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. I would honestly rather live in a self-sustaining cabin in the woods and farm my own […]

[AP Research] Challenges & Changes
[post one] The first draft of my research question was In what ways can conventional fertilizers present in farmland runoff around the Lake Erie Watershed be altered or managed to decrease the probability of eutrophication within surrounding freshwater bodies? This proved to be too broad of a question for there to be specific data that could […]
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 […]
Trig Functions with the Clinometer!
A clinometer is a tool used to perform indirect measurements and approximate the heights of objects that would normally be difficult or impossible to measure. For instance, my group member and I used a clinometer that we built to determine the height of our school building. As you can see in the model I created […]
Parabola Selfie!
For the Unit 4 Parabola Selfie Project in my Algebra 2 Trigonometry class, I went hunting for an a parabola in real life! I found a pair of safety goggles with lenses that measured 2.75 inches across and 1.5 inches from the vertex to the nose bridge. Using Desmos Graphing Calculator, I was able to […]
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, […]
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 […]
