In my humanities class, Policy, we finished our second unit, Executive. We have been learning more about the Supreme Court and the different wars that took place that dealt with America. An FE that we went to during this unit was a murder trial at the Criminal Court House. This FE was very eye opening to me because I want to become a lawyer, mostly a prosecutor. It was amazing watching the prosecutor ask questions that all dealt with each other but she asked them in ways that she knew that the witness would know the answer too because the defendant would try to object but the judge would let the witness answer the questions only if she had any knowledge about it, which she did. It was so inspirational but it made me think about how the prosector worded her questions because it made it easier for me to understand what was going on and she asked them in a way where the witness had to explain everything that was going on when he crime went down. For this AP, everyone had to choose a w...

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...

In my Humanities class called "Policy", we have been talking a lot about the US Constitution and all of the important people or groups that help with the government. For this AP we had to write a letter to someone that represents us in some type of way and we had to give them our opinion on if we agree if a certain bill should or shouldn't be passed so that she can or can't become laws. I chose a senator of my state. Her name is Toi Hutchinson. I chose her because she is actually a friend of my moms and I thought that it would be cool if she read how I felt about something and if it should have an impact or not. Toi Hutchinson is a senator for the state of Illinois. She is a Democrat and represents the 40th district and assumed office January 5, 2009. Hutchinson was appointed to take over Senator Debbie Halvorson's seat. She serves in the Agriculture and Conservation committee, Labor committee, Local Government committee, State Government and Veteran Affairs (V.C...
