Welcome to sunny Spain!

We learned a great deal in this unit in our Spanish 2 course. We learned about new conjugations and how to apply them in conversation. These new conjugations include -ar -er -ir verbs as well as ser and estar. Learning these expanded our potential for sentence complexity, and allowed us to try more new and fun sentences. We also learned about comparatives and superlatives to further describe something. Finally, this action project was to create a travel brochure for the country of our choice. We had to apply what we had learned and creatively present it.




This action project was honestly my favorite. It was very interesting to apply what I had learned and to refresh my brain on the subjects. I honestly loved researching Spain, I really hope you enjoyed learning about Spain like I did.

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.

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...

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...
