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 Spanish in a practical, engaging way.

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...

Classroom 2.0

 Welcome to my blog! Our AP was to design our classroom. Here's how it went.     We started by brainstorming ideas of how to make our classroom better and to make it more functional but also keeping in mind that we are in uncertain times.  We also brainstormed ideas for "Classroom Rules". I came up with a few ideas such as, getting plants and repurpose a book shelf and turn it into a planter box. I also came up with the idea of making an aquaponics system not only would it be a closed system it would open our options to grow things, and taking care of things.      The reason why the aquaponics system is so dear to me is because in the 8th grade, I built my own! I'm taking my critical thinking skills and putting them to good use. The aquaponics system would serve as a serine place of peace because its showing the life cycle of plants, and fish of course.     We also had an agreement for the guidelines of what the classroom should look like, we...

A not so healthy relationship.

In this unit in Healthy Relationships in Shakespear,  we started off by reading/watching Othello. We had to assess whether this was a healthy relationship. It took quite some time to figure out which "Healthy" relationship I was going to choose. In the end, I decided to go with "Desdemona, and Othello". It took me a while to see that this couple who were almost certainly destined to be apart but yet somehow ended up together, didn't deserve each other. Othello was most certainly the lover type but he lacks control of his anger. Othello furthermore was destined to fail. He let his jealousy and his anger get the best of him. Yet even as Othello was lied to about the misdeeds of his wife, he seemed to believe the baseless claims. Here are the criteria of what makes a healthy and unhealthy relationship.  Healthy relationship:  • Mutual respect.  Respect means that each person values who the other is and understands the other person’s boundaries. • Trust.  Partners s...
