The Chit Chat

As my last Action Project for my spring course Drama. In this unit, we read A Doll's House. We also discussed what it means to live in a patriarchal society. We learned how to write a script as our last task as to reading plays. The purpose of this Action Project was to write a script with two partners, my partners were. JSN and GA. We had to write about the different views on how females were treated. We went to the Goodman Theater to tour the space and as to help us know how to set up dialogue, set, and expression. Hope you enjoy this lovely take on what we learned in this class!

Sarahi Elizabeths

In this last unit, we learned about prevention of diseases. Our classmates did math concepts like probability, to relate to the probability of getting diseases and medications working. We also did an activity where we make a family tree to do a recording of affected disease in our family history. For our field experiences, we had a certified Yoga Nidra instructor come in and guide us through a meditation session. This was to show us alternative ways of healing other than medication. For this action project, we combined what we learned in Disease and Cure. We had to create a patient profile for a fictional person, that could be based on someone real. I chose myself In this profile to learn about my health hen it came to my family. I hope you enjoy me playing doctor!

No More "Mamamia" with Diarrhea

For our second unit in our STEAM class Cure, we learned about different treatments and medicines. We studied how different substances affect the body. Medicament is a term that we learned referring to just the drug that is taken, but medicine can refer to the whole practice. For one of our FE days, we did a miracle berry lab. The miracle berry is a berry that blocks the sour taste signals in your tongue, so sour food can taste sweet. We tried different food like salt and vinegar chips, pickles, and my favorite mustard. For this AP, we had to choose a symptom to study. I chose diarrhea because it was symptom so common yet a lot of people are not aware of the prevention you might take.

Petruchio Sonnet

In this first unit of the new sophomore class, Drama, we read play written by Shakespeare: The Taming of the Shrew. We started this unit with the understanding of what exactly this class was going to be about. The Taming of the Shrew is a play about a woman who speaks her mind getting pushed into a marriage that will tame her. We looked into the Elizabethan era to get a feel of the setting and the social setting of this play. For the action project, we created a sonnet about the characters of the play, I chose Petruchio, a rich man who only wants money. I chose to take a spin on his persona and talk as if i'm justifying why he treated the way he did to Kate.

A. Who says money can’t buy you love?...not I
B.“I come to wive wealthily, happily”
A. Changing the act of the women to mine
B. Tame her to your wants and love you receive

C. I rightly do inherit heaven's grace
D. Draw the dowry, i'll greatly wine and dine
C. Money is love, that’s simply the lord's way
D. Fool you are to see jewels as set in divine

E. A king's death in chess plainly ends the game
F. But that of a queen’s power fights to die
E. Surely, a lords ill fated end their days
F. Sweet wife obey and bear the anguished cry

G. So fool i'm not to think money buys love
G. But fool you are to think love from above
