Work Your Worries Out

-
Welcome to my first AP for Endurance. During this class, we learned about the holocaust and visited the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie. We also read the book called ¨Night¨. We also watched ¨Schindlers List¨. While reading this book and watching the movie, we learned about the different ways people endured during the holocaust. We also learned about Laura Dekker. She was the youngest person to sail around the world by herself. For our AP, we had to come up with an idea of something we could endure or complete in 12 hours. I choose to challenge my social anxiety and go to the gym for those 12 hours. During this time I was also challenging the way I felt about my body and tried to push myself to grow.  Guiding Question: How do I adapt while faced with social anxiety in unfamiliar social settings?

Slowly Sloth

Hello! For the first STEAM class of the year, Population, we learned about taxonomy, set theory, quadrilaterals, and biology. To prepare for this class over the summer we read In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall.  We also went on our first FE to the Lincoln Park Zoo where we chose the animal we would study for our AP. We then continued to study our animal by visiting the  Field Museum to observe the taxidermy animal we had chosen. For our AP we had to create a project explaining the taxonomy of the animal of choice. I chose Hoffman's two-toed sloth because I think sloths are really interesting. In the project, you will read about Hoffman's two-toed sloth, its habitat, taxonomic categories, and the morphological traits that show the taxonomic categories. You will also learn about set theory and how my animal compares to other animals my classmates have chosen. I hope you enjoy it! CH.

Drawing Lines

During my three-week Civic Term course called “Drawing Lines”, we focused on trying to define what public art is. Throughout this course, I saw public art through touring different areas of Chicago such as the Downtown Loop, Pilsen, and Wicker Park. We met with people and organizations such as Nathan Mason from Chicago’s Cultural Center, Katanya from Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning , and the Chicago Public Art Group . We studied public art by becoming tour guides in the neighborhoods of Lincoln Park, Downtown Loop, Pilsen, and Wicker Park. We mapped out routes through these different areas. We watched, broke down, and discussed the movie, Style Wars. It's a movie about how graffiti writing and tagging came into existence through hip hop and break dancing influences. The biggest takeaway from this course is the work we did with Rich Alapack of " We All Live Here ". He has a mural saying his infamous phrase all throughout Chicago's 77 neighborhoods. Recently,...
