American Dream Transition

Posted by Malik Tlili in American History - Laufenberg on
The modern day generalization of the American dream consists of Home own-age, financial stability, and luxurious materials. . 

The transition from the modern day american dream and future american dream will be the effect of a brutal war that causes all of technology to be destroyed. the people of the future will live like the first people who roamed earth. This will cause the dedication to finding religious explanations to their existence. The new American dream is to prolong knowledge of the human existence. 

Sophie De Oliveira Negative-Space

Posted by Sophia Deoliveira in Art - 9 - Hull on
​What is negative space?
Its like space around the drawing that is not being drawn on. 
Explain how you find the negative space in your cut out and your stool drawing.
Well, you first draw the stool and everything, and you look at everything that is not in the main focus, meaning that when you draw a negative space, your drawing the outling of the image, not in between the spaces .
Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?
Personally, it does , infact it makes it look better too.It makes it looks 3-D.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
Because it helps the artist to see the real view of it, and where to actually draw it from there point of view .

"American Dream" In The Future

Posted by Brianna Perrin in American History - Laufenberg on
This is a picture of the "American Dream" in the future that will soon turn into a nightmare. In the past few years, the amount of teenage pregnancies have gone up dramatically. Kids are having kids which made them learn to grow up fast. In the population of the people is increasing also due to kids and adults having kids that they aren't financially stable for, the competition has gone up for education, jobs, and living the average "American Dream". In my picture, I was describing that the next decade will care more about electronics, Facebook, Twitter, non-social interaction with people and worship that more than morals that America was set on. Also I believe that the more females there are pregnant and since America is a debt, than dads won't be around being there and not giving money which will have more single moms. Also since the population is increasing there won't be enough room for every kid to go to America. So most kids won't have that opportunity to be that one step ahead because of the actions and consequences of others.

The American Dream: Year 2100, Destruction.

Posted by Michelle Torelli in American History - Laufenberg on
In the early stages of the American Dream, everyone wanted horses, then cars, but in the future the discovery of the God Particle will happen and all humanity will go crazy. The God Particle will show the scientific side of how everything is about but those with religion will become angry and confused. In the year 2100 there will be NOTHING, but war and hatred.

Proyecto de Coversacion 2

Posted by Manna-Symone Middlebrooks in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

  • Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?

    I spoke with man from Mexico named Vidal. He actually messaged me first and I decided to continue the conversation.

  • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?

    I learned that he like sci-fi, mystery, romance, and just about every other kind of movies except for cartoons.We also talked about areas where I thought I needed work in Spanish. He gave me examples of times when certain tenses are used in everyday conversation. I also learned that he nearly perfected his English accent by listening to music.

  • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?

    My goal was to find examples of when the subjunctive and imperfect tenses are used in everyday conversation. This conversation was some what helpful in meeting that goal. Vidal had some difficulty thinking of specific examples, but was able to give me a few that helped me get the general idea.

  • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations?

    I did well with being able to reply in Spanish and not pausing to ask what he meant or use the dictionary for every word I did not know. I was able to use context clues to get the general idea of what he was saying and respond. 

  • What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)

    I still need to work on not using WordRefrence as much. I also need to solidify my understanding of ser v. estar. There was a  point in the conversation where I was confusing the two verbs.

Carter conversation 2

Posted by Bethany Carter in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
In this conversation  I talked to my mom about when we went to a feeding program. I did not learn anything about my mom but she did tell me that she liked that I learned how to make tortillas when we were there. This helped me reach my goal because I was able to talk about the chicken story, el cuento del pollo.
