For this unit, Treatment, in our STEAM class Cure, we studied different ways we can treat illnesses. The specifics of the unit was the difference between a medicine and a drug. We learned about over-the-counter drugs, treatments, prescription drugs, and last but not least natural remedies. I really enjoyed learning these types of different ways you can cure the human body. As an athlete, it is essential to take care of your body. We also learned a lot about what the FDA requires on packaging for medicines. For the this Action Project, we were to choose an illness or symptom and identify three ways to cure or prevent it. To make the project come alive, we made our own medicine box. On the box, we were instructed to label the three cures or preventives we had found. The last three sides were filled with our graph and our (works cited) “ingredients.” I struggled with finding putting the box together. Although I am good at assembling things, I struggled with being exact for my box. I was a

In our Humanities class, Drama, this unit we read the play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. We had discussed the impact of women during that time period, and what we have now. We had made a project on feminism in Norway in the 1870’s. We rewatched a couple of scenes from the movie. For this Action Project, we were instructed to create a dramatic dialogue to address the question “Should and men and women have different roles in society?” As I state below, I believe women and men should have equal roles in society. We would answer this by placing ourselves into their shoes and creating a play. We would use one of the main characters from A Doll’s House. Nora, Paul, and Michelle Obama. We chose Michelle because of the extraordinary things she's done. We also chose her because of her voice of feminism. I worked with AA and MJF . Thanks for watching! Enjoy! I think men and women should have equal roles in society. It doesn’t matter the gender because we are all human. I think

For this Unit, Shrew, in our last Humanities class Drama, we had focused heavily on gender equality. We had read the play “The Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare and had studied the play. The play showed us how marriage back then vs. now is represented. For our first AP, we were instructed to write our own sonnet in the style of Shakespeare. We had to play a role from one of Shakespeare's plays and address a problem. I decided to write my sonnet to Petruchio who is a character from the “Taming of the Shrew.” I had chosen him due to his hostility and equality issues. He was very abusive and rude. He had no idea what gender equality was and he was very disrespectful towards women. I really struggled with writing my sonnet. I have a very hard time writing plays or scripts, but with the help of friends and music, I was able to overcome this problem and come up with a creative sonnet. I think it shows the gender equality back then vs. now and the resemblance is still unfortunately si
