Week 8- Reflect
I had at least three weeks to reflect about what my group and I have done in the past few weeks. All I can say, is that we are doing great and that we are staying on task. Last month, we did a presentation about what we have done so far. And it was very fascinating how the different groups are doing great. I saw a presentation about hot dogs or legs; they take a picture of a hot dog or a leg, and people will figure it out if its a hot dog or a leg. I also saw a presentation about my classmate sharing her experiences about taking care of the old people in a nursing home. This week's weekly topic is Donuts. I picked donuts because i believe that it is the best invention in the world! Donuts are soft, tasty, and delicious. Next week, our weekly topic is going to be about snails! And I am really excited about how they will look like up close.

Week 7- Coins
Last week's weekly topic was plants. This week, our topic is coins. This time, coins were not hard to find. They are everywhere at my house! I was really looking forward to take pictures using the lens, unfortunately, my partner Divina has the lens. Moreover, my teacher assigned our class a small project. We will have to make a presentation about what we have done so far. I believe that this is a great activity, because my teacher does not know if all of us are on task. He also told us to change a setting to our blog, so that it would save him and other people time to comment on other people's blog. Back to What I was saying! Coins are something that people hate having in their wallets. I agree, but we also have to think that if there's no coins, there are no paper bill. The picture below are the coins that I keep in a jar. And I cant believe how many coins I have from different places around the world! And I cant wait to look at each one of them through my macro lens.

Week 6- Plants
Last week's weekly topic was flower. This week's weekly topic is plants.
It is my partners turn, Divina to take three best pictures of plants. I
believe that plants are helpful to every living things because it helps
us to breathe in fresh air, while we animals help then by exhaling
carbon dioxide. Bamboo is one of my favorite plants because it is the fastest-growing woody plant on Earth. Sensitive or sleepy plant is also one of my favorites because
leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, to protect them
from predators, re-opening minutes later. That is why we chose plants
for our weekly writing topic. Moreover, taking a picture of a plant should be really easy, unlike diamonds and insects that we did in the past few weeks. Furthermore, my teacher assigned us to do a brief presentation about our project. Later on, we will all present it in class, and I think that this is a good activity, because we have a chance to share and get to know our classmate's project and what they have done so far.

Week 5- Diamonds & Flowers
Our weekly topic last week was diamonds. I have to admit that taking a picture of a diamond was kind of hard, because it was shining through the camera. This week, it was tough for me to come up with a weekly topic. So I asked my partner, Divina to come up with our weekly topic. Our topic for this week is flower, and it is my turn to take pictures using the lens. In the past few days, I have been looking everywhere for small flowers, so that I can take a picture of the whole thing. Luckily, I have found two. Also my teacher made us fill out a form about our 20% project, and in addition, we will also get points just for filling it out! Moreover, we have been getting more followers and likes on our Instagram page. The only hard part for me is that i have to come up with a caption the goes well or somewhat with the picture. Please, if you are reading this, follow us on Instagram @_macroworld. We dont bite, we only bark! Arf! Arf!

Week 4: Social network
This week, I have been very busy fixing and organizing our instagram page. Each week, we will have a weekly topic, and we will post at least three pictures. For me, it was very hard to think of deep quotes to put as a caption, so that we get people's attention. The other challenges are that it was very hard and it takes time to gain likes and followers because I think not everybody is interested in macro pictures. Fortunately, many photographers followed us and likes our pictures. On the other hand, thinking of a username took us very long to figure out, because we had to think of something unique, and very easy to remember. Then we came up with the username "_macroworld". My partners and I agreed that the pictures we post on instagram are 100% ours! That means we wont steal pictures from other users or get it off the internet. Below is a preview of our instagram page; Our username is _macroworld, so please do not hesitate to follow us. We follow back!
