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!

House Chores for each room

La sala: 


Yo Sacudo los muebles en la sala


Yo Paso la aspiradora en la sala


Yo Miro la televisión en la sala


Yo limpio la sala


El baño: 


Yo limpio el baño


El dormitorio:


Yo abro la ventana del dormitorio


Barro el suelo en el dormitorio


Yo Ordeno el dormitorio


El comedor:


Yo lavo los platos


Yo saco la basura


Yo lavo la mesa

 
Estoy:

Yo estoy en la sala


La sala está a la izquierda del dormitorio


After thought:


This unit covered the most we've done in Spanish 1 so far. The topic most challenging for me was memorizing the conjugations for each of the verb endings. We did lots of practice with this topic using all types of verbs, and being able to correctly conjugate these verbs is a huge step forward for me. The thing I am most proud of with this action project was writing the chore sentences. It implemented and combined 2 different concepts we learned so getting that completed felt really good. I hope you all enjoyed this project. Thank you for checking it out!

Papaya Pete Welcome to our first unit of Food For thought! A class where we talk about the Anthropological and historical ideas that food takes us including where it came from and how that in turn informs us about ourselves. Did you know that corn has domesticated us? It turns out that what was once a grain has evolved and grown along side us to be more useful to us, because it turns out that being useful to humans has become the greatest evolutionary advantage ever! To add insult to injury corn is in just about any food you could think of now. Don't believe me? check the ingredients on the back of your Cheetos. Its in just one form or another.  During this class we traced back our roots as far as we could go to see what the different foods could teach us about where and who we came from.  We put all this info together in a colorful family tree. We also put together a map with the center of origin for almost every food crop with trade routes and the ancient civilizations that ...

Menu Madness

 Over this whole year our GCE  STEAM class took 3 thematic courses - Water, Fuel, and food. All three classes connected to one another, here how. Water is a basic necessity required for many processes. It can be used both as a fuel - hydroelectric plants and in fuel since water or H2O is a result of the combustion equation.  These both connect to food because through the fact that water is an important component in cooking as well as growing the food, and fuel also necessary to cooking and denaturing the ingredients.       During this last course - food  we talked a lot about the Green Revolution, and Norman Borlov.  We learned about how he learned to cross breed to create stronger more resistant crops for use in countries like Mexico that were starving due to crop diseases like the rust fungi. We considered the upsides and downsides to this such as the way it made plant resistant to the rust fungi but required extensive amounts or water and ...

Jared the Chatbot

Today we finished our last AP for our coding class, This time we learned how to use more reactionary statements that allow the computer to detect whether a condition is met or not and then execute a particular sequence of code or not.  To do this we use If - Then or elif statements. Our AP this time was to create a psudo-chatbot to talk and respond to you.   Afterword: This project was so much fun.  By this point in the course we learned enough that we could do a lot more creatively since we finally had the tools to pull it off; because of that this project became more of a passion project.  On the other hand though I learned that no matter how much coding you know you will always struggle with bugs.  I spent a lot of time especially because of the increased number of lines it took to make this.  It was confusing to decipher what was what even with the comments (The hashtag looking lines) which I used to make notes for myself.
