For this elective term, I am taking a STEAM class called Game Changers. In this class, we have been learning the different mechanisms, strategies, logistics, and engineering of different games. We have gone on Field Experiences where we have met game designers and understood how much effort and thought that goes into a game. Over this term, we have played many games and analyzed each aspect of it. For this Action Project, we were able to create our own game. By creating our own game, we had to make sure we identified the theme, strategies, player interaction, scoring mechanism, the design, the player elimination, having to have clear and understandable wording for the players, etc. At the beginning of this term, I had never played many games and when I did, I didn’t think about all of the different components they contained. Now that I am creating my own game with my group, I can see each tiny detail a game is made out of. Pitch For Partners In Time: Partners In Time is a game wher...

Hello! In this class called Global Peace. We have been talking about activism, and ways we are able to better our community! So for this Action Project, we were given the opportunity to make that happen by selecting an issue we have noticed around our city, and figure out a way we are able to fix it. I chose to tackle the conflict of gentrification. SR.FightGentrification.2019 Citations: Florida, Richard. This Is What Happens After a Neighborhood Gets Gentrified. TheAtlantic. September 16, 2015.

For this elective term, I chose to take the class called Global Peace. In this class, we are able to talk about ways we are able to use ourselves to make a change for things that we are passionate about. In class, we have talked about activism and the roles it takes to be an activist. We have been talking about different methods known as the Gandhian principles we can use with activism such as Sarvodaya, Swaraj, and Satyagraha. Sharp's Methods are basically more than 190 ways to protest with non-violence actions. Sharp's Method is a very resourceful way to take action without causing harm. Many people use these methods without even realizing it. For this action project, we had to choose an activist to learn about. We had to study their techniques and methods they use/used as an activist. The activist I chose to study is Tarana Burke who started the #MeToo movement. Doug, Criss.

Over this unit of Population, we have been learning about the interactions and relationships organisms grow over time to survive or if they don't benefit depending on different interactions with different organisms. There's a lot of different kind of interactions that organisms develop such as, amensalism, commensalism, predator, mutualism, neutralism, competition, and parasitism but for this action project, we are looking at how humans affect a certain type of organism. For this action project, I chose the Titi Monkey and how human might affect their species as a whole. I will be looking at the interactions humans and the Titi Monkeys have with one another, and the population of the organisms over these past years. SR.TitiMonkeys.2018 I will be telling you facts about the organisms and showing you how humans affect the Titi Monkeys and if they changed over time because of the human interactions with them or if they don't even have an effect in them. When finding the p...

In this term of Stories, we have been learning about the stages of a hero's journey. We dove into what a hero's journey means and their effects they have onto a story. The hero's journey is also called a "monomyth." There are seventeen stages of a hero's journey that each character or each person goes through, throughout their adventure. Each stage is an important key to the adventure to continue onto the story and to add to it. The stages can be represented as a step farther into the journey, and as it continues, you can see the "hero" growing into someone different or into someone who has more experience in a certain topic. For this action project, I had to choose a fictional "hero" and a real-life "hero." For the real-life "hero", we had to conduct an interview and ask them about their hero's journey from whatever experience they have had. For my fictional character, I chose Carl Fredrickson from the movie Up. T...

Day 1- In the class of Writer's Toolbox, we have been talking about different types of poetry and the styles you can use to express yourself or send across a message. We have been diving into different poets and the techniques and strategies they use when writing. In Writer's Toolbox, we are usually able to freely write and find ways we can improve our writing, so we are able to become better writers. For this action project, we are choosing a piece of our work and we will be revising it day by day. As go on with this process we will be going back to what we have learned like grammar skills and writers/poets that we can be inspired by. SR.OriginalPic.2018 1) When I started writing this piece I was in class. I believe there was a French song on, and the prompt we had was to pick one thing that we can have in the world. As I was writing I was just trying to brainstorm things that I wish existed and I knew couldn't ever exist. 2) When I look back at my work I notice...
