This project required me to take a topic and ask students about it. I asked the upperclassman at Science Leadership Academy the questions that I should ask the freshman at Science Leadership Academy. Once I found out what questions I wanted to ask, I asked 6 different freshmen for all four of the videos and one senior for one of the videos. I filmed this video in the same space so that the background in this video is constant. Also, the videos have the same overall flow. Below is a list of the questions I used with a link to the post that contains the videos.
Questions:
1. How do you think women should be treated in a relationship?
2. What would you do if someone hit you/ How do you feel about being hit?
3. What are your views on sex?
4. How do you feel about relationships in High school?
This Project required me to take a photo from the Internet and try to recreate it but keep a certain aspect about it. This picture, the first picture below this post, shows a girl standing in front of birds on a clothesline attached using clothespins. The picture below is a recreation of the picture above. The aspect of the picture that remains the same is that the birds are secured on the clothesline using a Clothespin. Also, my recreation still has a vintage and rustic feel to it. The color of the birds is the true color in this as it is in the picture that I got from the Internet. However, I did take out the person standing in the picture that I got from the Internet. I wanted the birds to really stand out.
The remaking of the picture from the internet took a lot of time. First, I dyed clothespins different
colors and let it dry over night. Then, I cut square sheets of different color
construction paper and made origami swans. Next, I used hemp rope as a Clothesline
and tied it to the tree in my front yard. Then, I tied hemp rope around the
neck of the origami swans. Then, I attached the swans to the tree using the
dyed clothespins. Overall, this
project was a great learning experience.
For my Quarter Two Benchmark in American Government I choose the 14th Amendment; Section One in the Constitution and relate it to my life. Particularly my work life. I am employed at Rolling Thunder Roller Skating Center. There I must conform to the ADA. Meaning that people of disabilities are by law allowed to skate at the skating rink. The 14th Amendment also proves the ADA to be true. The 14th Amendment in a brief sense is an Amendment, giving all of the citizens of the United States equal rights. Therefore hoping for no discrimination amongst people in the United States.

I was sitting at a table with my friend and said ,
“Yo u hear about that jawn who was rumblin”
“Naw but who was she rumblin and why?”
“Man you kno how girls always fightin over the dumbest stuff but i
dont really know why she was mixin”
“Oh trizz but yo you heard bout jawn that was bout 2 get jumped”
“yea thats crazy”
This would be how i would talk to my friend at a public place and
this relates to my life because when i go out to public places i have to switch
the way i would talk and act if i was with my friends. Also this goes for the
same with adults if i am talking to an adult then i won’t talk like I’m talking
to my friend and sometimes its hard to switch between these. When I’m outside
walking somewhere relates to my life because i have had problems
with people trying to fight or jump me and my friend or friends because we say
the wrong thing and it doesn’t have to be directed at them at all.
In my life I use many different ways of speaking and i code switch
a lot. For example If i am outside with just my friends then i will joke around
curse a lot and basically just have a good time and not care about what I’m
saying and hardly ever speak proper, but if I’m in public like at a restaurant
or something then i will still joke around but not curse because I’m in a
public place and if I’m talking to my friends I would use slang but if I’m
talking to an adult then i would talk properly. If i am in my neighborhood but
I’m walking somewhere i don’t talk a lot because that could attract attention and
people would then try and mess with me and my friends or start a fight if i say
the wrong thing or if they don’t like the way i talk or the way i sound. If I’m
at home and my mom is home i will not curse because then she would probably hit
me because I’m not suppose to curse around adults, if I’m at school in a class
i wont curse but when I’m in the halls or at lunch i will curse because i would
be with my friends. When i talk to adults i talk to all adults with respect
because that’s what i was taught to do by my mother and i don’t use slang
because I’m suppose to speak proper to adults. This matters because if i talk
to a certain person the wrong way i could get hurt or in trouble and i could be
looked upon differently then i want to be looked upon and how my family is
looked upon.
This also relates to code switching because depending on who i am
talking to depends on the way i talk . For example if I’m talking to an adult
I’m not going to be cursing or yelling or cutting them off or being
disrespectful because that would be wrong, I would talk to an adult like this
“hey”
“hi”
“how are you”
“good and yourself”
“Fine thanks for asking”
“have a nice day”
“ok thanks you do the same”
If I’m talking to my friends i will curse and joke around and
things in that nature like this.
“Sup Fam”
“yo my ni**a wats good”
“YA MOM”
*laughs* “that doesnt make since” *jokingly*
“Yo u did that nut a** homework”
“Naw motherfu***a i was jus gonna copy jawnski’s”
“true that gucci my ni**a”
If I’m outside and I’m walking somewhere then i wont be just
saying anything i want because if i say the wrong thing it could start trouble
and i try to avoid trouble as much as possible. When I code switch i don’t like
it because i want to be able to talk to everybody the same way but if i do that
it could end me up i trouble. For me code switching is like a good skill to
have so then you can know how to talk to different types of people and would be
able to accept more people or to be able to withstand people that others might
not be able to because of there personality or something. To me the way a
person talks could be how there personality is and if you don’t know how to
code switch then you might have a hard time accepting other people for who they
are and might have trouble in the work world so that’s why i think that being
able to code switch is a good skill to have.
For example of a reason you need to know how to code switch in my
neighborhood one time
i was with two of my friends Rondel and Survon and it was a hot summer day and
we were walking to our friend Juniors house. When we were walking we walked
pass edmonds which is a playground where there is a basketball court at in my
neighborhood, and there were 3 boys playing basketball. Then the boys started
walking toward us after we were at the end of the block and one of them was
yelling "COME HERE" but we didnt know the boys so we kept walking.
Then the 3 boys caught up to us on the next block and one of the boys said to
Survon
"watsup"
and he said "nothing much chilling"
then the other boy said " i dont mean watsup i mean watsup wit a
mix". Then Rondel said "we dont want to fight we dont want no
problems" then the boy said "i didnt ask you that but wat if i wanted
a problem" so we kept walking and they kept following us until we got up
to st raymonds which is a school/church in my neighborhood and thats when the
boys were next to us so we were trying to get away from them. Then the boy said
to Rondel "yo rumble me" and Rondel said "why u wanna rumble u
dont kno me and i already said i dont want no problems" then the boy said
"i dont like you cuz i dont kno u so rumble me" then Rondel said
"why dont u and one of them slap box if you wanna rumble so bad" then
the boy said "cuz they like my bros" and the other boy said
"WHAT!" to what Rondel had said. then we just kept walking and they
left us alone because we were going to west oak lane and the gang BI is in west
oak lane and 1-4 is in mt airy and they dont like each other so they didnt want
any trouble really. In my neighborhood if you dont
know how to code switch then you could end up in trouble because if you are
from a different neighborhood then you might talk differently then people in my
neighborhood. If your not from my neighborhood and you dont know how we talk
then most people are going to want to fight you so code switching is good so
that you dont get into trouble in unknown places to you and so you dont get
hurt, you could also end up in a scene like me and my friends did.
To me the way i speak influences a lot about me like the type of
people i hang with and type of music i listen to. In the future i will have to
understand how to relate to may different personalities so that i can get and
keep a job because if i dont like my boss i will still have to just deal with
him or her and the people i work with.
The State charged the defendant in a 17-count
indictment with aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated
robbery. On February 10, 2000, 22-year-old L.J. worked until 8 p.m. as a cashier
at a clothing store in Chicago. On her way home to the south side of the city,
she purchased items at the store for her mother and went toward her home. As
she passed an alley, the defendant came up behind her and forced her to sit in
the backseat of a beige station wagon, where he told her to take her clothes
off. The defendant then vaginally penetrated L.J. The defendant also contacted
L.J.’s anus with his penis, but did not penetrate. He then pushed L.J. out of
the car while keeping L.J.’s coat, money, and other items. After L.J. ran home,
her mother opened the door and saw her in tears, partially clothed with only
one pant leg on. After L.J. went into the bathroom, her mother called the
police. Shortly after 9 p.m., Chicago police officers arrived at the home and
found L.J. in the bathtub. She had not yet washed her vaginal area. After L.J.
told the officers what had transpired, the officers issued a “flash” message
for a black male, 5 foot, 8 inches tall, wearing a black skull cap, a black
jacket and driving a beige station wagon. An ambulance transported L.J. and her
mother to the emergency room. Whether a state rule of evidence
allowing an expert witness to testify about the results of DNA testing
performed by non-testifying analysts violates the Confrontation Clause, when
the defendant has no opportunity to confront the actual analysts.

Edit 200 Photos
Ms. Hull told us to take 200 photos of everything and anything we wanted. I focused my theme on my friends, and my self. I had fun taking photos, and I specifically tried to be as creative as possible. The reason for taking 200 photos is to edit 5 photos, and publish them. I was nervous because I don't know how to work photo shop. But after Ms. Hull taught the class I became expert. So I took five of my favorite photos and edited. I had one photos and cropped and added a colorful back ground. Most of the other photos i changed the tint, blurred edges, black and white, and other things.
