Journal - Who is the oldest family member of your family you have ever met? What do you know about your family history? Have your parents ever told you anything thing about your family history?  Do you know what kind of heritage you have? Explain as much as you can about your family and any history you have knowledge of.

The oldest member of my family that  I have ever met was my great-great grandma. Her name was Mem. I do not know a lot about my family history. My parents have never told me anything about my family history really. They only tell a few stories about their grandparents and the crazy things they did. I have no idea what kind of inheritance I have. I really do not know much about my family history. I believe my mom told me that  after her grandma, there is not much record of her family. I can't remember the whole story though. My grandpa has tried to do research on our family, but he hasn't found too much. I only know stories such as my great-grandparents on my dad's side ran away and got married at a gas station. This is all I know about my family history.

Journal - What have you learned about making a website? Explain.

A website name is harder to come up with than I thought. I thought I could come up with a website name and URL much easier. The website process is actually easier than I thought with the help of wix.com. I did not know that websites could make websites. I find the process very cool. I can make organizers and change colors. The process is very easy.

Journal - What do you know about building and creating a website? Have you ever done it before?  List qualities of a well designed and well functioning website.

I do not know how to create a website. I do know that when you build a website that you need tabs to organize and a template. However, I have never done it before. A well designed website is very organized. Anyone can understand it and use it. All the links and tabs on the website function properly. These are some of the qualities that a well designed website would have.

Journal - Tell me about two things you've learned while creating you stop-motion animation video. Go in to detail about those two items.

I have learned that I am terrible at taking pictures. Not many of my pictures turned out how I thought they would be. Also, I learned a simple way to make a movie. I had no idea how to make a short video. This was pretty cool to me.
