A home well lived..

HOLA!

Welcome to my blog!


My name is LJ but you know that of course, this AP was the first AP of the 2022-2023 school year, we've been making awesome progress, especially in Spanish 1. This time we've been working on congregation and using the correct verbs. We were tasked with creating a house using er-ir verbs but making sure to label them in Spanish. 

I learned that speaking/learning Spanish isn't as hard as it seems. Let alone getting things done in Spanish I've started to incorporate different aspects of Spanish into my daily life. 

Below is my version of the AP I made a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a spacious living room, and garage.

This was my house I made a virtual version and I also created a handmade version of it too. 
I hope you can see from the details of the doors, to the designing of the rooms.

What you should do in the bathroom and living room- debes limpiar el baño y la sala
What you should do in the kitchen: Saco mis libros y como en el comedor.
This is my virtual mock-up of what I would picture the house to look like. 
I too got a learning experience of this, from exploring the realms of architecture to the culture and language of people of Latin and Spanish backgrounds. 
I hope you enjoyed thank you for stopping by.

Plagues - How deadly are they?

Welcome to My Blog on Disease! In this unit of my STEAM course,  Disease , we dove into the classification and impact of diseases—learning about endemics, sporadic cases, epidemics, pandemics, and more. We explored methods to combat these threats, starting with a Model UN simulation on handling a zombie apocalypse, where I represented the UK. Though my country survived, we ended up in massive debt, a clear reminder of the challenges leaders face even with ample resources. For our Action Project, we each selected a disease and researched a specific historical outbreak. The task was to create a newspaper article explaining the disease's spread, impact, and prevention measures. I chose to focus on the Bubonic Plague and crafted a news story to communicate what caused its devastating outbreak, how it was controlled, and how similar outbreaks can be prevented today. Through this project, I discovered fascinating details about the Black Plague’s deadly rampage across Europe in the 1300s....

Steakkkkkkk

In this Spanish unit, we focused on expanding our vocabulary related to food, cooking, and dining. Our goal was to learn and apply food-related terms and phrases, specifically using them in the context of a video demonstration. For the project, I chose a specific dish to showcase, narrating the preparation process to demonstrate my Spanish-speaking skills, the use of the preterit tense, and tú commands. The vocabulary covered an extensive range of food items, cooking utensils, condiments, and kitchen essentials needed to prepare meals. We were also tasked with designing a menu, where we included images of various foods or dishes, each with prices we thought were suitable for a mock restaurant. The process was challenging yet rewarding, particularly in selecting the dish to prepare and recording the audio narration in Spanish while cooking—a task that tested my pronunciation and fluency in a real-time setting. This project not only strengthened my vocabulary but also allowed me to apply...

Stories: Mythological or real?

Welcome to my blog,  The name of this course is Stories and our main focus is looking into how people tell stories differently. For this Action Project, we had to create our own mythological creature that helped us represent an SDG we chose. I chose SDG 5 which is all about Gender Equality. We took a short Field Experience to the Poetry Foundation. We looked at Monica Ong's exhibit called "Planatria" It gave me inspiration for my project. I made a hybrid named Ligon.  We had to create a character profile for our hybrid creature. I really enjoyed doing this because it helped me tap into my creativity, I was able to use my knowledge of mythological creatures and greek mythology to try and fix a problem and create a Utopia. My character profile: The Ligon: What does a Ligon look like? Where does the Ligon originate from?  The Ligon hails from areas of Southeast Asia, areas extending from Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. I chose these countries because dragons have appeared throu...
