Your Sentence Is Death By Lethal Injection

In the Junior Humanities class called Policy ,we learned in our last unit about specific cases, how they ended they ended and how it relates to policy. In Policy we learned mostly about the Brown v. Board case, and about desegregation of the school during that time. For an FE my class went to see a case at the Criminal Justice Courthouse. After we got the chance to talk to the Judge, about a few of the cases he had been able to see and read about. For this Action Project we were supposed to choose a case and decide whether the final ruling was justified or not. I chose to take the McGehee v. Hutchinson case and I chose to take the route that the ruling was justified.
 
                      

No design Is A Bad Design

In the Junior STEAM class called Urban Planning, we learned about urban planning and it's history. I learned that urban planning is the process of an area developing. For the last unit of the class we  went on a Field Experience to look at the urban planning around Wrigley Field. This FE was a good example of good and bad urban planning it helped me to see what I wanted to keep away from doing during my action project. For our action project, we had to choose a place anywhere in the world and redesign it they we want to while also benefiting others. I chose to redesign my old elementary school, Northeast Elementary in Stamford CT. I wanted to make some changes to the playground area since the equipment only takes up a small portion of the space I chose.
