Literary Blog #8


For the Reality TV project, I'm working with Sarah Baxter. Here's our brainstorming:
- Alpaca vs. Llama
It's similar to the Amazing Race, but the contestants have to either ride alpacas or llamas to their given destination where they will find clues to advance to the next round. The grand prize will be a new car. We came up with this idea because alpacas and llamas are very similar and we both find them funny. It will be on Global TV, before or after prime time.
- Ostrich Travels
Basically, the two of us will travel the world on our ostriches being interrupted by daily problems in foreign countries. This show would be definitely unique for all audience ages. I think it would be seen on a channel like Spike.
- Pancake Wars
This show is where contestants will have to build a building, monument, or place (chosen out of a hat) with pancakes.  With each round, one group will be disqualified and the rest will advance. The prize will be free pancakes for a year provided by Perkins. This would show on food network, before prime time.
- Groovy Juvies
A new and exciting show where juvenile delinquents will have to compete in a dance competition to win their way out of jail. This will show on A&E during late prime time.

How Google Docs Can Help Me



     Google Docs can help me by allowing me to work at the same time as others, on the same thing.  Anywhere in the world, as long as there is Internet connection.  My mom can't drive, so sometimes I can't get places.  With Google Docs I don't have to be in the same room as my group.  It helps me by allowing more than one person work on something at the same time.  Google Docs also automatically saves the documents, this helps me because I have the tendency to forget to save things. With Google Docs I don't really have to worry about saving.  I don't have a cellphone so it makes it more difficult to stay in contact with people.  I also don't get the Internet without asking a parent for them to turn it on.  Which will make it hard to use Google Docs, but it will be easier because I now have a reason to have the Internet on.  Google Docs also, helps me by allowing me to choose who I want to see my work, not just everyone.  It makes thing a lot faster and easier to do, instead of emailing every person in my group.
