Help Out Your Community!

This is my last AP in my humanities class called A Nation's Argument. In this class we have been learning about thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. For this AP, we decided to hold a police assembly in our class with four guest. Some of our guest had deaths in their families and the reason why they do what they do with their community is because of the death that happened. My role for this assembly was to be the MC. In the beginning, I had everyone introduce themselves and then we went into an icebreaker to get to know our guest better. There were 4 prompts that were used for this activity because we wanted to make sure that we still had time to actually talk about things that we have been discussing in class and still had questions on. the 4 prompts were:
  1. How do you view Chicago for the development of the youth?
  2. What inspired you to attend this forum?
  3. What do you hope the next mayor does for Chicago?
  4. How are you going to use your talents to benefit the people around you?
I gave everyone three minutes to answer these questions so that they could understand other people. After the ice breaker, we got straight into the first topic of our conversation which was "Policing In Schools". The conversation started to go into deeper meanings and that brought emotion to the class because there were people that were able to relate to what we were talking about for this assembly.

For my format, I decided to make a slideshow and talk about why some organizations need to be accessible to everyone and not just people with money. I chose this as my topic because organizations were brought up during the conversation because some of our guest where the president of an organization that is in the world for people so that they can have help and make connections. I talked about how I am in organizations that have to be paid for because my mother wants the best for me. The organizations that I am apart of give children resources and connections to have in life because you never know what is coming for you in the future. I feel that I can help out people by giving them helpful information that I am able to receive. Down below, you will see the slideshow that I created for this AP. Hope you enjoy! 

In conclusion, this was a great term and I enjoyed learning about the past and why the government is made the way it is. This class has helped me because I learned a lot of new things that I either didn't know or had the wrong information about a topic. I hope that you were able to learn something from all of my posts from this term and I can't wait to see what comes next. Thank you!

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
