Today in twenty percent Malloy, Kate, and, I worked on finishing up some things for our slide show for our final presentation. Mallory went on iMovie and put all of our pictures and tumbling videos together to create one full video. It took us awhile to figure out how to do this but Mallory eventually figured it out. Mallory is going to put the video on our slide. Mallory still needs to add a couple more pictures on a few other slides. We ended up added another slide. We have a total of 13 or 14 slides now. Our final presentation for our twenty percent project will be finished after all that. The stretcher its self  and all the construction is already done. Mallory finished that over Christmas break. Over the weekend we will practice saying or parts, so we will know them by tuesday, the day of our final presentation.

Today we had our 20% project day on Thursday since today is our last day of school until we come back from our Christmas break. Today Mallory, Kate, and I added pictures to our finial presentation slides. We have not finished all of our pictures on the slides but we will finish those over Christmas break. All together we have 12 slides not including the video of someone tumbling. Mallory also combined all of our slides together. Mallory also started construction last week and will work a little more over christmas break. The construction of the stretcher will be finished by the time we come back from our Christmas break. Today we all stayed in one room because someone was filming in the other room so today was very noisy. We got off task a couple of times but still managed to get everything we needed to get done, done.

Today for 20% day Me, Mallory, and Kate all worked on the slides for our 20% project final presentation. I finished my three slides. Mallory will work on the tumbling video over Christmas break. We also went over some things. Mallory was unable to get started on the construction of the stretcher due to a cheer competition last weekend. Mallory will probably start construction on the stretcher over the Christmas break. It will probably be finished when we get back from Christmas break. We also let Bailey practice her make up skills on mine and Kate's wrists. She made it look like we had really had something happen to us.  Also most of our dates have been kinda screwed up lately. But all in all we will begin our stretcher over christmas break, and hopefully finish it over Christmas break.

Today Mr. Trione let Mallory, Kate, and I make three D models of the stretcher on his board. We drew everything out with dry erase makers. We did i front view of the stretcher on the door and a side view of the stretcher on the board. We labeled everything so you all can kinda get an idea of how it is going to end up looking, There are a lot of parts to this stretcher, for example, the block of wood, the carbines, the washer, the eye screws, the flat rope, the pulley, and the foot whole. We also planned out a small guide to how our  final presentation will work. We will add more slides. Mallory will do slides on construction, supplies, and resolved hook issue/replacement. I will do slides on due dates, changed supplies and changed money and the hook. Kate will do the title page, model slide, tips, and how to use. We will all read the summary. I will also read the what inspired us to do this project slide. Here is a picture of basically what we did today..

Last Thursday we presented our 20% project presentation and we realized we needed to do a lot of work. On Friday I was not there for 20% day but Mallory and Kate informed me on everything we did that day. Mallory was working on the project Thursday night and decided the hooks were not going to work, but we came up with a different thing. We are still going to use the wood and everything, just no hooks. Instead we are using flat rope to slide between the frame and the door  then we will put the washer on it then tie a large knot then close the door. Also Mallory found some pulleys that will work and that are for free. We do not need to pay for the hooks anymore, so Mallory will give our money back to use if we had already paid. Hopefully we will start the construction of the pulley soon.

Today Mallory, Kate, and I combined all of our slide shows together. Kate and I decided to have three slides instead of two. We now have nine slides instead of six. Kate’s extra slide is about how the stretcher will help us stretch and how the girl will model the stretcher. My extra slide is about why we chose the stretcher for our twenty percent project. We edited all the slides and made them stand out to get peoples attention, so they will want to use something like the stretcher to become more flexible. We finished all of the slides and are ready to percent on Thursday, November twenty first. Each of us will speak for a little longer than a minute. For our hook for our presentation we will have a video of Mallory tumbling on our power point. If not mallory she will find a video of someone else who is very good at tumbling and put it on the power point.

Today Mallory, Kate, and I all worked on our update presentation. We each have two slides that we are going to each have three slides to talk about. My two slides are about how much money we will need for all the supplies, and my second slide was about all the due dates for the supplies and the time we will start making the stretcher and the date that we will finish the stretcher. Mallory's slides are about the supplies and the construction. Kate's slides are about tips, benefits, and prevention. Each slide is decorated with pictures and creative fonts and backgrounds that go with our slides. I got the pictures off of google and made the slide show on key note. Our update presentation will be five minutes long. Each person will speak about her side they made. Each slide should be a little bit under one minute long.
