For our first unit of our STEAM class, Cure, we learned about cells and the human body, as well as quadratic formulas. For our FE for this unit, we went to the IMSS (International Museum of Surgical Science) to learn about early surgeries and how they did things back when they didn't have modern luxuries like anesthesia and painkillers. For this Action Project, we researched a specific surgery, and made a presentation on how it affects the body. Below is the slideshow that I've put together for my presentation on hip replacement surgery. In conclusion, I thought this project was interesting to research, and I also had personal ties to it, given that my grandmother on my mom's side recently went through the process of hip replacement surgery.

For this first unit of our Humanities class, Drama, we learned about plays, and the majority of our class was spent reading a Shakespearean play, specifically The Taming of the Shrew. It had some interesting views on gender roles throughout the play. This is especially true, given the time period it was written in, where women didn't have much power and were supposed to always be subservient to men. Women who defied those expectations were punished, usually until they changed their ways and became subservient. This play is a pretty accurate depiction of life during this time period, and Shakespeare was trying to make a statement that gender roles should be changed, to give the women more power in society. Kate and Petruchio's relationship is an example of what needed to change. Below is my Action Project, a Shakespearean sonnet that I wrote and recorded myself reading.
