What if I did Not Have Access to Food?

The final weeks of the first term were very brief. What seemed like so much to do in little time. This unit of Sustainable Development Goals was focusing on sustainable development. Sustainable development is very important when it comes to building cities, providing for people, and supporting energy for everyone. The definition I made for sustainable development is, the growth of communities and societies where our natural resources are not destroyed. One assignment during this unit was to interview three people about sustainable development and why they thought it was possible or why not. From the interviews I conducted I found that sustainable development is possible but not soon. For this to happen people need to work together and look out for each other. Everyone must be on the same page because only a few people trying to create this cannot succeed without the support of the entire community. After this work we began to combine what we learned and create our final project. This action project was slightly different from the ones we have done before. Since we only had limited time an essay would not really be logical because it would take more time. Instead, we were asked to create an art piece of our choice focusing on one SDG. The SDG I decided on was Zero Hunger and I chose to create a very small graphic novel.

This graphic novel focuses on how people around the world are trying to create a world where no person is hungry. Everyone has their nutritional needs met and they can feel at least somewhat satisfied and know that they will have a meal the next day and from then on. I also talk about the conflict in Yemen that is being addressed by the World Food Program based in London. They are helping displaced people have food and are provided aid. They have worked with other countries that are hosting these displaced people so that the hosts do not have to work extra or earn more food to help the refugees. The graphic novel I have made is below.



GS, My Graphic Novel, 18 Nov. 2019
I enjoyed working on the Sustainable Development Goals and I think that my work displays that. I really liked this project because I had the chance to do something different and unique. I think my short graphic novel turned out fine but I could have made adjustments. I hope that this will encourage people to help others that need food or assistance. As said on the last page, the World Food Program accepts donations and would really appreciate your support. If you have made it this far thank you for reading and always remember that you can help make change.

Breaking Free from Chemical Rockets

Welcome back to my blog! This post is for the second Action Project of the STEAM class, Frontiers. This class has been about the frontiers of science and discovery in space and the oceans. We studied marine ecology, biology, geology, and physiology in the first unit. We also looked at technological frontiers in the maritime sector, such as ways to clean up ocean pollution, capture carbon dioxide, and rebuild coral reefs. In this unit, we have looked at the stars, planets, and galaxies around us. We have learned about how the universe came to exist and how humans began to study it. For this Action Project, we have been tasked with writing a research paper about a frontier of our choosing in the field of space exploration. For my paper, I decided to look into propulsion systems or the types of rockets that can bring humans or crewless spacecraft from the Earth's surface into orbit. Propulsion systems have been researched and built for many years, so in a general sense, they aren'

Food, a Human Right?

In our Humanities or SDGs class, Sustainable Development Goals, we were talking about the certain goals that could be thought of as a need to be a human right. The options were no poverty, no hunger, and quality education. The goal that I chose was number two, no hunger. I believe that food should be a human right because it is primarily a basic need. We need food to survive and if we do not have it we will obviously die, since that is the only alternative. Before then we went on a field experience to Lincoln Park Community Services in Chicago. There we experienced people who are hungry and we also as a class, cooked for the people that attended the lunch. I personally enjoyed this because I was able to talk with people that needed food and they were really appreciative of the food that they had been given. This led to the action project which is an essay about our chosen goal. The essay is below. To, Hiu, LPCS 2019, One of the food items cooked was chicken. Could you imagine

Opposing Opinions

Welcome to my blog. This is the first Action Project for the winter term class Forbidden Books. In this unit we read the book, Fahrenheit 451  by Ray Bradbury. This book was banned because of its description of burning literature, mentioning abortions, suicide, murder, and drugs. In many schools this book has been prohibited from the curriculum due to its story. After reading this book myself I can understand why some schools or people would not want children to read it. We have also observed other censored books such as Green Eggs and Ham  by Dr. Seuss. In these short assignments we tried finding why people would censor these children's books. In this unit we talked about Socrates and his suicide as a result of being charged for corrupting the youth in the teachings he believed and followed. For this Action Project we had to create a Socratic Dialogue about any topic. During Socrates' trial he questioned his accuser, Meletus. Socrates tried getting Meletus to come to a realiza
