We are judging

over 99% of women have been cat called and that isn't how the world is supposed to be. In this unit we explored changing the world with art. We visited memorials and discussed what makes something effective rhetorically.

 There hasn't been many consequences for cat callers.I want to connect coniquences with those who catcall. This topic is sort of brushed off as something that happens to every woman and is therefore normal. It should not be that way. Cat calling shouldn't be so common in today's society. Those who do it are often frowned upon but since it is often a stranger, nothing happens. I want to show men how women feel about those who do it and I want to connect societal judgement as a consequence. Women get told horrible things on the street. It can be scary and why should we let women be scared? What is stopping men from standing up for women? Why do so many just turn the other way when they see this happening? It is truly disgusting. This has been going on for so long with such little action. 13% of women are cat called by the age of 10. Over 99 percent of women have been street harassed. Over 99 percent. Almost every woman deals with it. This art work would be posted as a poster. I chose photos because it is so easy to connect to real people. Paintings can be hard to feel emotions towards.

Making a Space

Making a Space For this AP we focused on making our space usable for school and a place we would want to learn in. We discussed what defines a classroom. We took a field experience to Millenium Park to investigate what defines a classroom. As a school, we asked what it means to be a successful student and teacher at GCE. We discussed what we expect from ourselves and our teachers. The student body brainstormed the traits of a successful student and came up with a social contract for both the students and the teachers.   Social contract for students: We will work in a timely fashion. We will be curious. We will pay attention to the work, fellow students, and teachers. We will be encouraging. We will participate. We won't distract.   Social contract for teachers: We will accept feedback. We will be accommodating and flexible. We will be patient. We will have one on one time. We will be excited to teach! We will be understanding.   Both the student body and the teachers agre...

Economical space travel: Billionaires in space

In this term we looked at space and space exploration. We started by looking back at the antient astronomers that paved the way for what we know today. We learned about Aristotle, Pytholmy, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, and Kepler. We discussed how the ideas around our universe changed and how religion shaped science. We also learned about Kepler's laws and the math of ellipses. For our action project we looked forward. We asked ourselves what challenges are facing the future of space exploration. We read articles from NASA and frontiers to get an understanding of the grand challenges and each of us picked one. I picked economical space travel. The economy of space has always been very interesting to me so this was a wonderful opportunity to learn more. I learned about how capitalism impacts space travel and those who are trying to make space travel accessible for those who can afford it.  Citations:  Image from: Wattles, Jackie. “Jeff Bezos Is Going to Space for 11 Minutes.

Making a Future

 In this unit we learned about interest. For me looking into the future always felt unrealistic but this AP crunched it down to the numbers. This made it a lot easier for me to understand and to feel more comfortable with what I want and don't want. We talked to a bank and learned a lot about personal finance. We learned about what is realistic and different life goals. I am very grateful for this AP making me feel confident about my future.
