English
For the English portion of our project my partner and I worked together to create a graduation speech. The thinking skill we had to use for our last project was synthesis. We found speech examples on google and then synthesized to make one flowing speech. First, we read over each one in order to get a feel on what we would have to write. I wrote down parts of the speeches we liked and then I sat down to write our own speech. We combine memories from not just academics, but sports and the feelings of all for years of high school. We had to make sure we used the correct wording and length for our speech. Even though it wasn't for real graduation, it was still meant to resemble a graduation speech meaning we had to use common vocabulary and non lengthy sentences so people could quickly process what we was being said.

Art
For the art portion of our project we asked people for the memories throughout their four years of high school. They mainly sent us one of happy times or exciting. We then synthesized our video by taking multiple peoples videos and combining them all together so they fit and look like one video. We also use three different clips for audio. In the beginning and the end, we used the "Suit Life On Deck" graduation speech. We then found a speeches by Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington and combined them as well, making it sound like one speech with only two different audios, instead of all three.
