Peru Trip
Going to Peru over break was a really cool experience. Seeing Machu Picchu was amazing and the Sacred Valley was great too. It was really cool seeing the structures the Inca’s built, and I would definitely go back.

Teach In
The teach in went really well. The students were really interested and involved, and I think they learned a lot. We found out the activity had a couple mistakes, but we fixed them for the second group.
Social Justice
The Social Justice Project has recently become much more stressful. Thankfully my entire group is working hard and things are looking good. Our board game and slideshow are coming together, and we all know what we’re talking about. Hopefully all goes well.
Social Justice
Now in the Social Justice project, our group has been working on our slideshow. We’ve made a couple drafts, and it’s looking good. We’ve decided our activity will be a board game, so we have to start working on that as well. I hope everyone goes okay.
MLK Day
On Monday, I went to MLK day at LREI. I helped prepare packages for kids in need, and make signs for the Women’s March. I had lots of fun and the food was pretty great.
The Stars Beneath Our Feet Soundtrack
For the Social Justice Book Project, I’ve been making a soundtrack for the book The Stars Beneath Our Feet. I’ve been referring mostly to Logic, who has an album called Everybody, focused on equality for all. I’m continuing to look for other artists with songs that will fit the mood.
Twelfth Night
Twelfth Night is coming along very well. My sound cues are all ready and the lights are ready as well. The cast is almost there. There are a couple lines being dropped. I’m having a ton of fun when it’s only the kids in the booth. I’m super excited/scared for Friday.
Learning Values
I have been working on the Social Justice Project, on the topic of Educational Equity, and we’ve been making lots of progress in the past week. Our teamwork has been a little better than usual, so we’re starting to get fieldworks. This shows my teamwork learning value.
Learning Values
To me learning is meaningful when it provides opportunities:
1. To use my creativity.
2. To learn about topics that matter to world.
3. To build relationships with my peers.
Photoshop Project
This is my photoshop project which is a Tie-Fighter chasing an X-Wing in France, with the Death Star overhead. My project has harmony because of how it brings a sense that it’s really there, because of all the little things like the shadow on the water. There’s movement because of how the spin and motion blur give the effect that it’s flying at you. There’s a ton of emphasis on the X-Wing due to the fact that it’s front in center. The proportion of the Death Star with Notre Dame shows how big the Death Star is. The X-Wing and Tie Fighter are bigger than everything else so you know that’s what you should look at.
