Una Casa Pequeña

      The last few weeks this Winter we have progressed a lot in our 'Spanish I' course here at GCE. We have learned things like how to describe spatial relation like aqui : here, ahi : there, and alli : there (farthest).  we also learned all the various names for the rooms of a house as well as what chores can be done there.  The last thing we learned was the different conjugations for -er, -ar, and -ir verbs. The goal for this units action project was to put all that we learned together.  To achieve this we created a labeled floor plan for our very own house design in google drawings with a living room, a bedroom, a dining room, and a bathroom.  Once we did that we focused on practicing our verb endings and spatial relation by writing about all the different chores you can do in each room with the correct conjugations on them and using estar in a sentence to reflect on location.  Here is are the floor plans for my house!

The Hydrocarbon Held Hostage

       These last few weeks we've been hard at work in the first unit of our 'Fuel' class.  This unit was on slopes, lines, and atoms. We learned about the parts of an atom and how draw a diagram of a covalent bond for the science portion, and how to graph lines using the formulas y=mx+b and Y-Yo=M(X-Xo).  Most importantly we learned about different hydrocarbons and how they are formed, used, and what their drawback are.   Unfortunately because of Covid we were unable to do an FE (Field Experience) to experience the real world implications of this topic, but all the same we were able to practically put what we learned to the test with this units action project a presentation on a real world current event related to our hydrocarbon of choice.  We researched our hydrocarbon and the country the current event is from to pull together what you will find to be an intriguing and comprehensive guide to both a fossil fuel and a real life implement of it.
