This is blog four for Project Wonder. Currently, I am working on a Project Wonder interview. Not only did Mr. Ecker ask me to do this, but it is also a video to give the upcoming 6th graders a good idea of what Project Wonder is about. I have a list of questions provided for the interviews and will need to set up the interviews. I will be using the makerspace since the room is unoccupied, but a green screen will be needed since the room has a lot of materials. For me to set up a well-designed interview, I will need things like a microphone, multiple high-quality cameras, good lighting, and a simple background. The interview has not started yet but will be recorded soon. Some people may not be comfortable being in front of the camera, so instead of having everybody in the interview, I can only have the people who are willing to do it. We are also working on our ancient civilizations. We are currently modernizing our civilizations. As I had mentioned in my last blog, we are working on our own civilizations. So this is just an update on what I am doing in Project Wonder.

This blog is an update blog, in project wonder we have done more things that in my honest opinion, should be presented to everyone else. (If you had not seen or read the last blog, please go and read it, details in this blog may not summarize the last blog.) Currently, we are doing a mini-series, which somethings have been changed. Our director, Aloya, didn’t want to change the plot, but everyone else wanted to, numerous altercations were going on, but in the end, she relented and changed the plot. It has not been thoroughly gone through, (acting, script practicing, etc). A considerable amount of mistakes were made not only the plot but just the actors and what roles they play as. Acting has not yet started and we are also still practicing our scripts. Another thing that should be mentioned is that we are doing our ancient civilizations, which contains a map that is drawn out, what our civilization contains, what the climate is and other sorts of details that we have. My map, which contains many intricate details on the biomes, the cities and a lot of other things. So this summarizes what we are doing in project wonder, (currently).

Right now in Project Wonder, I am currently doing my Utopia Project. For our Utopia, we are creating our own country, and we have our own rules. I have finished my flag and the description of my flag. I really do enjoy my project on the Utopia, but I have not finished with my project yet. Also during project time, I am helping Aloya with her project, I am acting in her movie. I will also help her edit her project once we are done with recording and acting in the film. We are having a lot of problems with switching the actors and the video quality and also what we are acting. We have to keep re-acting the shots and clips. So far I really like the things that I am doing in Project Wonder. We don’t really get homework in Project Wonder, which is something that I do enjoy we don’t get. I also really enjoyed my Ancient Chinese project, I really enjoyed because I got to learn more about my own culture. People did all sorts of different things and I got to learn about Chinese music, art, paper money, etc. I also enjoyed what others had learned and what they had presented. These are some of the things that I enjoyed doing in Project Wonder so far in this school year.
