Humanities
This year, my humanities teacher is Sarah Rodriguez. I will be learning about U.S History and U.S. Literature in this class.
Things we have completed:
Scarlet Letter Analysis - With this portion of the project, we had to read and annotate NO FEAR Scarlet Letter. Throughout the book,we, as a class, would stop and analyze the book and characters. At the end of the novel we had to chose a topic to analyses. I wrote mine on the theme of Ostracism through Hester Prynne and Dimmesdale.
Inside OUT ! - For a beginning of this project, we had to do an aspect of our social identity that we wanted to represent. It had to be apart of a community. We wrote one page one about it and represented it in a photo.
Reading! -This is a list that i will continue to add to of book I am currently reading or have finished.
Dimmesdale - After reading the Scarlet Letter, I did an analysis on one of the main characters Reverend Dimmesdale.
Hanai - For the Ancestry Project, I wrote a piece on the idea of family. I talked about 2 inspirational women in my life and how much of a role they played. I discussed the idea of blood and chosen family.
Una Oportunidad - For the Ancestry Project, I wrote another a piece on my grandfather George Ruiz, and his journey to becoming a U.S. Citizen.
Indentured Servant - For this mini project, I had to step into the shoes of a "real life indentured servant in the 1600's. I played a character named John McCorkle who had a difficult life in America.
