Hello Visitor, I'm taking a class called Art of Rhetoric where we learn how Rhetoric can be used, why it is used, and how Rhetoric affects us today. Before this Action Project we talked about the Rhetoric appeals that are used in things like Advertisements like Political Campaigns, learned about rhetorical devices like allusion, allegory, alliteration, and went on an FE to a Budget & Government Operations committee meeting. Right before we started the Action Project we evaluated some flyers to get the grasp of what a flier should look like and the possible things we can improve on our flier. Now for this Action Project, we were asked to raise awareness of an issue relating to Housing in the medium of a flier. Now in the making of this flier we have to use rhetorical devices and appeals. The Housing Issue I chose, was the development of an 108 unit in the center of Englewood making only 10 apartments affordable. My appeal to logos was the use of the CMAP data into my flier. My a...

 Hello! The class this project is based on is Intro To Coding. A course that's teaching us the basics and a quick summary of how computers come to be. Also teaching how coding is an extremely important and fundamental part of society. This Project called "Blank" is having us make a code that is related to our Stem class and another code that is related to our Humanities class. The code for my Steam class is a parallelogram calculator and my Humanities code is a random fact generator that generates facts from the topics History, English, Art, and Philosophy.  The challenge I had to overcome was learn how to use if statements, but luckily my teacher was there to assist me so the process wasn't AS mind numbing. I think what I could've done instead was finish the STEAM code last since that was just a formula and worked more on the code with more "content" since that was the more complicated one of the two. 

Hi Visitor, In Design & Engineering Unit 1 we focused on how daily uses like public transportation, cars, and other essential tools that we take for granted aren't designed for the use of Seniors. We read an article about how the population of seniors is only going to rise, so it's better that we start designing with seniors in mind. Before this upcoming action project was presented to us, we learned classes of levers, math concepts like soh-cah-toa, vectors, and the Pythagorean theorem. This was also met with articles that talk about aging and the things that come with it, like weakened muscles and aging bones, so we can further empathize with the seniors. For this action project, we were asked to make a garden tool that is tailored to a senior gardener. The preparation for this was an interview with a senior gardener, so we could identify the common problems that seniors are having and possibly solve them. I interviewed a farmer; even though it’s a more extreme version of...
