A Raisin in the Sun Commentary

For the third unit in my Humanities course Drama, we read and analyzed A Raisin in the Sun. Along with reading the play, we further analyzed the social issues it presented such as gender roles, gentrification, and matriarchy. For our Action Project, we wrote a prologue, picked a scene form the play, and commented on our chosen piece as a member of the play's "Chorus". While doing this we also learned of the Chorus' role in the theater. On thing I struggled with was writing the prologue and one thing I really enjoyed doing was recording the commentary.

Patient Profiling

In the final unit of my STEAM class Cure at GCE, we investigated prevention. We learned all about how vaccines worked and how, people try to prevent both chronic and acute diseases and sicknesses. For our Action Project, we were asked to interview a member of a family, make a family tree for them, and develop a patient profile to help them prevent a disease they have a familial risk of developing. What I enjoyed most about this project was creating a family tree and looking at how it came together.

Proyecto de Español

For my third period Spanish course at GCE, we learned lot's of basic phrases and how to conjugate common verbs. The way we went about learning these concepts was very fun and comprehensive. We  played lots of games and had experience with the culture of Spain through trying different foods. For our Action Project, we were asked to pick a topic from a provided list, write 20 sentences on the topic, and make a creative piece based off the topic. The most fun part of this project for me was making my photo because I love using photoshop. I struggled a bit with the sentences because towards the end I had trouble coming up with ideas.

History in the Park

For the second unit of Drama at GCE, we continued our journey into plays by reading A Doll's House. Reading this book in this unit was a bit different from the last because of the style of writing and the time period it was written in. It was also much easier to understand exactly what was going on. For this Action Project, we were asked to write and preform a play. The most difficult part of this was actually writing the play since I had never done it before.

Insomnia Pill Box

For the second unit of my STEAM class Cure at GCE, we learned what all the information on a medication box really means. Along with learning about drug information, we researched medications that have had large impacts in the past. One prime example of this is Penicillin and it's impact WWI. For our Action Project, we were allowed to chose any disease/inpalement that we wanted and model a medication box using 3 different treatment. We made the box using categories and classifications we learned throughout the unit such as side effects and dosage. Also, for the math portion of the unit, we explored quadratics and applying the quadratic equation to find the roots of a problem. The hardest part of this project was modeling the cover of my box by I am also very proud of how closely it resembles a real Ambien container.
