description- Students are to pull to gether 3 essays and 3 poims that they have writtin for humanities class in the past. The students then take these writing pieces and put them into a folder were they will be on display for other people to read. We also had to find pictures or drawings that best go with our writing pieces. I chose those these wrighting pieces because I thought that they would best describe my persinality.
Greek play project-
objective/requirments: my classmates and myself were put into groups of three or four. Each there were three roles for each group and those roles are storyboarder, big ideas expert, and writer. Each group made there own plays. Other groups would look over eachothers plays and vote on whick play they liked the most. After a play is chozen they would put people to work on the winning play so that the play that was chosen could compete against the other plays from other classes that have also selected a play to work on. In the end each class prosesnts there plays to judges and they will select which play is the winning play. My classes objective is to win best play.
Summery:For my individual group I was the storyboarder. My job was to give a visual for each sceen and a discription. My visuals were supposed to capture the image in the writers mind. I liked the experience of working in groups with our own parts. I liked exchanging ideas with other group members and creating something greate for other peopel to judge. the only con about being the storyboarder is that sceens change and it can be challinging to keep up with the two people with creative minds.
Three Deadly L's: The Three Deadly L's is the name of the play that was selected in my class. For this play I was in the set design group and I liked the experience of having a challange, that challange would be haveing to move big and small items on a stage quickly and quitly enough so that people that watch the play will not loose there focus on what happens.
Literature-
-House On Mango Street was a book that me and my class read for Humanities. This book was about a girl raised in a poir community that she did not like. The main source of her problems was her house, she felt berdined with the fact that she had do say she lived in the big dirty house. She strougled with the fact she was growing up and had to find a way to leave Mango Street before she got too old. I had mixed feelings about this book because I could not realate. I could not realate because I have never felt what she has felt.
-Sammy And Juliana was a book about a boy called Sammy and how he looses many things that he has come to love but learning valuable life lessions from them but he still strugglles with looseing the people that he has come to love. He looses the person that he is sure is his one true love.This was only the begginig of his loss. I thought that this was a book with really good lessons on life like love this people that you know because you dont know what they can teach you.
-Antigone was a play about a leader that defeated his enimy dead in the open for everyone to see. The sister of the dead man wants to make sure that her brother is respected no matter what it takes in death. the king had said that he does not want anyone to barry the dead man so that everyone will know what the king can do. The sister of the dead man burried him and the king found out so he had her put in a tomb and after long he realized that he had done the rong thing so he decides that will let the girl go but it is too late because she had killed her self allready. I liked this book because of the messages that it had for everyone.
-I chose the book called Jobs. This is book is an autobiography about Steve Jobs, the man who created the Apple company. Steve jobs started off small with just an idea in collage but he bellieves that he cando anything with the right help. So he decides that he can assemnle a crew of peope including his friend Waz. Steve jobs then envented the apple computer and after that his buisness sky rockited so he took cgarge and started makeing calls for the company. I liked this book because it shows you so much can happen if you truly believe in something and want to make it great.
-The Giant Within is a book about yourself and how you can make yourself. This book gives examples of other people that have changed there lives by adventuring and believing that they are there own bosses. I liked this book because its lessons are universal. This book helped me get a sense of wonder instead of beinf desensitized.
Essay:
-H.O.M.S
Life is hard and finding a reason to do certain things like finding a job seem pointless because somewhere in there life they made a mistake that they don't think they can fix because they have no hope. Hope is hard to come by but there is no reason to give up on it because without hope in your life there is nothing left, only the cold facts, but some people believe that there is hope and they are in no way willing to give up. When there is a will there is a way. Esperanza is a girl who lives in the ghetto but she knows that she is to strong to live on Mango Street forever. This was the first perogragh of my H.O.M.S essay. I recieved a 2 on this paper. I will follow the my teacher guid on how to wright essays.
