Recently in the social justice project, my group and I have been on a couple fieldworks. Our most recent fieldwork was very successful and we learned a lot about our topic. We went to talk to a woman that worked at Girl Rising. We talked about the Girl Rising film and came up with an idea on how to screen the movie to the school. Iḿ excited to share the stories of those girls from the movie with our middle school.
This past week I went to the women’s march and it was a lot of fun. I went with Piper, Emma D, Marlo, Tilda, and Olivia. Even though we weren’t marching that it much it was still very empowering to go and stand among all the inspirational women and men. I loved seeing all the signs and cheering.
I am almost done with my fingerprint project and I’m really happy with it. I’m having fun making it and it really cool. This is kind of like the project. We outline our fingerprints and then we paint them with ink.

Over break I read “I Am Malala” for my social justice book. It was a good book but it wasn’t really about our topic, Women’s Education. It was interesting to read about her story and her life but I think we were expecting a little more about the injustice towards women.
