Walter's mistake

In the course called Drama, we read the book called raisin in the sun.In this class we learned about gentrification that was going on.We learned about the gender roles in house holds. We also learned about the issues with race.In class we watched the movie and play of raisin in the sun to better understand the emotions of the characters. For this action project since raisin in the sun doesn't have a chorus, we were supposed to pick scene in the book a raisin in the sun were two characters have a conflict and make commentary on the scene.The hardest thing for me was trying to write the chorus,but I was helped by my teacher so it was a lot easier afterward.

The doctors appointment


In the third Unit of STEAM course of CURE,we learned about care to prevent for “me now” vs the “future me”. We learned about Angelina Jolie surgery to prevent breast and ovarian cancer.For this Action Project, we had to create a patient profile for a person we interviewed about their family and medical history too.We explored it to the point of making a very detailed treatment plan.I am very happy with my work.The most trouble I had was doing the interview,because it was hard trying not ask questions that would offended the person I was interviewing especially about family members that are deceased,it was easy to find a person to interview. I am proud of myself for finishing the project to the best of my ability.

THE MEETING OF THE PAST

In the course called Drama we read the book called a Doll's House by Ibsen Henrik,We talked about whether, we should refer to the books as doll's house or dolls house and the difference between the two. We talked about the gender roles that may made a problem with Nora's life. This unit we had to make a script with 3 characters that have change Nora's thoughts who is the main character in the book Doll's house using a important women in history, and one the play the sign in Sidney Brusteins window. I chose Hypatia as my women for history because she was a mathmatican in egpyt in the 300's and my character  from the play is the Gloria even though she doesnt appear as much the other charcters she is the most talked about throughout the play.

My Everyday Life

"Sometimes, I look in the mirror and see dots all over" - AL


In Unit two of Cure we focused on Penicillin and how it works and was used in world war one and two. We figured out how to balance chemical compound.We talked about the affects of different medicines on our bodies.In addition we solved quadratic equations,we found the vertex and discriminate.I have struggled with eczema since I was in the fourth grade so I chose to find treatments for eczema. For this unit's action project we had to pick 4 treatments and make it look like a medication box. below you will see the images of the end result. I am most proud of the sign since it was my favorite part of the project. the hardest thing to do was the graph since i had to find the information.
