TLP Reflections

I liked some things but disliked some about the Teen Life Project. I didn't like doing the research because it was boring too write so much with so little information. Because there was so little information it was very hard to research and to write about my topic. One thing I liked about doing the research is that I learned a lot about my topic. One thing I liked about the teen life project is that we learned how to use wiki pages and to research more easily. I don't think I am going to use a wiki again in my life except for wikipedia. The part that I liked the most about the teen life project was doing the documentary. I really liked it because my topic was video games so we had a lot of fun filming us while we played video games and talking. One problem that everyone has and I noticed it on the documentary of everyone and in movies is that when they are filming any little thing happens and you laugh. At the beginning you laugh but then you sometimes get mad.

When Mr.Hide talked to us the first time about the teen life project no one was interested in it, I thought, oh no, another boring, non-sense project about nothing. Then, when we started doing all those weeks of research everyone got even more bored. Finally, came the big part, documentary. Everyone learned a lot from those documentaries, "Spell Bound," "Super Size Me," and some more documentaries we watched. We started doing the documentaries. Everyone with their different topic about today's issues. Nobody cared how other documentaries were doing, they only cared about theirs. All the students with the cameras and all that filming and recording. When it was the day before giving the documentary, almost all projects were not complete, so there was a lot of nervousness.

In conclusion doing the teen life project was a great experience were you can learn a lot of new things and you can have fun doing the documentary. I hope we don't have to do another project like that because it is to long, but I liked it.
