Viajar a Puerto Rico (Travel to Puerto Rico)

Welcome back to my blog, This post is for the Action Project in our Spanish class. In Spanish, we have been covering verbs, adjectives, comparisons, superlatives, and more. Throughout the course, we have been using our textbook to learn these topics and apply them in different real-life situations. For this Action Project, we are creating a travel pamphlet to a Spanish-speaking country of our choice. I chose Puerto Rico because I have traveled there in the past and had a great time. This travel pamphlet has an English and Spanish version which includes, where to stay, local food, tourist destinations, and activities. I hope you enjoy reading and are maybe convinced to travel to Puerto Rico.

I hope you enjoyed reading over the travel pamphlet. I think Puerto Rico was a good choice for me because I have traveled there before. Del Morro castle was one of the first places my family and I visited many years ago. We also went on a bioluminescent bay and Camuy Cave excursions which were a lot of fun. I highly recommend you to partake in these experiences if they are suitable for you because they are very fun and amazing. I was able to swim in the bio bay and walking through the caves was very beautiful with all of the natural stone formations and plant life. Thank you for reading and I hope to see you in the next blog post.

Snapshots of Memories

For Final Presentations this term I am presenting the GCE Minecraft server. The GCE Minecraft server is a multiplayer world on Minecraft where me and a fellow freshman have built GCE. Since we were not able to conclude our school year at GCE and it being the last year at the current location, we decided to make a replica in Minecraft. During the terms pre-apocalypse a few GCE students took interest in creating multiplayer Minecraft worlds like surviving as a group to beat the game and even building a massive city. As we moved through the weeks after GCE closed its doors the students continued to play and collaborate with each other. One of these students came up with the idea of building GCE. I agreed to do it because I have a passion for Minecraft and have become an architect on it just like the creators that I take inspiration from. When there is something you enjoy, do more of it. So, in the mindset of the Final Presentations for this term and having a little bit of fun we sta...

Spilling Into Something Else

Welcome back to my blog! This post is for the first Action Project of the Humanities class, Equality. In this first unit, we have learned about equality and how to reach an egalitarian society. We also dove into intersectionality, sociology, and social stratification. We started reading There There by Tommy Orange, a novel following the stories of Native American characters in Oakland grappling with a complex and painful history and identity. With the idea of creating zines for our Action Project, we had multiple Field Experiences that gave us a chance to observe and study all kinds of zines. These FEs include looking at the zine collection in the Joseph Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago, Co-Prosperity artist space and gallery to investigate underground and independent media, and Howling Pages Comics, where the owner promotes zines created by young people and small press or independent comics. This Action Project asks us to choose a historical event that exemplifies...

My 24 Hour Woodworking Challenge

Welcome back to my blog! This post is for the first Action Project of the Humanities class, Endurance. In this class, we have been learning what it means to endure. We looked through history to see moments where humans endured, such as Ernest Shackleton's survival in the Antarctic and the Holocaust, while we read the book Night by Elie Wiesel. We also introduced small challenges we would have to endure, like holding an ice cube in our hand for as long as possible. For this Action Project, we have been tasked with committing 24 hours to a challenge with a clear mission and guiding question. My mission for this AP was to build and improve my woodworking skills and create something that is important to me. My guiding question was, what is the best bridge I can build? For 24 hours, I worked toward creating a wooden bridge by myself with only a small amount of woodworking experience behind me. While working, I recorded my progress by taking photos and filming time-lapses. The video belo...
