Zambia. The Dry land

Pg 1 : Intoduction

We went kayaking and then we carried water to and from the river.

We also went to the “Wild mile” to seed bomb the river, we took a slingshot we used mushroom compost, and clay with plant seeds

We also went on a walking tour of the river walk, and we saw a duck, some fish and some aquatic plants

I didn’t get to go but if I would’ve gotten to I would’ve carried 2.5 gallons, that would taken me 1 week to get enough water, for 1 whole day,

The average daily water use in Zambia is 7.5 gallons.

How deep do your values go?

Welcome to my first AP of the term in Forbidden Books . This class, as the name states, is about censored/banned books and literature. We will dig deeper into understanding the reasons why books and texts were banned. We have had the opportunity to start the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which was banned in the United States, South Africa, and multiple school districts around the US. For the first portion of this unit, we learned about a Socratic seminar and the "Socratic method." The Socratic method is a form of teaching and learning that involves asking questions instead of providing answers. It is a method of discussion, often used in philosophy and critical thinking. The goal of the Socratic method is to encourage critical thinking and understanding by asking questions that challenge assumptions and lead to deeper understanding. For this Action Project, we had to have two people: Person one (Joe Walters) plays as Socrates, the questioner, and the second pers...

Am I really a Global Peace Maker?

Hello all! It's been quite some time since I last made a blog post. First I wish you all a wonderful Merry Christmas, and an amazing new year! This term, I was in a class called Global peace, this term we focused on methods that would and should bring attention to issues in our community, in nonviolent ways. Global peace also focused on the Gandhian principles of truth, nonviolence, Sarvadoya, and Satyagraha. In Global Peace, we went on some inspiring FEs like the neighborhood walk. On this FE we got to walk through two different neighborhoods and observe the differences between them. For this AP I had to make a plan to combat an issue, I chose gun violence, and the purpose of this is to promote a sense that we are all welcome, and we can all live in a community without violence. The purpose is also to show that we are on a united front to stand against gun violence. I hope you enjoy my slide show, and I hope it will help you understand why gun violence is a prevalent issue in all...

Redefining Queenship: Gender, Power, and Ambition in Shakespeare's Macbeth

Welcome to my blog, In our first Drama unit, we tackled the question, "How do we respond to gender norms and stereotypes?" To explore this, we dove into the works of William Shakespeare, examining how theater can inspire social change. We focused on Macbeth , using the play as a lens to question traditional gender roles and the evolving concept of what it means to be a queen. This was the perfect foundation for the unit, letting us dig deeper into our own ideas of strength and duty. To me, a queen is someone who puts her role before herself, making difficult choices—even ones that might be considered morally complex. While we didn’t have many field trips, we had inspiring guest speakers. Regina Taylor, known for her role as Michelle Obama's mother in The First Lady and her work in Lovecraft Country , shared her insights on how storytelling can bridge divides of race, gender, and class. She likened the influence of media to the civil rights movem...
