20 Time Project: Progress 8-31-15

For my 20 Time project, I plan to create a popular blog that shows different unique recipes and is also entertaining!  I have called it “Everything On Top!!!; A Chef’s Guide to Everything On Top Of Anything!!!”  So far I have started the blog, but that’s about it!  I’m not very far along, but I have big plans!  Every weekend, I plan to post a new recipe along with a video tutorial.  During the week, I will be planning the theme, who is guest-starring, and what I will be making!  Right now I’m putting it all together, and narrowing down my thought process.  I’m starting to think about what my first video will be showing.  My first tutorial will be posted this weekend, so check out my blog at everythingontop.com!  I can’t wait to get started!!!

20 Time: August 26-31

For my project I'm doing "open when" letters for my friends' birthdays. This week I managed to find ideas for my letters, to list what supplies I'll need and their prices, and have decided who I'll be sending the letters to. I'm working on writing my first letter or at least begin to draft a few of them until I know exactly what I want to write in them.. I plan to decorate the envelopes once I finish my drafts of the letters I'm sending as well as the box the letters will be sent in. I can't wait to send my letters to my friends and see how they react.

Week One 20 Time Current Work

What I have worked on as so forth is decided what I shall preform, which is a critical video review for the internet to see, and the film that I shall review, which is the 2005 Disney film, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." What I am working on right now are writing notes for the film to critique on and use to note on in the video. What I will work on in the future is getting the school and non-school appropriate scripts started.

20 time project:

I finally thought of my 20 time project idea. I accomplished that. It was very stressful, but I finally found something that I’ll be able to research for 8 weeks, and make a project on it. As of right now I’m working on my proposal, and getting that all finished up since I thought of my idea. After I finish my proposal I plan to get researching on Wednesday for our first actual 20 time day.

20 Time

For 20 time I chose to do a project on the children on the foster care system of America. In this project we focus on the children's need for utilities between homes. Most times a foster child travels between houses with nothing other than a trash bag to carry their belongings. Our goal is to provide them with a suitcase and some belongings that will lessen the stress and trauma that comes with the foster care system. I have wanted to do this project for a long time and I am happy to have time to start it!

20 Time

I really have mixed feelings about 20 Time.  On one side, I really think 20 Time is a good idea.  Most teachers don't really let us work on things that we want to work on.  For some people this is what makes school boring for them.  If they are always doing projects and things that they don't want to do, this will cause them to not like school.  I think 20 Time gives students a good opportunity to do what they really want to do, and this could possibly make them excited to go to school... at least on the days that we work on our 20 Time projects.  I am actually really excited to work on the topics that I want to work on.   On the contrary, I somewhat do not like 20 Time.  Coming up with an idea and a project of your own is a challenge for me.  I'm great at doing projects when I know exactly what to do, and when I'm told what to do.  Having not many limits on what the project is, is difficult for me.  For my project I am going to create a YouTube channel with my cousin, and I think that once I get going and start getting new ideas, I will really enjoy 20 Time; I just have to get into the groove of it first.

20 Time

For my 20 time project, I have decided to try meditation. Meditation is a topic that I have been interested in for a while now but I have never actually looked into it. I know very very little about it and would like to see what it can benefit. I am a very impatient and anxious person and I am interested to see if meditating can help improve this. I will document my findings and research as I try meditation for the next few months. I'm excited to continue with this project! :)

20 Time

I accomplished finding something I am passionate about and ending up going with an art portfolio. I am working getting the supplies I need and starting the process of creating my first piece of artwork. I plan to finish my first piece by September 16 and to be starting on the second piece by then. 

20 Time

I think I know what I'm going to do for 20 time. One of my old teachers at SMS knows a bunch of other teachers all over the world. I'm going to ask her to set me up with some students from different countries and be their "Pen Pal" We could write letters to eachother then eventually Facetime or other things like that. I would really like to learn more about culture of other countries and I want to tell other people about living in the US and hopefully I can become really good friends with them. I'm really excited about this project and how it turns out!

This week, I figured out what I am going to do for my project. I am going to create 3 instagram pages. The first one will have positive things on it. The other with neutral and the last with negative things. I am going to see which page will get the most followers. I want to see if people on Instagram are more positive, neutral or negative and which topic/theme is more popular.

This week I took the personality/interest survey which helped me to find an idea for my 20 time project. I am working on researching my topic to get a better grasp on how to go about pursuing my idea. I need to complete my proposal template and start working on starting my project.

20 Time - Where Am I?

I have finished my proposal and have decided on my 20 Time project. I will be finding out how to perform a surgery. I am unsure of which one yet, but I will figure that out soon. In my project I will define each steps of a surgery that is really conducted on humans and have pictures to go along with my explanations. This will allow me to learn how surgeons really save a person's life. I am really excited to start my research this week and learn more about the human body.

This week for 20 time, I am really just getting started on my project. I took a survey to see where my interests lie and it helped me a lot. I am still trying to come up with an idea on what I want to do. I have a couple different things in mind that I might do, so there's a start. I think I am either going to do something that involves my flute and learning to play a more challenging song, or something medical like how to give effective CPR. I really do need to figure this out soon but it is coming along I think.

20 Time

My project is to help the homeless around the United States! I have always wanted to create a package full of food, clothing, blankets, etc. I just want to make another person's day better I intend to help the homeless around the whole country. This week I have decided that this will be my project. Right now I am finishing my proposal for my organization. The next thing I will do, is research. I will research what they need most in the different areas.

20 Time- Where am I at

This week I was able to find the idea I was going to research for the semester. I am going to be researching and presenting how much better you do as a student athlete that is involved in their school compared to students that aren't involved at all. I am trying to figure out something I can bring in when I present my project to help represent this idea. I will need to figure that out to finish my proposal by Wednesday.

20% time Lane Mauch

I am planning on making a project on the history and different types of chokes for shotguns. I am hoping to figure out the mechanics and different types of chokes for shotguns this week. I figured out what I am going to research and how I am going to present my project in a physical form.

20 Time Official Project

I have decided that my project will consist of folding the first four Harry Potter books to show a specific magical idem from each.  SS will have the Mirror of Erised, CoS will portray a snake fang/diary (haven't decided yet), PoA will show an hour glass, and the GoF will of course, have a goblet of fire in it.  I'm really excited for this project because I will either fail, or be fantastic.

20 Time Progress

I recently finished my proposal and now that I have fully figured out exactly what I am planning on doing I am ready to begin the process. I chose to do an experiment involving several different kinds of balls (if you think that's funny, you're a chump.) It will include a tennis ball, golf ball, baseball, racquetball, and a basketball. I am testing to find out which ball, depending on weight, will travel the farthest when getting hit by a baseball bat. I am hoping to find a different answer than what I expect, but I guess I'll just have to find out.

Sparkles: A New Light on Twilight

I am not a fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. I think the main character is uninteresting and vain, and her love interests even more so. That being said, I have only read half of the first book. My project would be reading the entire Twilight saga and reviewing each of them to find out why people love the series so much. This week, I have decided on a topic (researching Twilight), written a blog post, and have fought the overwhelming feeling of "I'm going to regret this." I will go to the library soon to check out the books and then, I will read them.

I've got an idea on what my 20time project is going to be. I'm going to make a parkour video. It's not just me doing it, though. I'm going to try to get a couple other people involved in this. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but it's definitely going to be something different. How I'm going to do this is first learn some parkour and do some planning on what moves I'm going to do on the video. Then I'll have to track down at least two other people who might be interested in this project and knows some parkour. I'm not going to be real picky, but it can't be real simple, like jumping off a wall and landing on your feet. It has to be at least partly legit, and the whole video has to last for 3-4 minutes. I'm really excited to get ready for this.

20 Time: Projeto Português

This week I decided to learn Portuguese. Over the summer I randomly took an interest in the language, and 20 Time has allowed me to actually learn it! I started an account on Duolingo (a language learning software) about 4 weeks ago and am currently at “26% fluency” in the language. My goal is to achieve 45+% fluency before the end of the semester. I will try to practice everyday so that my “streak” record is at least 30+ days. I am currently working to nail down the details about my project, and finish my proposal. I am really excited to start learning a new language!

20 Time Progress!

This week, I figured out my project, which will be me having little "adventures" every weekend to see what I can discover about the world, as well as myself. My final product will be an iMovie of all of my awesome experiences, like different hikes, runs, hot air ballooning, and more! I'm really looking forward to my project because I think it will give me a chance to take a break from all of the stress of school and just go have some fun! I also finished my proposal. Currently, I'm working on coming up with a "bucket list" with all sorts of adventurous ideas to try! Next, I think it's time to start adventuring! I will start my expeditions and take pictures and videos as I go along so that I can begin my iMovie. This week was great and I'm so excited to get my project in full swing!

This week I took the interest inventory survey to help me come up with ideas for our 20 time  project. I wasn’t really sure where to start to find an idea for the project, so I went online and went looking for ideas. I listened to what other people were doing their projects on to help me get an idea for  a project.  I found an idea to do my project on and I just started the  proposal template on my project. I have being working on my template and trying to plan what  I want to do next with my idea. Next, I plan to finish the template and decide what I want to do next with project. I plan to look at what others feel are important to know about putting and test it out myself.

Today during twenty Time, I figured out what I was going to try to accomplish. I am researching weather or not that he theory of making dinosaurs in Jurassic park is possible with today's technology. I am doing this because after reading the book and watching the movies, I pondered the thought if this could actually happen,"Can humans create dinosaurs?'' If this is possible I want somebody to try and make a dinosaur because it would be the coolest thing to see a living dinosaur just feet away from you. I cant wait to find out!!!

This week I accomplished an Interest survey and learned a lot about myself. Right now I am brushing out some of the knots in my project. The rest of the week I plan to search for recipes and get prepared for my first treat!

20 Time

For my 20 Time project I have finished the proposal and now the blog post. The first day I got a good start on my project. I managed to create a framework for my project, which is to design and write a side scroller game. The game will be a lot like Flappy Bird. I want to make the game fun. It would be nice to have a website for it as well. I am generally excited to try this project. I am not exactly sure off the direction I'm heading, but I will definitely have something to show for 20 Time by the end of the semester.

20 Time Project: Progress

Brianapenkeyman. Cancer Instagram Quotes. 2015. Instagram, n.p.

This week during 20 time, I made some great progress in my project. I have know for a while what I wanted to do, but I have taken it a step further this week. I in depth planned my project and found a fun name for it. It is called CANcer. This just symbolizes that we can survive cancer and we can find a cure. I finished up my proposal and have almost my whole project planned out. Right now I am working on starting an Instagram account. I will post inspiration for those people who are patients, survivors, and anyone who has an experience with cancer. I hope to post personal and inspiring stories, and make a difference in others lives. I am also researching and learning all I can about cancer. This will be what I present my final product on. Next I plan to continue researching and posting on my Instagram account and begin the actual project.

I accomplished the interest survey. I am working on finding a topic for my 20 time project. I plan on finding out what I’m going to do for my project and once I find that out I will finish the Proposal Template.

20 Time Project: Progress

During Twenty time, I managed to finish my proposal template and (obviously) my blog post. My topic, unfortunately for the faint hearted, will be all about spiders. I'm not exactly anticipating much from the project but it does sound fun writing and presenting about tiny eight legged monsters. So far, I've hardly looked for information surrounding the topic but I have an idea about the information I will collect, and I feel like our effect on spiders isn't a good one. By next week I hope to have a good portion of the project understood, and have a specific objective made. I'm not very happy about having to look at spiders for forty minutes every single week, but I have to do it for the innocent lives of spiders taken by the ignorant people of the world, including myself.

I accomplished brainstorming this week. I'm currently working on finding a project by filling out the survey to find my interests and watched a video from the 20 Time website to give myself ideas. I plan to find my project within this next week.

20 Time Update

Today I have accomplished an idea for 20 time. Hailey Nicolls and I will create a youtube channel and post weekly videos. We don't know what topic we will do yet though. Our goal is to see what it is like to have to edit and post the videos. It will also allow us to be creative and do different fun projects. Overall I am happy with how our day went because we have a rough idea about what we are going to do.

I succeeded in getting a large number of good stories to draw inspiration from. Currently I am working on studying each, and discerning the good from bad, and what techniques the author uses. After that I will work on the rough draft.

20 time Ukulele Project

I have accomplished learning some Ukulele Chords. I am still learning to tune the Ukulele, and learning how to play certain chords. I need to find a song, so I can know the certain chords I need to play. The most important thing I need to learn first are the chords.

This week, I accomplished the Interests Inventory paper because I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do, but now I think i'm going to do something that has to do with food. Right now I am figuring out if I want to make and sell a small cookbook of deserts or start a blog about food. Next, I plan to write down what my favorite desserts are and find new ones to try and bake.

This week I have learned the alphabet, in sign language, and I can do it consistently. I'm currently working on learning names for people in my family, such as dad, mom, sister, and brother. Next I'm hoping to fluently spell a sentence.

My Opinion 20 Time

In my opinion, 20 Time will be a great use of our Wizard Days especially since most classes on Wizard Days are just disregarded as "wastes of time" I also believe that 20 Time will be a great use of our creativity and innovative skills. I hope that it will also create a space where everyone can create. However, I don't actually have a clue of what I'm going to do for 20 Time.

20 time

I  think 20 time is a great idea because it allows my creativity to show.  I believe 20 time is where great ideas form and one day it those ideas can change the world. 20 time is also a good way to be collaborative instead of just being individuals on a  project. My idea is to learn about the conspiracy theories about there being a tunnel from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to Stone Mountain in Colorado springs.

20 time blog

I have an Idea about having a chill room. During school at anytime if a kid starts to have an anxiety attack, gets too stressed to think, starts getting really depressed; they can simply go to the chill room, no questions asked. In order for students not to abuse the room, they would need parents permission, for the kids to access the room at any time. If a student was feeling "ill" during class they would simply have to ask the teacher about the assignment they are working on, and leave, no questions asked. They could either stay the whole class period, or take a small break. Teachers could have printed out assignments, presentations, so the student isn't behind, and has more anxiety. Depression and anxiety is a very serious and scary thing. If there is a quite place that students can escape to, with out hindering their grade, it might lessen suicides or self harm in the school.

I think 20-Time is going to be a great opportunity for students to express their own ideas and allow their creative sides to show. In main-stream education, regulations for projects and papers are often given out and restrict the creativeness of the student. With 20-Time, students have the freedom to choose something that interests them and that they are passionate about. I am excited to start 20-Time!

20 Time

I think that 20 time is a very interesting and wonderful idea, and I'm thrilled to be able to participate in it. The idea of giving students time to create something based on whatever they want is, in my opinion, great. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing yet, but I've heard some really awesome ideas from other people! I am very excited to see how everyone's ideas turn out. Overall, I think that 20 time should be incorporated into more schools and businesses, as it can clearly be very beneficial, such as with the success of it at Google.

Recently I've gotten really into horror, mostly short online stories called "creepypastas". I've discovered through personal experimentation, that being exposed to too much horror can have some ill effects such as, inability to sleep, being easily frightened by small animals, and an unhealthy habit of waking periodically due to a door creak. Despite all of these however, I find myself coming back for more and more, and I want to know why. What makes these horrifying, mind-numbingly creepy, fear enducing  stories so addictive? What techniques do the authors use to weave such fantastically terrifying monsters and situations? How does the reader, become so terrified yet so enthralled with the ending to such works of art? And why does the reader always seem to come back for more? I want to find all these answers, or most of them, and create a story of my own, implementing what I have learned, to see if I can make a story worthy of scaring the socks off of anyone who dares read it!

I really love the 20 time idea.  When Mrs. Sutton announced that we were going to be doing this I was estatic. I have had several ideas in what to work on I couldn't decide on which I wanted to do.  I made several small goals and one rather large goal. A few of my small ideas and goals are among the few that have no reason.  I would very much like to bring the school together as a team and do the time warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show. The larger goal I have chosen to work on is to have fundraising at all times during the school year. I still have yet to figure how to actually do this but Im sure I can.

I am really excited for 20 Time each Wednesday for this semester. I would say I'm artistic, so I'm very thrilled that we get to create something. When we brainstormed a few days ago, I came up with multiple ideas for my project, some good and some very far out there. I remember one of them being for me to audition for America's Got Talent, which I knew was way too crazy for even me. But in the midst of my bizarre ideas, one of them seemed to pop out at me, like it was calling out to me to choose it. My idea was to create a picture, but instead of drawing, all of the lines would be made out of words. And not just any words, words that have a true meaning in my life, almost like my life story. I have decided that this will be my 20 Time project and I can't wait to see the product of it.

I think 20 time is an awesome idea

I personally think that 20 time is a great idea. I think it will help students set and achieve their goals. I love the idea of challenging us to come up with our own project and that we have a whole semester to complete our project. My project is to learn Italian.

 I haven't decided on a topic yet but I do love the idea of 20 time. I love working on projects, especially ones we get to choose ourselves and not being instructed on the information we need to learn. This is a great way to get to know ourselves and our interests and do something fun while still working hard. I really love how this is something we get to choose because it's a nice way to express ourselves and discover more of our interests and we learn to try new things.

In my opinion, 20 time is an amazing idea!  If feel like everyone needs a little time to just be creative!  I feel that creativity is an important part of life!  If we didn't have creativity, where would our iPhones, laptops, and other devices come from?  I'm so excited to get started on my project!  I really want to create a recipe blog! I would post innovated original recipes and videos to show how to make them!  Because I love being with my friends, I would also get their opinions and have them "guest star" on the blog!

After the 20 time idea was introduced I became excited to start the project. Although, I have no intriguing 

ideas for my project I'm still fond of 20 time. I think once my thoughts get rolling and I've nearly met my goal it will be rewarding and interesting to see what I was capable of achieving. I can't wait to get the spark I need to get started. 

20 Time

I love the idea of 20 time! I think it is awesome that we get some time to work on something we are passionate about, especially since we don't get much say in what we do most of the time. I am, however, having a lot of trouble coming up with an idea for my project. I have a lot of the bad ideas but no really great ideas.

I think 20 time is a good idea to use in class. But I think it is pretty difficult to come up with good ideas. I think that if i can find the right idea that 20 time will be fun.

In class we have only done 20 time once but, I like it so far. It is nice break from the normal classwork that we do on a daily basis. I also like how we get to choose the entire project, and how it is all up to us. I believe that everything is going well, and for next time I hope we do the same thing, we or start our projects.
