In my department is Kyle, Aspen, Kalí, and me--Juan Pedro. My job was to take pictures the video department, write an article about the video department and also looking up pictures of presidents. I found George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and William Jefferson Clinton. I learned how to use the camera a good thing about the camera is that you don't need to buy film, so you can take as many pictures as you want and it doesn't matter if you take a picture accidently which I did.

Hi my name is Kal’, and I'm in the web masters department. I learned how to get pictures off of the internet, how to use the camera, and how to frame them. I also learned how to pick the right printer. Some of my jobs were to take pictures of the wood shop department and of the cultural arts department and to write and introduction for the flag page. I also chose the pictures to put on the site, and decided how to put them in order on the site.

We studied Memorial Day and the meaning of the U. S. flag during this department project.
