sit on the couch every night and just read the dictionary. I wish I could have met him because he seems like the most interesting person. The picture attached is from World War 1 and from the website https://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/2012/01/08/downton-abbey-season-2-a-world-war-one-guide-to-rats-shell-shock-and-barbed-wire/ world war one

Week 3 Activity 5

Edublogs has taught me how to properly post a picture online. I know now to always give credit to the photographer who took the photo or to the website where I found the picture. Also, it is important to get permission from the person I wish to post a picture of.

Week 3 Activity 6

Recently I visited the Museum of Contemporary Arts also known as MOCA. I had an amazing time studying the different paintings and sculptures. I also really enjoyed taking photographs of the paintings. This particular painting was my favorite. I added the translation widget so everyone can read this post.FullSizeRender (1)
