Do Results Overshadow Intentions?

In our third, and last unit, we discussed what a matriarch is and who could be described as a matriarch in our lives. The term matriarch is commonly used to describe someone who is very mentally strong, or positively cruel; meaning when you care about others so much, you are a bit hard on them, so they're ready for the real world. They can also be described as old/wise, or selfless. We read A Raisin In The Sun, highlighting a character, Mama as the matriarch of the story. She is wise, old, and quite selfless. For our Action Project, we chose from a specific scene of A Raisin In The Sun and followed a main character of that scene through the story. We identified glory, their downfall, and the consequences of his actions. We commented on the character's different moments by writing commentary in the form of a Greek chorus. I chose the character of Walter because of his commitment to family and his love for being in charge. In my Action Project, I chose to address the issue of blockbusting, that started in the 1940s and still takes place in different ways today. My chorus is ultimately highlighting Walter as a man of love and family, and defending him in losing the $6500 that Mama gave to him. The story will be explained below...

Background Check: Bronchitis

In the second unit of my class, Cure, I though it would be "exciting" to study Chronic Bronchitis since I have it. We discussed what is supposed to go on a medicine box and why those things are important. We went over what symptoms were and how we are supposed to treat them, the correct way. We had little problem finding motivation, as we visited multiple stores to help us create our own medicine box! So our Action Project, as you may have guessed, is to create a medicine box! Your were right! We also used a QR code to link directly to my video...

Below is the 6 different sides of my medicine box, followed by a video of me, factorizing my box's sides by using quadratic functions. 

Modern Day Historic Conversation

For the second Unit of my "Drama" class, we studied how people view women as "dolls" and how some women or men have stood up to "gender roles" through theater. Throughout this unit, we have read and discussed all of two play writes: "A Doll's House" and "The Little Foxes." In both plays, there was a woman or man who brought upon stereotypes of how women "should" play their role in a relationship. My peers and I, also attended a play about Marie Antoinette and discussed how she follows the expectations of "gender roles." For our action project, we had to create a script for a conversation that we would have with a character from A Doll's House. We also had to choose a female historic figure to add to our conversation, and I chose Hera, the queen of all gods and goddess. I chose Hera because she would be very interesting in explaining the role of women as she has ruled her whole life. My conversation sets in Hera's palace, with special guest "Zan" from Little Foxes, as we discuss how the world has changed as our generations have past.
