Family History

Hello my name is Grant Lahr and I am doing a project on my family history. To gather this information I interviewed two people, my Grandpa from my dad's side and my mom. to gather this information I asked questions like; what was your mom's maiden name? And what where then names of your grandparents? I was surprised at some of the results I got. Using this information I created this Family Echo. This Family tree shows all of the generations in both sides of my family. I also sent a parent email to my mom asking her for information and here is what I found Parent Email. I asked her questions like; What does your last name mean and what nationality are you? I created this Prezi below to go into further explanation members.

My name is Grant Lahr and I did a project on my family history. I interviewed my grandpa Lahr and my mom  and asked about their sides of the Family Interview. Using all this information I gathered I was able to go back in my families generations and I was able to make a  Family Echo based on these interviews.      

I thought this video was very deep and well tought out by the speaker. It was a message to all people thses days who stare at a computer screen of a phone all day and have no idea about all the opportunities that they are missing out on. All the real human interaction they miss becuase they were too buzy with electronics. Like demonstraitd in the viedo, electronics dont make you happy. People make you happy. It is now a major problem these days that people even at a young age are becoming lesss and less social with one another. They would rather just text or tweet or email rather than face to face interaction. Like the guy in the beginning of the video he said he had like over 400 friends but then again he had no friends.

Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think this teacher really  think strongly about this topic and has lost of backround knowlage to back up what they say. It seems like the author of this article has been in sutuations like what he talks about in this article. And in the end it is like a letter to me telling me what is right and wrong and how the world works.

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE? 


My idea is to have someone walk around on the screen. I have not started taking photos yet. I plan to start taking my photos as soon as we get into the hall to get something done today I will try to take some pictures.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

 

Stop motion animation is when one takes many pictures as an object moves so every picture is slightly different then the last. When all the pictures are put together it apears to be like a video. All the different pictures come together to make it look as if the picture was moving.
