  Hello Visitor! In this class called A Nation’s Argument we talked about the progression of the United States as a nation. In that, we wanted to answer the question of how a Nation that is supposed to act in unity contradicts itself due to the differences in political views, life ideologies, and of course, the economy. We went back to the very beginning by studying the Declaration of Independence by having groups debunk each page of the D.O.I to understand why and how Thomas Jefferson wrote what he did. We also had to think as a person in the 1770’s to fully engulf in the world of a person that lived in this time to figure out their perspective and the thesis that the United States was proclaiming. Next we moved onto a lecture from Professor Freeman with the guiding question “How is a Nation argued into being” talking more about the Declaration of Independence and the buildup to it. Then we started learning about the anatomy of a proper argument; how a proper argument needs premis...

Hey Visitor, In this Action Project we learned about the last Unit in this class which was Light. The light portion of this class had a lot of math and history. We were asked the question of how we would define time, then learned the general anatomy of the planet regarding where the Equator is, the north pole, and south pole. After that we looked at the history of devices that used the aspects of the Earth like the Sun in order to tell time. The devices we looked at were from the ancient past and we then followed the pivotal scientific discoveries during that era to see how it progressed forward. The devices went from the sundial and chronologically progressed to the digital time on our phones. During the following of these scientific discoveries we learned the math behind every device that required it. So we learned how sailors used navigational devices to figure out their coordinates and the formulas that came with that. So a way that was used for not knowing your coordinates was su...

 Hello Visitor, This was a project for the Spanish class where we were asked to make a matching flash card game about a Spanish speaking city. The city I chose was Mexico city; but preceding to this project we learned about Indirect and Direct Pronouns, Irregular and Regular Verbs. We then looked at activities that tourists would do in these cities and images to correlate to the activities. Lastly, we had to get flashcards and images to make a matching game. This is my sort of flashcards for the game!  Flash Card Deck created by Khayyel Johnson with GoConqr The statements I used on the flashcards are:  Estoy comiendo en la gruta cave restaurante  Estoy en el museo de Frida Kahlo  Estoy en el tour de coyoacán  Estoy en el San Angel Market comprando un el chaqueta Yo puedo pasear a él Coyoacán Artisan Market  Yo camino en Coyoacán  Yo veo una película en Cineteca Nacional Vamos a salir a el Palacio de Correos de México  Los compro en la tienda...

 Hello Visitor! This class is called Light, Sound, and Time; this is Unit 2 so we learned about the speed of sound, how sound translates into waves, how sound travels and how fast sound is in different mediums of the earth; like water, air, and certain temperatures. We focused more on the Doppler effect, frequency, and pitch since that correlated more to the math portion; before we went outside of the classroom to identify how people would adapt without the use of sound and the technology that is created to cater to those with hearing issues. We learned the anatomy of the ear and how sound waves transfer into things mammals can perceive sound first and Then took an FE to the Chicago Hearing Society. In this project we were asked to create a guitar out of the a can, wooden plank, and supplies in the classroom to create a stringed instrument with the intent to repurpose and reuse possible products that would've just been tossed in the trash if otherwise. But how could one create a st...

Hey Visitor, this is a Humanities class called A Nation’s Argument. In this class we learned about the concept and how to construct an argument. To the type of stylistic devices Thomas Paine used in “Common Sense”, what led to the demographic heavily agreeing, To The history and deconstruction of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. For this project we were asked to think of an Independent study we would be interested and make a very valid argument to why learning that subject, topic, or genre is our right ad a student. I chose my independent study to drawing/ learning an art medium.

 Hello Visitor! After civic term, The core class Light, Sound, and Time was upon the junior class. Light, Sound, and Time is about how all of the significant elements work. In this particular unit "Light" we learned about the parts of the eye, How light is a particle and a wave due to the aspects it has, the process of refraction and reflection, how colors appear, and the spectrum of radiation. We were then asked to create a pinhole camera to experiment how light can be used to create images. We had to bring a container and paint it black so it attracts the most light and that'll prevent light leaks from happening on the film we'll be using in the future. Then created a pinhole in the container and got an aluminum piece and created a hole in that also it can go inside of the container. I think this demonstrates the camera being an eye instead of it demonstrating refraction or reflection because the pinhole of the camera acts as a gateway to light like the pupil of an ...

     Hello Visitor, I will be talking about my experiences of volunteering for Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), making sandwiches for the homeless, Cradles to Crayons, and Greater Chicago Food Depositories from the medium of the class I'm taking currently called Global Paz; and how it connects to Sarvodaya and Swadeshi.       For Feed My Starving Children it wasn't difficult, but it was assembly line like work which can be very draining for the mind and body. But learning at the end that we made at least 300+ boxes of food was very fulfilling to hear. My role was to seal all of the packaged food that was inside with a machine and then hand it off to the person who's filling the boxes. I think this connects to Sarvodaya because  it supports people from across the world who don’t have access to food. Which uplifts them since they have an organization/source to rely on for food which is an essential common need for everyone. Another reason for it co...
