Stop Motion


My stop motion animation is about a person traveling through time, and I chose this because it sounded like a good idea. If i could rate it i would give it an 8 because it is pretty tripy. What I would do better is make it not so tripy. What makes my photostory unique is that I made sure i wasnt doing something someone else was doing. I think I deserve a B+ because i worked very hard on it and it involved lots of patience.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is where you take someone else’s work and use it as your own without changing it to your sentences and not citing it. There are different types of plagiarism, they are: Ghost writers were you get someone to do your work for you, usually you have to pay a ghost writer, Purloining were you take someone’s work and use it without their permission, and then there is Collusion were you work with someone  and have the exact same thing on it. I think people usually cheat academically because they either don’t know they are or they are lazy and don’t want to do it. There are series consequences for plagiarism, in school they usually give you a really bad grade on it, in college they will either expel you or put your grade down. But when you plagiarize it stays on your application forever and can make it hard to get into college and get a good job. In the video we watched I think Sandra shouldn’t have been expelled because she didn’t know that helping him would get her in trouble and she didn’t know he was copying it word for word.








This plagiarism case was about a guy in the “Young Guns” named Vaughn Ward. He stole Barack Obama’s speech and used it in a political argument. He never joined the congress because of it.

 Speed, Time, and Distance:


In this lesson we learned how o program the sphero to go a sertian speed, time and distance. We used a app to program it. It takes lots of time and effort to program something and for it to do it right. We used a command to make it roll, stop, speed, and delay time. We used a measuring tape to measure how far it goes at sertain speeds and sertain delay times.



2D Geometry:


In 2D Geometry we learned how to program our sphero to make sertain shapes. each color went a sertain distance, a sertain time, sertain speed, and a sertain angle. We used program for color, roll, stop, and delay. We made a square and a pentagon. This one was probably the hardest one.
