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.

Heroe's Journey: From Kamala Harris to T'Challa

In the final unit of my Humanities class, "Stories," we delved into the Hero's Journey, exploring how both real and fictional heroes undergo transformative journeys that shape them and leave lasting impacts. Our focus was on understanding how different art forms narrate these journeys and the unique ways in which we each walk our own Hero’s Journey. We watched  The Goonies , visited the American Writers Museum, and explored the colorful "Ofrendas" at the National Museum of Mexican Art, each of these experiences giving us fresh perspectives on storytelling. The exhibit "Our Stories, Our Voices" at the Field Museum stood out to me personally, providing a powerful look at personal histories and identities. For my Action Project, I chose to map out the journeys of two heroes who have profoundly inspired me: Vice President Kamala Harris and T’Challa, the Black Panther. Below, you’ll see a collage showcasing the paths of these two icons who represent courage

Walters impulsions

In this drama unit, we focused on defining the concept of a "matriarch" and explored its role in perpetuating inequality. We read  A Raisin in the Sun  by Lorraine Hansberry, which tells the story of a Black family struggling to improve their lives in 1950s Chicago after receiving a $10,000 insurance check. Alongside our reading, we visited the Goodman Theater, where Kelsey introduced us to various archetypes of Black women in theater. While reading the play, I found myself resonating with Ruth, especially as her husband Walter faced significant challenges. Walter’s grave mistake stemmed from the immense pressure he felt to provide for his family, as he assumed the role of the head of the household. Living with strong, independent women who often belittled him contributed to his struggles. My engagement with Walter's character allowed me to glean valuable insights about his humanity and motivations. The turning point for Walter came when he grappled with the weight of his

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 movement, reminding us th
