In class we have been reading and writing graphic novels. We started by a reading teacher named Mr.Debarry coming in every week and talking to us about graphic novels. Then reading them with our book clubs and taking notes. We did that for quite some time. Then our teacher said that we were going to be writing one. After that, ideas just kept on flowing through my head. Then I came up with the idea I came up with. I started drawing and coming up with the story as I went along. This was not working. I am not a very good drawer so this was so hard for me. I decided that I was going to write the story first and then the drawings. The process was long and hard. I went through many pieces of paper and broke many tips of pencils. But I am supper happy and proud of what it turned out to be hope you enjoy.

Interview and site visit- Capstone
Now since we are much farther along our process in the capstone project we have to think about site visits and interview’s. For my capstone project I am researching Do Cookie Dough, Dylan’s Candy Bar,Baked By Melissa, and Baked in Color. I at least wanted to have 1 interview. For me Baked In Color was pretty easy to get a interview with because she is my friend’s mom. The person I interviewed was Julie Waxman, the owner of Baked In Color. I went to her house and she answered all of my questions and repeating thing’s so I could type it. She also showed me logos, what the cookies can come in, and her way to package it, she also showed me her products that were going out. Julie was so nice and gave me some treats to take home. I learned that color was super big and that was why she created Baked in color. I also learned that she had trial and error and her first attempt’s were not pretty. you will see some of her product in the picture below.
This is a cookie tube that has 30 bit size cookies, one is $15 and for 4 it’s $50. then there is a small cookie bag with 5 classic sized cookie’s for $6 you can get the bag in bite size and mini.
These are her new product called slutty brownies. they consist of cookie dough, brownie and oreo’s. these individually are $5 for one and as a cookie pie it is $40
These are her stickers that she puts on a lot of her products.
This a large cookie jar that is outgoing. this is $50 but you can get it in small for $15 and medium for $25
I am still trying to get a interview with somebody from another brand to and have been trying very hard sending emails, calling and more. I do plan to go to all the places for my sight visit and I am super excited.
Today is Wednesday May 23 and I had the best day ever! As your read before what I was researching, you know that we need to have a site visit and interview. For me this worked out great. Even though it took a LOT of work to get a interview with people it was worth it. I got a interview with Dana Rodio the vice president of communication and events for Dylan’s Candy Bar. This was so great because I tried so hard to get one. Then today I went into the city with my mom and then we went to all of the places. First we went to Dō cookie dough. I got a scoop of dunkadoo and my mom got a scoop of sweet and salty. they both were so good. Then we asked if Kristen was there and she was she then came down and I spoke to her it was insane. We took a few menu’s so I could have them for my final project. We also bought a 8 oz container to go and cookie bites. The flavors we got were so good. Next place we went was Dylan’s Candy Bar. This was my favorite of all of them because this was my favorite place since I was so little. I bought a ton of things there, and took so many pictures. At first it was so overwhelming because there was SO much candy. Then we had to go to or final stop Baked by Melissa. This shop looks so clean and slick because the cupcakes make the walls pop. We got 12 cupcakes and asked for extra stickers, They were so nice and gave me 45 extra if not more stickers. Overall this was such a good day and I am so excited for the final presentation.
Spanish Restaurant-Field
Yesterday my grade and I went on a field trip to a Peruvian Restaurant called Pollo A La Brasa to sum up our Spanish learning that we have been doing for the past years. To prepare for this trip, in spanish class we were learning what the dishes we were going to be getting what they were called and how to order them. The dishes were served family style and there were four different dishes plus arroz(rice) and a tea(I did’t like very much). The first dish was lomo saltado( steak and fries and vegetables) , personally I did’t like it because I do not eat red meat but if you did it looked and smelled very good and I know a ton of my friends said it was their favorite. The next dish was pollo saltado, this one was my favorite because I love chicken. This one was the only one I ate but it was so good that I did’t mind. The next dish was a fish dish I do not eat fish and people at my table did not seem to like it as much as the others. The last dish was a meat dish with noodles it seemed good but I did not try it. Overall this trip was a great experience and I am so happy that we got to sum up our learning by this trip
