We Need to Help Save Water

One of the main topics we are covering in class right now is people who don't have much drinkable water. Here are some of my thoughts.


Edit: I made a small mistake. When I said 40,000, I meant 4,000

Creation Story

Image
In this first unit of our Humanities class, Stories, we learned about grammar and a little bit about the history of words as well as various stories about the creation of the universe and Earth. Our AP for this unit was to write out our very own creation story. Below is my story, along with a drawing to go alongside it. Before all else, there was nothing except Him. The Him we speak of has no name, but He is that which came before all else, that which lives in the void, that which is able to exist before existence. He is that which creates and destroys, the one who lazily rules over his creations, like it’s just a hobby for him. He only has the name he calls himself by, with no true name. The void gives off a cold feeling, maybe something like the feeling of nothing being there or no one being there for you. The void wasn't very bright or colorful at all, so He decided to create the stars in the sky. How he created them is by taking space dust left over from that one time he ...

VBike: Bike Design Concept

For this second unit of Design and Engineering, we learned about how engineers design bikes. We went on several Field Experiences to different bike shops and had designers come in to talk to us about the design of bikes and how that whole process works. At Earth Rider and Working Bikes, we learned about how bikes are made and repaired, and also went out and rode a brand-new type of bike called e-bikes that use electricity to help you pedal. For this Action Project, Better Bikes, as part of a team we brainstormed and developed a custom bike design to best meet the needs of a specific user. The persona that my team was assigned for this project was Vanessa. She has a younger sibling that she needs to take to daycare every morning, and they need to also deal with potholes and loud cars and trains around them. She also has to work around there not being any space inside her home, so she have to lock her bike up outside instead of bringing it inside. Our new bike design is needed becaus...

Squirrel and Bear

In this second unit of my Humanities Stories Class, we learned more about fables. Fables are stories with a moral at the end, usually conveyed through anthropomorphised animals or objects. For our FE, we went to the Field Museum to learn more about stories from Naitive American peoples. For this Action Project, we were tasked with writing our very own fable, as well as create a visual to go alongside it. Below is the fable that I wrote. Squirrel was on his way to school one day, carrying an acorn under his arm. It was a sunny day, but Squirrel was a bit gloomy because he had no one to look forward to seeing upon his arrival there. Squirrel thought to himself, pushing his glasses back up onto his nose, “I know I’ve always been the short, geeky type. I know I’m not strong physically, but at least I’m smart. So why won’t anyone want to be friends with me?”  As Squirrel walked through the halls of his large school, lost in thought, he accidentally ran into Bear. He let out a small...
