Kind Katherine

In Drama, we have been focusing on a play called The Taming Of Shrew that was written by Shakespeare. This play takes place in a patriarchal world, this means that men control everything that women do in this type of society. In this play, there are two women that are sisters, Katerine and Bianca. All of the men in the story want to marry Bianca because they think that her older sister, Katherine, is a shrew. A shrew is a bad-tempered or aggressive woman. The men in this story don't like Katherine because they do not like the fact that she speaks her mind and she does not want to listen to any of the men. Katherine's father, Baptista, tels the men that none of them can marry Bianca until Katherine gets married first. Sooner or later, a man named Petruchio was told by two men that Katherine was an angel and that she is a beautiful woman. Petruchio goes for the set up that these two men tell him and he wants to marry Katherine. Later on, in the play, Petruchio and Katherine get married and Katherine becomes a good wife that listens and obeys Petruchio. For our sonnet, we had to use four of our vocabulary words that we got from the play and we had to use one line from the play. The way I did my sonnet was in ABAB format and my words rhyme. I had to make sure that I was addressing someone in my poem because I am taking the role of Katherine in my sonnet. Down below you will see a video of me reading my poem and you will see the text version of my sonnet.


Poem
Feeling like no one is there, all alone.
My sister is the one everyone loves.
Wanting my own say, father knows I’m grown.
Only if father felt I was a dove.


“To make a stale of me amongst these mates?”

You even did this on our wedding day.
Making me feel like I was just fresh bait
Making me feel like I was on display

Being called a wench, wow that really hurts
You never cared, you thought you were funny 
Kicking me around like I am some dirt
Petruchio, was it just for money?

Sis plays the lute, and I eat the junkets
Feeling amiss, acting like your puppet

In conclusion, this AP was fun and I enjoyed working on my project. Writing the poem was pretty easy to me because I enjoy writing poetry, but the hardest part was making sure each stanza was 10 syllables. I was able to put a lot of work into my project and I feel like I deserve an A because of the time and work that I put into my AP. I made sure Sharon went over my poem for help because I wanted to make sure that I had everything in the poem and I wanted to make sure I followed the rubric correctly. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my poem and watch my video and I hope you enjoyed my project.

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
