In English class, I created a future life chart to imagine life after high school and wrote the following essay in reflection: Throughout the course of this project, it has become increasingly apparent to me that living is expensive.

Bills: The Long Path To Law
To demonstrate the long and winding road that bills must travel to become a law, I parodied a monopoly game board. Bills start as ideas that eventually gain enough support to be discussed on the floor of both the Senate and the House. Depending on if the two houses vote ay or nay, the bill […]
Les Tâches Ménagères
Earlier this year, my French class focused on a household chores, or Tâches Ménagères, unit. As a final product, I created the above video to demonstrate how to write and speak several chores in French. Vacuuming, for instance, can be used as a verb by saying <<passer l’aspirateur>>. The project I composed is a useful resource […]

Voyage Imaginaire
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, […]
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. […]

For instance, “Mattel defined gender norms with Barbie and Ken; now it defies them” is an article written by Kim Bellware that discusses […]
