Discovery Street
In the project Discovery street we wrote a cultural autobiography about our lives and a special part of our lives. We also wrote Where I'm From poems. I thought this project was interesting and I really liked writing. I especially liked writing the Where I'm from Poem.
Divided We stand
In the project Divided We Stand we learned about politics and the differences between conservative and liberal. We also learned about politicians. We had three choices for what to do for our exhibition which were to do a rap battle and pretend to be Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump, write a spoken word poem about two perspectives, or to do a debate on a topic.
Free Your Mind
In the Humanities part of the project, we learned about implicit bias which are negative feelings or ideas people have toward a group of people that they don't realize. In class we learned about how these biases negatively affect people and chose one bias to research. My group chose ageism. We had to learn about our topic and create a product that represents that topic. I chose to make a painting. In the painting there is a old woman and a young women. The old woman has younger mindset and the younger woman has an older mindset. This breaks the stereotypes that old people hate technology and that young people can't be old fashioned. In the brain there are activities that people do such as communication. The old woman's brain has a text message icon and the young person's mind has a letter. The many colors in the background represent different people and perspectives that all come together to create our world.
Corazon y Alma
In the Corazon y Alma project I learned about Latin America and Us relations, studied a Latin American country and were split into group to make a product for exhibition. I was in the theater group. We wrote vignettes based on real experiences and acted them out in front of exhibition. I helped write scripts and was also an actor. I was given two roles in two vignettes. This exhibition was very memorable because I learned a lot about group working and pushed myself to be more of a leader.
