The doll that gets me

The goal of this action project was to make a quitapena doll. foremost we had to make a sketch of what we wanted it to look like first. We then had to construct the quitapena doll using string, glue, pipe cleaners, material, tape, and paper. After we were done making the doll the next task was to say the terminology of what the garments and color the quitapena doll was wearing and also discuss what feelings the doll can take away. I learned about a bunch of different fabrics and materials used to create the quitapena doll.

What I found most difficult about this assignment was using the e-> ie and the o-> ue verbs. It was confusing and hard for me to figure out how and which words to use on. What I am considerable proud of about this project was how good of a job I did to create my quitapena doll. I was really focused and worked very hard to make it.

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...

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...

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....
