As the project for a recent unit in my French II class, I planned a trip to and made a brochure for a Francophone country. Francophone means French-speaking, so a Francophone country is one that has French as one of its official languages. I chose Luxembourg, a tiny country in Europe that borders with France, […]

Speaking Out Project Reflection
In my English 9 class, I composed a persuasive speech (see the previous post) about solving a prevalent issue in today’s society: underage drinking. After writing my speech, I feel that I did an adequate job of expressing my point. I am certain that I chose relevant sources and found good information to support my argumentative […]

America and WW1 – Art Project
This piece of artwork represents September 11th. I created a drawing of the Brooklyn Bridge and the New York skyline using pencil. During 9/11, transportation was shut down and thousands of people had to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to leave New York, and many of them had no knowledge of what was going on. […]
Fact or Fiction Project Reflection
In my most recent English project, I dove into the literary world to determine what was more beneficial to learn from in education: nonfiction text or fictional writing? (see previous post) In addition to this, I created four analytical paragraphs that broke down two nonfiction articles and the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Nelle […]

My Ecosystem in a Jar!
The most recent project I completed in my biology class was to create a self-sustaining ecosystem, sealed inside of a jar. The purpose of the ecosystem was to demonstrate the different cycles, processes, and chains that matter and energy flow through. Through the unit, our class discussed food webs and pyramids, […]
The Life of a Carbon Atom
After creating an ecosystem in a jar (see My Ecosystem in a Jar), one of the final products I had to complete was composing a narrative entailing transformations that could happen to a carbon atom within my ecosystem. The story needed to include processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, consumption, defecation, and the water cycle. […]
The Dangers of Prescription Drugs
Throughout the Drug Unit in my Health class, we learned about the different varieties of drugs, both legal and illegal. These included, opioids, stimulants, depressants (including alcohol), steroids, hallucinogens, inhalants, and cannabinoids. The final project for this particular unit split our class into eight groups, each with a different category of drug to research and […]
An Era of Progress
The Progressive Era was the period of time in the U.S. where the ills of society were no longer pushed aside, and progress was finally made regarding working conditions, food and safety regulations, equal rights, and much more. Throughout the Progressive Era unit in my history class, I learned about the progressive amendments, the literature […]
