Don't Doubt your Dreams

In this unit in Who Am I? We are talking about Doubt and Dream. We were discussing about Freudian theories and Doubts we might have about our beliefs and doubts we might have about our life. I believe that this unit we were able to figure our self out. We also went over Erik Erickson who was a psychoanalysis who created the stages of life. It was interesting because each stage has a meaning behind it. For our AP we were assigned to create a dream catcher to signify things that symbolize us. SR.DreamCatcher.2017 Overall, I believe this unit was very useful and helpful unit. It was very interesting learning about the many stages of life by Erik Erkison and the Freudian theory with psychosocial and psychosexual. Even though the class is called Who Am I? I stilled haven't figured out who I am exactly. I believe doubt and dream can take many turns and can tell a lot about ourselves and what we think is true. I believe this was a great way to end this unit.

Bye Bye Carbon Dioxide

 In this unit we were learning about ways we are able to decrease the use of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a toxic gas that pollutes the air and harms not only us but the planet. We were influenced by the author of Raising Elijah , Sandra Steingraber's three ideas. We decided to make our own ideas to help the environment become a much cleaner and safer place for you and me. An FE that we had which relates to our AP was having a guests come Krista Margroth from Nicro-gas to explain to us more about carbon dioxide and really get a fun hands-on experience.  Overall, this was an amazing unit. I believe that it is important to figure out a way to help the Earth and try to keep it alive. We should protect the planet and make a change because if we keep living this way we are going to make the atmosphere a toxic and unsafe environment. We should stop using fossil fuels which cause carbon dioxide which pollutes the air. Making a change to help not just yourself but

In my class Fuel we are discussing how we use energy and resources we are able to use that are best for the environment. In class we went to a few FE's such as ComEd. We went to ComEd so we could see how they use electricity and how it can travels to our homes. We also had a project where we pretended to be advertising a natural resource. I chose to do wind energy. It was a very fun experience learning about our resource that we chose to do. We had to include the savings/benefits, why we think that resource is best, job opportunities, etc.   Overall, this was a great experience and I had a great time doing it. In class I believe we worked well together while doing group work. I enjoyed the AP but was also challenged which is great. We learned a lot about energy, electricity, resources, etc in this term. If we switch to wind energy we are able to help the environment because global warming is a very serious matter.
