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.

Input Manipulation Using Python

Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the projects in the Computer Science class. In Computer Science we have been learning about different types of coding and how computers work. We have done math problems in binary code and practiced making something from using python. In these two projects we used python to code a advanced calculator that you can use to find what the temperature in Celsius is based off of your input of your temperature outside in Fahrenheit. The second project here is a code that uses your inputs to create a letter to a state representative to talk about something important to you. Both of these codes have been checked multiple times to see if there were any errors or changes that needed to be made. If you would like to try them out for yourself you can do so by typing in your responses on the right to the questions that are asked. The first project is an advanced calculator that takes an input of a given temperature in Fahrenheit and converts it into Celsius fo...

I Am a Peacebuilder

This post is for the Civic Term class Global Peace. In the three weeks of this class we covered sarvodaya, satyagraha, and Sharpe's 198 Nonviolent Methods of Nonviolence. Sarvodaya and satyagraha were concepts by Gandhi. Sarvodaya explains that all are rising and is supposed to be an answer to all "isms" such as capitalism or communism. The large list of nonviolent methods consists of speeches, marches, strikes, physical interventions, peaceful noncooperation, boycotts, and more. For this project I chose to focus on homelessness in Chicago. In the large city you can find tent cities or people camped on the street in many places. With the weather in Chicago living outside with only a small shelter or none at all can be difficult for surviving. The city is also dotted with empty lots or abandoned land. I believe these plots of land can be redesigned into housing for the homeless. Each person or group of persons depending on their situation would have a small residence where...

The USS Hermit, A Ship to the Future

Hello, this is my Action Project for the class Redesign the Future. In this class we have covered climate change, Bill Gates' 5 Grand Challenges to tackling climate change, circular economy, systems thinking, and some of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this unit we went to The Plant Chicago where we learned about aquaponics, The Hive which talked about bees and their struggle against climate change, Friends of the Chicago River that taught us about our river and its history, Rheaply which showed us their company and an insider view of circular economy, and the Lincoln Park Zoo which told us about select ecosystems and habitats for their animals of all kinds. This unit went very in depth on the concept of systems thinking. We talked about certain actions that were made to solve problems such as the malaria in Borneo but the unintended consequences that followed and how to solve them. This AP is about a design that follows one of the 5 grand challenges and also how can you solv...
