The Journey To Freedom

For these last few weeks of this term in stories, we have been talking about heroes and the cycles they have to go through to get to their destination. Heroes have to have certain character traits about them, that makes a huge part of them. On this action project, we had to compare two heroes, one real hero and a hero that has been made up (a movie hero). We worked on this project for this entire week and that really helped me because I knew that I wasn't going to have time to work on it after school, due to dance. The rubric that Sharon gave us really helped because I was lost on certain things and I didn't want to fail this AP. I titled my project "The Journey To Freedom". My two characters deal with freedom and how they also helped others receive freedom as well. In my AP, you will see who my characters are, and the different stages that heroes had to go through just to reach their goals.
For this AP, I chose Harriet Tubman and Caesar the ape. These two characters both deal with freedom and a fight that they both had to go through to reach their goal. Harriet Tubman has been through a lot of pain and she is known to be an American abolitionist. Caesar the ape made it where he was to free all of the apes and go to war because he felt that the humans should not take advantage of them and use them as slaves. They are connected to each other because both have had a rough past and wanted to have a new future. They fought for themselves and for others, and they both wanted better lives.

Opposites Attract!!

In my STEAM class, Urban Planning, we finished our second unit, Power, and we learned a lot about circuits and eco friendly home appliances. For this unit, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry to watch the Tesla coil be set off. That was a really cool experience because I wasn't expecting for the coil to be that loud. We have been studying circuits and how to make them. We learned about the different symbols that are used for circuits when you draw them out. For this AP, we were paired up with another person in our class and that made the process of this project better because there was a lot of work that had to be done for this AP. The format for this AP, was slideshow format. In our slideshow, you will see the circuit that we created, the eco friendly home appliances that each resistor is representing, calculations, and more. We had to talk about how this AP connected with SDG 7 and why we chose it. You will learn about the circuit that we designed and the home applianc

Freedom Of Speech... But Don't Take It Too Far!!

In my Humanities Class, Policy, we finished our last term of this class. I am so happy that I was able to take this class because I now know what I want to be in life because of this class. This class helped me realized that I willIn class, we have been learning a lot about the Supreme Court and the types of power that this court has. For this AP, we had to chose a certain case and talk about how that certain case was involved with this case. I learned so much from this case because the one that I chose actually deals with my life as a teenager in school. I chose slideshow format for this AP because they help me gather more information and I actually understand the work that I am doing. We visited the Veteran's Arts Museum and it was so interesting being able to see actual clothing and letters from important wars gives you a different look on it. Down below is my slideshow, hope you enjoy! In conclusion, I really enjoyed making this AP. Being able to learn about my rights

Activist Paper

In my elective course called Global Peace, we have been focusing on the Gandhi principles and how people use these principles throughout their lives. For the AP, we had to type a 4-6 page paper about an activist that we chose, according to a list of activist that the teacher gave us. I chose Deray Mckesson to be the activist that I wrote my paper on. The process of this paper was very interesting and intense. I felt like I was going to struggle a lot with this paper because I was nervous. Sharon helped me by giving me corrections and helping me with the guide of the paper. Once I recieved all of the corrections from Sharon and applied them to my paper, that helped me a lot and I was able to continue to work on my paper. The rubric that Sharon gave the class was extremely helpful and that helped me with knowing exactly what to put on my paper because I was confused on what to talk about with the paper especially since it is a 4-6 page paper. Overall, the paper turned out fine and I fin
