World Religions Project

In 8th grade, Religion 8 class had us look at some of the religions in the world. The teacher split us into groups and gave each group a religion. Each group researched their religion and presented it to the class. My group made a google slides presentation outlining the basics of our assigned religion, Buddhism. My group looked at the rubric and what people would need to write down about Buddhism to decide what to present. I am proud of the slides about writings, beliefs, goals, and creation/end beliefs. However the slides about the founder of Buddhism and the history of Buddhism were harder due to the time between then and now. If I could redo the project I would’ve liked to learn more about Buddhism’s history because I know how it started and what it is today but not as much of what happened between them.

Deleted Sceness Pentecost project

Hello to anyone who is looking at this. I made this video for school. I posted on YouTube and it has not come to critical acclaim. Because of this I interviewed myself about the project.


Q: What grade and class were you in when you made this?

A: I was in 8th grade and made it for my Religion 8 class.

Q: Why did you decide to take the project in the direction that you did?

A: When we were deciding what to do some ideas were to have the disciples decrease in sanity but we thought it would be too inaccurate. We also had the idea of doing a how it should have ended stile video but that was probably too hard. Then we had the idea to do it kind of like the Office with the disciples being interviewed.

Q: What parts of the project are you proudest of? What parts of the project were most challenging?

A: I am very proud of our acting in our interview scenes. I do think we could have done a better job with the background noises but we had already waisted half an hour trying to get everyone to be quiet. Also Jerusalem is a big city so.

Q: If you could do the project over again, how would you approach it differently? Why?

A: We would definitely record in different places that way there would be less background noise


 

 

Narnia Final Reflection

In The Magician’s Nephew Asland creates Narnia. In real life God creates Earth. The image I chose to represent was a planet that semi resembles Earth. I chose this because Narnia is like Earth that it was created the same way. In The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe Narnia is put in an eternal winter while waiting for Asland. In real life the Israelites were ruled by Rome while waiting for Jesus. I chose a picture of people getting captured. I chose this because both the Irialites and the animals were captured. In Narnia Asland was captured by his enemies and sacrificed so Edmund would be right with the Old Magic. In the real world Jesus was captured by His enemies and was sacrificed for us His children. I chose a picture of someone being sacrificed. I chose this picture because both Asland and Jesus were sacrificed.

 

I relate to Edmund because as a fellow sibling I can understand that it can be hard to relate to them and how joking around can sometimes get you into trouble (especially when they are of the opposite gender). Also like Edmund it is very easy for me to turn away from God. The image for this is an outcast. I chose this image because I feel like one sometimes.
