Ditch The Plastic Straw!

-
Next time you go to a restaurant bring your own straw instead of hurting the environment. In my STEAM course, Biomimicry, we discussed the importance of recycling and reusing materials instead of leaving them to decompose and hurt our environment. We went on an FE to The Plant and learned more about fungi and decomposition. The purpose of this AP is to create a more sustainable product, that is better for the environment.

A School Shooting In North Suburbs

-
This is unit one of the Humanities course in Journalism. In this unit we learned about the news and how it can be portrayed differently. What is on social media is not always true and it can be perceived differently by different people. For our FE we went to the Congress Plaza Hotel to see a demonstration about an issue about a paying issue. For this AP, we had to make a story about a issue we thought was news worthy and interview someone on it to see their point of view. I interviewed my two friends and they gave me some good perspective and insight. Overall, this was an ok project and I hope you enjoy it! In Glenview IL, Glenbrook South High School will be increasing security after a threat of a shooting. On Thursday, September 20, 2018 two students reported seeing a threat written on the back of a classroom desk around 2:30 pm that said: “There will be a school shooting Sept 25, 2018.” The principal of GBS sent an email to all parents and students Friday afternoon discussing the saf

Fruitvale Station

In My elective class, Ollywood, we just finished Unit 2 which focused on "Production". We learned about the main elements of film production, which included lighting, camera angles and acting. By watching films in class, we were able to discuss and gain a better understanding for these elements. For this units field experiences, we had a visitor come in for some advice with filming, and then we went to a theatre to watch a documentary on Englewood. Overall I really enjoyed this unit. I found the AP to be very unique.   “2010s.” Josh Loves Movies, 2013. “Fruitvale Station.” EW.com, EW.com, 2013. “Movie 2013.” Gifer.com, 2013. WBUR. “'Fruitvale Station'.” WBUR, WBUR, 25 July 2013 ,

This is the third and final unit of our Humanities course, called Journalism. In this unit, we learned about photography and how a photo can have a significant impact on the world. Our Field Experience included, visiting Roosevelt University and looking at an array of images with meaning. For this Action Project we had to take a photo and correlate it to the meaning of life. I chose my mom because I feel so has a gentle outlook on life. (Kelly and SDC posing, 2018) It is a huge question in today’s society; what is the meaning of life? We’ve all probably asked ourselves this time and time again. Although this can be a difficult question, it isn’t impossible to answer. Every single persons meaning of life can be different, in fact it should be. With as many people living in this world, it is certain there is no one right answer. This is just another example for how we as humans are all wired differently. Most people’s lives are lived based on their values and morals they hav
