English 4 Beat Generation Creative Poem
For this English assignment we had to write a creative poem inspired by the Beat texts we had been reading. Creative writing and I don't always mix; however, this assignment gave me a new way of approaching an assignment where I feel out of my element.
I’ve become accustomed to the holes in the sky
Ever since the stars became unavailable
It has come to that
But ‘daughter time’ still tries to count them
Her hope is in America’s clasped hands,
but will our democratic society vote to open them?
Government 5th Amendment Information Website
For Government each individual had to pick one of the United State's amendments and create a website explaining it. I chose the 5th amendment, and not only did I learn that much more about it and how it applies to our daily lives, but also the process of creating a website. As a result of this assignment I feel much more comfortable around the amendment's and the publication of websites.
Environmental Leadership Poster Blitz
To help encourage the ACLC community to recycle we as a Environmental Leadership class designed and developed posters to remind everyone to recycle, and properly dispense of their trash. I defiantly didn't expect that making a poster could be so simple but so good looking. This assignment reinforced to me the importance of, less is more, and how effective a poster blitz can be as we saw after comparing data both before and after the event.
Environmental Science, Science Fair Project
Though it was only an extra credit assignment, I especially loved constructing this science fair project because I felt like I was really able to finally master the art of the science fair board. After years of structured critics I was able to take all of those helpful remarks, and turn it into something decent. Also something that I am very proud of.
