Reflection on This Week

My week was truly amazing! On Monday, I did some work in the grammar book. Then, I worked with William to write a whole paragraph on Black Boy on page 104. Next, on the computer, I had to change all of my sentences for my webzine blog. Later, I rewrote the Black boy paragraph as a quiz and typed it up and emailed it to Ms. Mckeone. That was my day on Monday.

On Tuesday, I had written my warm up on the paper. Then, Ms. Amber and I worked through my assignments. Also, I had published my blog webzine however I added a link to magazine website. After, I really did nothing the rest of the day. Next, I wrote my homework on the paper. That was my day on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, when Ms. McKeone was not here, we had a substitute teacher. Our substitute teacher was named Mrs. Capuni. Ms. Evans gave us the do now on the board. I did my 3 quizzes on the computer in the back of the room. Later in the day I did my free time on the new computer. That is what I did on Wednesday

Yesterday, I did a number game with my classmates. Then, I took my mail to the nurse. Later, I  played hockey in the gym with my other friends. After, I went on the computer and did my personal stuff like checking my gmail and yahoo. That is what I did Yesterday.

Creating Our Webzine

www.wix.com/shauniecole/africanamericanmagazine

I went on the computer and did my wireframe. I had to organize all of the 5 box pages. I also put the logo represents the website and the menu bar on each page. I added the home page and it would be my first page and it would be my first webzine page. That was my wireframe charts.

On my flowchart, I did the boxes on where I was going to put them. I copied and pasted the boxes from the menu organized. Then, I added text in my upcoming, home, songs, featured and about page. I changed some text in the box to make it even better. I printed the flowchart to my wireframes I have been working on. Everyone will see my flowchart and give feedback on it. 

I had searched for a logo on the website. My logo was the African American kids dancing. I looked for that logo image on Google images. In conclusion, I copied and pasted the image on a Word Document with my one sentence. Finally, I also printed that one out with the wireframe and flowchart.

I had began creating my website on wix.com. On wix.com, I had uploaded images of African American people on my home and featured page. I also had music on songs page that were soul and hip hop. On my upcoming page, I wrote a sentence but did not add a video to it. On my featured page I had added a few pictures of the African American artists. Then, I showed everyone my webzine that I made.

I did a presentation on my wix website. I made everyone see the African American artists. I also showed everyone the music I added on my songs page. I told my audience I have a video I was going to upload on my upcoming page. After I did my presentation, my peers and teacher gave me feedback for my website.

I went on my wix to change some things. On the Featured, I added text about the African American artists. I also added some text next to the celebrities on the home page. I moved the about page on the second page next to my home. That was the change on the website.

I did a final presantation on my website. My peers told me I should put text above pictures. They also told me I should change the background and make it brighter so everyone can see. I also was told I should name the artists song name on my songs page. I got a C on my final presentation.

The reason why I should choose African American magazine because all people who are african americans should be engaged to my website. All African Americans want to listen to songs and learn about new artists. African Americans should think the website it is interesting because they also want to see the african americans celebs. African Americans also want to know what is coming out in movies and shows. That is the reason why I chose African American magazine
