This girl is amazing.

WOW. Talk about talent.

HOW TO POST A VIDEO

1. Go to www.blogger.com

2. Log in to your account.

- Either "div3ninjas" or "div4ninjas"

- Your password is the subject that I teach you (with no spaces).

3. Open a new page and go to youtube

4. Search for your video

- This could be an informal or formal performance, a music video, a clip from a movie or tv show... as longs as it's related to music.

- Remember, this is a SCHOOL assignment. The video must be appropriate for school (language, content, etc).

5. Click on your chosen video to view it.

6. Look under the video and click on the "Share" tab. It looks like this:

7. Click on "Blogger."A new window will open (it should look just like when you're posting a reflection, only with the video first).

8. Click on the arrows on the name tab in the TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER, next to the link that says logout.

9. Choose your blog. This step is very important!!

10. You may either post the video first and then create a new post for your reflection, OR write your reflection underneath the video.

Leave me a comment if you have any other questions. Remember to re-read my post below for tips on getting a 4 in this assignment. If you are planning to hand write this reflection, make sure I know how to search the video you have chosen.

GOOD LUCK, Ninjas!

Peace & Love,

Ms. Lee

It's your turn!!

Hey everyone!

First of all, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who made it to the book fair last week. It was a huge success thanks to all of you, and especially thanks to my amazing STUDENT CREW volunteers!

For your next assignment, you will

1) POST a video of YOUR CHOICE on your blog, then

2) Write a reflection on it.

I'm really looking forward to what you choose to write about. I will review correct procedures to post videos from youtube, and remember, now that YOU get to choose what to write a reflection on, I expect that everyone will get a 4!

Ask yourself: Why did I choose this video? What impact has it made on me and my life? How does it make me feel? Why? What does it remind me of? (What connections did I make?) What did I like most about it? Ask questions, think deep, and remember to EDIT. I want a MINIMUM of 5 sentences this time. and NO sentences that say "...and that is my reflection." :)

You have plenty of time to complete this assignment. Don't leave it to the last minute!

The DUE DATE is: Tuesday, Feb. 22.

Marked out of 4.

Good luck!

See you in Guitar class!

Peace & Love,

Ms. Lee

The Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love?

Your next reflection!

One of my all-time favourites songs... I know, I know, I say that a lot! :)

Please write a thoughtful reflection on the video posted above. See previous posts for criteria to help you achieve your 4!!

Ask yourself:

How does the song make you feel? Do you like the melody? The lyrics? Think about all the elements that are in the song. Do you like the fact that there are four different singers? What is the message? Do you have any connections? Do you like how the music connects to the video?

Your reflection should NOT be one sentence long!

GOOD LUCK!

Due Date: Tuesday, February 8!

Peace & Love,

Ms. Lee

p.s. Check out some of your friend's blogs to help... There are quite a few "4" reflections out there now! :)
