G.H. 2.4

     Hello my fellow bloggers! I hope all of your projects are going well. This week was actually a very big week for me. I've always loved chicken and beg my mom to cook it all the time, but no one else loves it as much as me, so this week I decided to learn how to make it myself!

    I have tried to make chicken before by frying it, but it always ended up burnt. This time I decided to bake the chicken instead and it turned out super well. The first thing I did was cut the chicken in half so it didn't take too long to bake. Then I decided to put a generous amount of salt and pepper on the chicken and let it sit for a bit. After that I put it into the oven and let it cook at 350 degrees. I initially thought it would take 20 minutes, but it actually took 30 minutes. 

    This chicken turned out very well and I felt very accomplished after this week. I think I am going to cook chicken with some sort of sauce for my final three course meal. All in all I'm very pleased with my progress so far and will be learning how to make another dinner dish next week!

    Thanks for taking the time to read my blog!

    This sounds really good! You’ll have to keep track of your “do’s and don’t” as you go on because I’m sure everyone has their preferences. Are you working with entrees specifically during this project? Great job thus far!

Learning Sign Language 1.1

      For my first week of Genius Hour I learned the ASL alphabet. It was a lot more fun than I expected. I used the The Comprehensive Signed English Dictionary and the pictures it has in the front cover of the book. I broke the alphabet into sections and learned the letters bit by bit. A through D was very easy to learn, and I caught onto them very quick. I really struggled on the letters F, S, and T. To fix this little issue I watched a YouTube video of a lady signing the alphabet and signed in time with her. Throughout the week I also filmed myself signing the alphabet so I could see if I was holding my hands correctly.        Next week I will be learning basic greetings and phrases. Phrases like: "Hi! How are you?" and "What's your name?" will be a very beneficial to learn from the start. Hopefully I enjoy learning them as much as I did the alphabet.

1.6 G.H. ASL

      Hey guys! Welcome back to the blog! I haven't been following my initial outline very closely, I thought why not shake things up again and take his week to learn about the ASL culture! I read a couple articles that really gave me some insightful knowledge. The first article I read was from Minnesota Hands and Voices. The article talked about the deaf community and the benefits of being involved in it. Being involved helps improve one's self esteem, gain fellowship and respect the use of sign language.      The second article I pretty much covered the same topics as the first one. It talked a bit more about how to properly identify a deaf person. The appropriate terms are "hard of hearing" or "deaf". Offensive terms toward a deaf person is "disabled" or "hearing impaired" are offensive. I also watched a video on negation in ASL. To make a sentence negative the most efficient technique is to shake your head.      All in all this week w...

G.H. 2.2

           Hey guys welcome back ! This week I decided I would make waffles to kick off the second week of my genius hour. I have come to the conclusion that breakfast food is quite easy to make. Waffles were a pretty cut and dry meal. I used Bisquick batter, and I personally hate the way it tastes, so I decided to add sugar to make it more flavorful.           After I read the directions, and got out the ingredients I mixed them up in a bowl. My mom said I need to be sure stirred the batter to the right consistency. The batter shouldn't be watery like soup, but you don't want it to be clumpy either. I stirred in search of the goldie locks consistency and once I thought I'd found it, I poured the batter onto the waffle maker.         A major lesson I learned through out this meal was patience. There were a few moments where I was so hungry and curious that I wanted to open the waffle maker early, but I ...
