Transitioning into the Cambridge Portfolio Project

     Its hard to believe we're already starting to work on our Cambridge portfolio projects. It feels like we're still in the first semester. I hope when I look back on this in a few years, I'll be proud of it. Time to get started! 

    In the last two classes, we were getting ready to start the project. The first day, we did a NearPod (an interactive learning tool), took a few notes on film openings, and answered some questions. The second day, which was Tuesday, we went over what a blog should include and a few more parts of the portfolio project. 

    Today, on January 22nd, I have officially started the project. For the past 2 hours, I've been looking at past examples through my teacher's website (tstok.net), where she includes all the links to her past students' blogs under "Projects". She has all her students on there since the 2014-2015 school year, which is impressive, because I can't imagine copying and pasting every link of all my students into a website, including their last name and Cambridge number. I tried to go through a few from every year, but I realised that some of their projects were different than mine (I may have been looking at the wrong place). Also, a few projects were unavailable. 

    I haven't been through that many, but I found one that I enjoyed watching. I'm not sure what year it was from, but I'm pretty sure it was recent (2021-2025). I think what caught my eye was the quality of the video, since many of the projects I watched were a bit blurry. Also, their introduction was creative. I like how they included the credits (on paper and pinned it to a board), how the flashlight guided your eyes around the board, and how the title was shown (looks like cut-out letters from a newspaper, and they move around a bit).

This is the link to the project:
