This is my third and final action project for my humanities class called Drama. In this class we read plays and look at the historical context and what we can learn from them. In this unit we read A Raisin In The Sun. While reading it we learned about the different forms of racial inequality that were going on at the time, specifically the housing crisis.For this action project we had to write a prologue addressing a scene in the play and give our opinion on the story as well as the opinions of the people that we interviewed in the external part of the unit. I chose to address the scene between the character Beneatha Younger and Asagai. Asagai is an exchange student from Nigeria who goes to school with Beneatha. In the scene Beneatha is trying to talk to Asagai about his culture and learn about it from his perspective. Instead of answering her questions he dismisses her as an appropriator. I disagree with his opinion so that is why I chose to write about that. We also had to take a p...

Student Showcase (2017) Over the course of this school year I took a class called Health and Wellness. In this class we learned about self-awareness, community building and goal setting. For the culminating event for this class we volunteered at a student showcase that demonstrated the forms of dance that the schools that participating learned. My role was mostly working on sound, although I did help out with a few other minor jobs as well. Before working on this event I didn't know much about the intricacy's of working in a sound booth so it was quite a new experience. I also had to use communication skills to get all of the information needed to run sound. If I were to do this again I would have sent out requests for all of the songs prior to the event so I would not have been as stressed out the day of.

This is my second action project for my Humanities class called drama. This is was about reading different plays throughout history and looking at the context of the story and what we can learn from that. In this unit we read a play called A Doll's House set in Norway in the late 1800s, it is a story about a woman named Nora and a part of her marriage. For this action project we got into groups of three and write a script and then make a video acting it out. For this video I worked with MDS and KM . The video that we made had to have three characters, the first being Nora from A Doll's House, the second character had to be a historically significant person and the third and final person had to be a person acting as themselves with there own beliefs. In the video we had to have a discussion about the question "Should men & women have different roles in society?". My role in this scene was myself, MDS played the famous Carrie Fisher and KM played Nora. A Q...

This is my first action project for my Humanities class called class called Drama. In this Class we read different plays and sonnets to learn the meaning behind them and how to interpret them. In this unit we read Shakespeare's play The Taming of The Shrew, about the Lady Katherina and it is set in Victorian Florence. Lady Kate is a strong willed woman who doesn't want to give into the standards that women are held to at the time, and she most diffidently doesn't want to get married. Throughout the story she is beaten down until she can no longer fight back and eventually becomes 'tamed'.  For this action project we had to choose a character from The Taming of The Shrew and write a sonnet giving them advice. I chose to address Lady Kate because I wanted to speak about the strength that she proved the had but still gave up. When writing this sonnet I struggled with trying to use a Shakespearean vocabulary. I was only able to do that by going back through the play a...
