 This quarter I took a workshop class called 'Podcasting 101'. In Podcasting 101 we learn to produce, record and edit our own podcasts. With my friend Z we created a podcast called 'Kinda Sketchy'its a podcast where we interview strangers with fun questions about their lives and all their interesting experiences. Below you can find the first two episodes of our podcast.  Overall I am happy with our interview but if I could have changed anything in our podcast I would add some better questions and also I would try and find quieter backgrounds for the interview. Please enjoy our Podcast, "Kinda Sketchy".                                                                                                           GCE ...

This week in our 'Water' core class we had our final action project of the quarter, so we had a mini-unit. We have been learning about line slope and greenhouse gases. During class, we did lots of work putting the line slope formula to use with "real number" with meaning. We took statistics on things like the world's concentration of CO2 by year.  To put this together we were tasked with making an action project where we took a city of our choice and use what we have learned on line slope to make our own graphs of different statistics relating to air quality and climate.   Here is Google Slides presentation on my city, Paris, which I chose because mainly because it is such an interesting place with an amazing history that I would like to visit one day. As of the last few years, the levels of pollution in Paris have decreased by a decent amount. I firmly believe that by following their lead we could achieve the same or close to the same results as them. Although ...

This week in our 'SDG's and you' class where we learned about issues without borders and how many of these issues encompassed by the SDGs are issues that have worldwide repercussions and are not limited by borders. We also learned a lot about fair trade and cooperation. We even went to a fairtrade pop-up shop where we saw tons of amazing handmade products that were made by people who were getting paid fair wages under a fair wage co-op. To put this all together we wrote an essay on any SDG of our choice about  how people and organizations are working to address this SDG. I chose SDG 6 because I feel like access to water is so important yet compared to the other SDG's it seems like it's taken as less important. Working together to Water the World       According to the UN between 1970 and 2015 natural wetland shrank by 35% which is 3 times the rate of forest loss, additionally, in 2014, the entire eastern lobe of the South Aral Sea had completely dried up and dis...

       During this Spanish one course, we have been learning the basics of Spanish. We learned verbs like ser and estar,  basic conversation, pronunciation, and even Spanish culture. While all of this was very new to me, I was able to draw comparisons between this and what I had been learning in the French courses I took throughout middle school so it was not completely new and overwhelming. A big part of what we did in class is practice Pronunciation we often would practice reading example conversations to see greetings and verbs are used. So for our action project, we tied this together by writing fake letters to penpals to teach them about Spanish culture. Also to practice speaking Spanish by creating an audio recording. Dear Pen Pal, I heard that you are about to visit Pilsen! This is some really great news because I am fairly familiar with the Pilsen area, and I want to offer some info on the area. First of all, it’s located right by the National Museum ...
