A Doll's House Gender Inequality

In this second unit of our Humanities class, Drama, we read the play A Doll's House, and we also learned more about Victorian times and what it was like to live in them. For our Action project this unit, we had to make our own little play that connected to A Doll's House. Below is the filmed version of the play that we wrote, along with a transcript of the play.





In conclusion, I thought that this Action Project was interesting and fun to do with a group, and I also liked how it connected with gender inequality.

Socratic Dialogue

Image
During this term for our Humanities class, Forbidden Books, we learned about Socrates and ancient Greece. We also learned about certain books, and the reasons that they were banned from places such as libraries and schools. We even read one of these books,  Fahrenheit 451 , which was a banned book at one point. For this Action Project, we were tasked with creating a video, based on a Socratic Dialogue between two characters with different opinions. One character convinces the other to their side, with a convincing argument. Below is the video that me and my partner, BA , filmed together. In conclusion, this project was difficult to finish, but was enjoyable to film and act out. It was also pretty easy to wing it and go off script with this project, but I think that we for the most part stayed on the script. I learned from this project on how to use lighting and framing effectively, and also how to use a script as a base and elaborate on top of it more in the actual recording.

Redesigning the Neighborhood

For this final unit of our STEAM class, Urban Planning, we learned more about how urban planning is declining as time and technology advances. We watched several TED talks, and learned about how urban planning should be done, as well as learning more about volume in preparation for our Action Project. For this Action Project, we had to look at an area within a city and redesign it to make it more sustainable and pedestrian-friendly. Below is a slideshow detailing my redesign of the Logan Square Blue Line train stop/bus stop. In conclusion, I thought that this Action Project was pretty difficult. It's surprisingly hard to redesign a space that you see every day, and are used to the way it is. It was additionally a bit difficult to manage my time, given that it's the end of the year, especially with the current events going on right now, but I managed to pull through with it pretty well, I belive.

12 Hours of Endurance

Image
For this second unit of our Humanities class this term, Endurance, we learned more about modern examples of people that have endured, such as people like David Blaine, who set a world record for the longest time a person could hold their breath underwater, and Laura Dekker, who embarked on a two-year voyage sailing around the world in pursuit of her dream to be the youngest person ever to do so.  For this specific Action Project, we were tasked with deciding on something that we would commit to work on and endure for 12 hours over the span of two weeks. I chose to write out a setting for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, personally, and see how far I could get with those twelve hours. Below is my video log of my work, documenting the process and my thoughts, and the planning table I used.   In conclusion, I thought that this Action Project was actually really interesting and fun. I liked the complete creative freedom that we had in choosing what we wanted to do for the required twelve h
