Espanol Summer!
The project was to find and select 5 or more pictures from past summers. We were to find the pictures and describe them using our espanol vocabulary and past tense words.
How did you apply the SLA core values to your project. Then we had to create the pictures into a presentation and post it into sla blog aka slate.
I questioned about my family history. I Researched what i used to do in my past summers. I collaborated with my relatives to get the pictures. I am presenting my project on slate. I am reflecting on it with these reflection questions.
What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?
I learned that fue means was and other past ensue words.
What did you change about your final project based on peer feedback? What did you change based on Srta. G’s feedback?
Nothing was changed.
If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?
I would have more than three people peer edit my work
Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
The project was new and fun. It wasn't something that I had expected.
Do you have any suggestions for me if I do this same project next year?

One suggestion is to be more flexible with the number of pictures. If a person only has like 2 or 4 then that should be worth more than just a C.

| I felt that I learned that all of the past tense verbs and used them well during this project. Also I enjoyed having every detail in my presentation and involving my family in this project. In all, this project was very fun to do even though it was hard going back and forth with the dictionary. | I feel like this project was rushed a little and I wish I had more peer edits because all of my peers said it was okay but after the teacher edits, there were some things that needed to be changed. |
How did you apply the SLA core values to your project?
Inquiry: I questions how I would organize and get started on my work.
Research: I researched a lot of terms in my project from the dictionary.
Collaboration: I had a lot of peer edits and teacher edits done.
Presentation: I used Keynote to present my work.
Reflection: I am looking back and writing what i can do differently and what I think my strongest and weakest points in this project were.
What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?
Learned more about past tense verbs and that you don't have to conjugate the verb if it is after "gusta".
What did you change about your final project based on peer feedback? What did you change based on Srta. G’s feedback?
Peer: Nothing because I didn't get a lot of feed back.
Srta. G: I would make sure that i did all of her edits correctly.
If you had the opportunity to start your project all over again, how would you do it differently?
I would spend more time on the wording and see what I can do to make my project nicer.
Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not?
I enjoyed this project because I got to include my family and because past tense verbs are easy for me.
Do you have any suggestions for me if I do this same project next year?
Review more the the past tense verbs and stress the use of a dictionary.What did you learn about Spanish through completing this project?

Zac Castro - Q1 - Art
So this is my
2nd drawing of Jamie (backside). The reason I say it's my 2nd drawing is
because someone took down my 1st drawing, and i don't know who or where it went
to. My 2nd drawing isn't as good as the 1st one i had drawn but my drawing is
very cool. I know it may be hard to see because of the paper i used but i
outlined it with some darker colors. Its not very detailed but i did a last
minute job cause of the problem i had. I just want to give a special thanks to
Emma for helping Matt Ferry and me out for being my Art partner. So yeah, I'll
take comments (good or bad). So thanks and here is my drawing

Philadelphia Curfew
I am lobbying against the age restriction of curfew in Philadelphia. I feel as though the ages should not be under 18 because that affects a lot of teenagers that do have jobs out there. For example all of the 17 year old that have jobs out there and are done at 11 pm at night or later.
I want to investigate on this a little more because I feel as though its not right and since one group of kids wanted to cause a ruckus not everyone should have to suffer for their actions. I feel as the the age should be 17 for the curfew because not only are 17 year olds working but they are also young adults. I feel as though if I was to bring this up to someone and continued to try and make these changes I would have a good amount of supports, not only the teens that work late at night, but also parents of these kids. I don't feel as though teenagers should be penalized for the mistake of a group of teenagers who have nothing to do better with their lives but cause ruckus.
A lot of people might think that I am foolish for trying to bring the age down for these teenagers but I feel as though nowadays seventeen year olds should know their right from wrong. That's why I was stating that they would at least give it a try and trust that these teenagers in Philadelphia wouldn't make me regret trying to change the age for them. If this was to be changed and these teens were still disobeying the law that their would be precautions. That's one thing that I completely agree with the curfew law, and that's the punishments that kids and teens would get if they broke the rule. For example if this law was to be broken by a child or yours for example you, the parent would be fined with a bill. It states that if the law was broken parents can face a fine up to $500. Now that should make parents more informed on how serious this law is being taken.

Lobbying Topic #1
In the city of Philadelphia, the percentage of African American males & females incarcerated is gradually climbing. 70% of the inmates in Pennsylvania on death row are of african-american decent, and there are roughly 85,000 people in this state alone jailed. 50% of them Are african american. The topic I chose to Lobby is the african american incarceration rate. The reason I wanted to research, and monitor this topic is because Ive been involved in some of the movements to change it, such as the Saving Our Boys seminar, the Think & Grow Rich conference, Daddy University, and the Young Men's Conference. The purpose of these events/conferences was to reach young boys between the ages of 10-17 to connect them positive adult leaders who could push them in a positive direction, to keep them from becoming lost to the jail system and the dangers of the streets. So far, in Philadelphia, people have been planning and establishing these events at different locations such as Benjamin Franklin High School, the School District Building, even at the Philadelphia Convention Center. Some of the people involved are Howard John of C.E.O. of S.E.I.L. (Success through Education, Inspiration and Leadership), Michele Lawrence, of Call me KING, and Michele Jackson of Positive Impact. Each of these leaders has helped empower the young african americans around the city if Philadelphia with knowledge and drive to achieve new heights in their lives. There are not really any people opposing it, but a lot of people promote, and accept it. The main point of this topic is to show the change that is proposed to fix the incarceration rate of african Americans, & for people to see the movement that is happening within the community. There is no pending legislation, but there needs to be some type of Law that fixates to not only the black community, but teens at a whole to keep them from getting in trouble, or there needs to be some rally to get teens into doing positive things and staying out of trouble to keep them from BEING incarcerated.
Fracking: Blog Post #2
The first people I need in my lobbying project/assignment are the State officials, since fracking deals with state. My Pennsylvania House Representative is John P. Sabatina Jr., my Pennsylvania Senate is Christine M. Tartaglione, and Governor Corbett.
John P. Sabatina Jr. is a resident of Rhawnhurst in Northeast Philadelphia. He was elected in 2005 to the 174th District of The House of Representatives and re-elected 2 more times; in 2006 and 2010. His legislative priorities are crime prevention, fighting problems in communities and promoting urban renewal through economic, cultural and neighborhood development. Though he may not have been 100% involved in fracking problems and such, he has voted yes to many acts such as "Establishing a Natural Gas Severance Act" (SB-1155), "Clean Fuels and Energy Independence Act (HB-1202), "Other Energy Incentives" (HB-1200) and many other acts dealing with energy and the positives of using it and such. Running by my lobbying topic and fracking, I'm sure he would help me in what I am trying to accomplish. I actually feel like he would really get along with me and really have many good ideas in my lobbying process.
My Pennsylvania Senate, Christine Tartaglione, is also a Philadelphia resident. In 1994, Senator Tartaglione became the fifth woman in state history to win election to the State Senate. Tartaglione has supported legislation for quality childcare, affordable healthcare, quality education, mental health/retardation programs, law enforment and emergency personnel, protecting workers jobs, and much more. She works in Senate District 2. As for fracking in the marcellus shale, Tartaglione was angry and called out the taxing of fracking companies, and how they were using the Delaware and Pennsylvania loophole to avoid paying taxes on certain operations. She called out to get rid of the loophole and even stated that this is a true violation. She seems like she would be a great person to talk to about lobbying against fracking in Pennsylvania. I feel like we would get along because she seems like she will fight for what she thinks is right and I am sort of the same way.

Tartaglione has supported legislation for quality childcare, affordable healthcare, quality education, mental health/retardation programs, law enforment and emergency personnel, protecting workers jobs, and much more. She works in Senate District 2. As for fracking in the marcellus shale, Tartaglione was angry and called out the taxing of fracking companies, and how they were using the Delaware and Pennsylvania loophole to avoid paying taxes on certain operations. She called out to get rid of the loophole and even stated that this is a true violation. She seems like she would be a great person to talk to about lobbying against fracking in Pennsylvania. I feel like we would get along because she seems like she will fight for what she thinks is right and I am sort of the same way.
Fracking: Blog Post #2
The first people I need in my lobbying project/assignment are the State officials, since fracking deals with state. My Pennsylvania House Representative is John P. Sabatina Jr., my Pennsylvania Senate is Christine M. Tartaglione, and Governor Corbett.
John P. Sabatina Jr. is a resident of Rhawnhurst in Northeast Philadelphia. He was elected in 2005 to the 174th District of The House of Representatives and re-elected 2 more times; in 2006 and 2010. His legislative priorities are crime prevention, fighting problems in communities and promoting urban renewal through economic, cultural and neighborhood development. Though he may not have been 100% involved in fracking problems and such, he has voted yes to many acts such as "Establishing a Natural Gas Severance Act" (SB-1155), "Clean Fuels and Energy Independence Act (HB-1202), "Other Energy Incentives" (HB-1200) and many other acts dealing with energy and the positives of using it and such. Running by my lobbying topic and fracking, I'm sure he would help me in what I am trying to accomplish. I actually feel like he would really get along with me and really have many good ideas in my lobbying process.

Lobbying Issue: Funding for Philly Youth Poetry Movement (Phase Two)
For Phase Two of my Lobbying Project, I found that since I live in district 3 of the city, Jannie L. Blackwell is my city council representative. I found that she has been an advocate the youth and underprivileged kids since she has been appointed. She has tons of experience in politics and has helped build relationships between communities. Her own interests and focus lies within the community. Her ultimate goal is to help make Philadelphia better as a whole. Since she suceded Lucien Blackwell in 1992, she has been the voice of the youth that cannot speak up for themselves and tries to support them in anyway. Just yesterday, a city wide curfew had been passed into law for minors that are out past certain times. She was the only one who voted against it along with many people in the city.
Another one of the people in legislation that I can talk to is Mayor Nutter. He is a prominent supporter of PYPM and sees just ow influencial PYPM really is. He has high hopes for this non-profit and for our success in our lives. He felt truly touched by how this group of young people can come together and be creative, feel safe, feel comfortable, and share their ideas, thoughts, and etc.
This is Jannie Blackwell

Lobbying Blog Post #2: Fracking
The main people I would need to lobby to are my State officials. Specifically my House Representative: Representative Rosita Youngblood, my Senator, Leanne Washington and Governor Corbett. Each of these people have different views and interests so I'd have to proceed differently with each.
Rosita Youngblood was born in Philadelphia and elected as representative to the 198th District in 1994. She is a chairwoman in the house Gaming Oversight Committee and introduces issue-specific legislation. While she is mostly interested in legislation concerning domestic violence, welfare, health services, personal insurance and property tax provisions, she has voted yes to bills like SB 1155, HB 1200 and other clean energy bills. I have no doubt she would help me lobby against fracking. However, if I needed an "in" with her, I would talk to her about experiences she may have had in Philadelphia and how mine are similar or different.
Senator Leanne Washington has the most interesting biography of any of my representatives. She was a teen mom, a high school dropout, and a victim of domestic violence. She served in the House of Representatives for 12 years before becoming the Senator to the 4th district. She, like Youngblood, is primarily interested in enhancing community; she's interested in assistance for domestic violence, and social security insurance for disabled foster children. I think she would also be a good candidate to talk to about my lobbing topic. She co-sponsored SB 596, a bill creating a fund for citizens with contaminated well water caused by fracking.
The last, and most challenging of my representatives would be Governor Tom Corbett. He was elected to office in 2011. His top priorities while in office are to reduce the government budget, improving the economy and, in that same vein, jobs. I say he is the most challenging because he has been a big advocator of fracking and it's abundance of jobs. There was a bit of unrest because he was sponsored during his election by some Gas Companies. However, he has recently made an Act that would give counties in PA the right to make fees on fracking. An "in" I have with Corbett is that he went to college in Annville, which is where my grandparents live. He, also, worked in a highschool for some time so I could talk with him about how unique SLA is.
These are my three representatives that could help me with my lobbying project. I am generally confident that I could get good results from speaking to them about my topic. Which, is very helpful to know.
SLA Short Promo Video

ZAYD BUT BLASE!
Though it does not look like the person that I wanted to draw, I tried my best and as long as I tried, I'm satisfied. I do what I can put on stage and this is what I'm proud of. I was actually concentrated on making it look like a human and nothing else. I kept focused in achieving what I set for myself in the beginning. I did not know I can draw a whole entire body figure and I doubted myself in the beginning and had no hope. But I learned how to try new things and go for it because life is full of challenges and I set myself to a challenge and I fell great with the outcome.
To start off, I did not know whom to draw. I think it makes a big deal for me because to be honest, I was not able to draw with the class on a model but rather chose a friend of mine whom was awfully too kind to participate and drew him. With that being said, the pose was a major factor for me. I felt as though I wanted to draw him at a different view rather than a front view. I felt as though, I can accomplish more when drawing a side view but can also put a challenge for myself. So I used a pastel and normally when I draw in general, I would use either a sharpie or a pencil but not pastel. I never really worked with them. I wanted to start of light, just in case I messed up on something. When I was satisfied with my sketch, I darken my lines to have definition. I then used a lighter green color than the color I used and used it as a high-lighter for some edges to be open and noticeable in my drawing.
While working on this assignment, I grew confidence in myself, that I can draw what I please if I put my mind to it. During the whole process of drawing this figure, I learned how to shade and highlight important details and I'm still learning. I like shading and highlighting in pictures to show definition and the right exposure that it needs to have.
Smurf Sam Boyd (Figure Drawing)
Although this was an assignment meant to look identical to the model, mine came out a little more of a caricature. I started to draw the upper body then the lower body, that's why it came out so awkward looking because they are not proportional. I really like how she looks like a cartoon, although that wasn't the goal, my picture makes me feel like I drew what Sam Boyd feels like, not so much looks like. My little yellow piece of charcoal was my favorite because they had a really nice flow to them when I started drawing with them.
