How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

I am about 30% of the way through on my infograhic. I'm still posting facts and statistics about my global issue. I will not be ready to embed my infographic on to my blog by the end of the hour. I have kind of used my time wisely. I can get easily distracted sometimes but when I sit down and focus I'll be okay.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

We brainstorm and collect information so we have everything we need have before we put it in a final draft. Just in case we have some information wrong we can fix it before we turn it in.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

I kind of had an interesting weekend. On Friday, my friend and I tried to put some highlights in my hair but it didn't turn out the way we wanted it to. The dye was old I think because my other friend gave it to me a while back so the dye turned my hair gray. So now I have gray highlights but my friend and I are fixing it after school. On Saturday, I just went out to the Cheesecake Factory with my friends and then studied for the ACT.
