Diseñando Una Casa

 Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the second Action Project in my Spanish class. So far in this winter term, we have been going over lots of vocabulary for houses such as furniture, rooms, and other pieces of a house. We have also looked at direct and indirect object pronouns as well as the present progressive tense for writing sentences. We have continued to study "ar", "er", and "ir" verbs. For this Action Project, we are creating a floor plan for a house. This house has to have 5 rooms: a bedroom, bathroom, dining room, kitchen, and living room. I also added an office area in my house. For each of these rooms, we could add furniture that would be labeled in Spanish. The whole project requires at least 15 vocabulary words for the furniture. With all of this, we have been asked to write sentences using the "ar", "er", and "ir" verbs about what we do in each room and make use of the present progressive tense and direct and indirect object pronouns. I hope you enjoy looking at my house design and reading the sentences in Spanish.

I hope you enjoyed reading my work in Spanish and looking at the floorplan I designed. I am interested in architecture as a career option so making a floorplan was pretty fun. After making my rough draft I chose to change where some of the furniture went in the rooms. Overall, I had fun with this Action Project and I think I did well with my Spanish. Originally I wanted to design the floorplan after my own house, but I chose otherwise because I did not want to put extra work on myself especially if it wasn't needed. Again, I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I hope to see you in the next one.

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
