Proyecto E1 U1: Lauren Nicolella, Afi Koffi, Olivia Musselman, Eli Zimmerman

Posted by Lauren Nicolella in Spanish 1 - Manuel - D on

In class we learned how to say the alphabet, this came in handy when Eli and Afi crossed paths with a troll that was not satisfied until one of them recited it back correctly, to then be able to successfully go over to the other side.


We were taught how to ask and describe multiple types of weather. This is necessary when Lauren desperately needs to know the state of weather for the day, or else she’ll melt by the extremes she will be exposed to.

We learned how to properly use tu and usted. This skill is utilized when Lauren and Olivia intend on discussing something with their teacher and Lauren uses the incorrect term while speaking to Afi but is then corrected.


Learning the days of the week proved to be an important skill when the date of a quiz is unknown. We demonstrated the concept of the days of the week in a classroom environment so the students were aware of the event coming up, and also being able to correctly state the day of the week.

ILP

For my ILP, I go to Mighty Writers in West Philly. I do a writing mini course along with SLA Beeber kids and everything is going great. I am looking forward to learning more about writing, writing structures, and poetry (that's one of the main things we do there). Something that stands out to me is how comfortable and open the setting is at Mighty Writers; its an atmosphere where you can be yourself and bring your ideas to the table to be shared. I think its important to be open to others' ideas and opinions and try your best to compromise when there are disagreements. What went well for me was getting to meet new people and develop a good relationship with the people I'm working with and my boss.

Network diagram (3)
Most of our technology was connected to our router. This technology includes our laptops, phones, and Playstation which are connected to our router. Our PC and printer which are not wireless PC and printer are connected to my ethernet. I learned how t the electronics I use connect online from the ethernet and from the router. earned that most of my technology is connected to the router. I would tell people that they need to know how wireless and wire connected devices that connect to the internet work so that you would know how to fix it if something got disconnected.

This month my for my Ilp we are going to go see a play called disgraced. Before we get there, my Ilp instructor had us read a scene from the play which was very interesting . It makes me excited to actually see the play. We also have been  focusing on the skill of making our own bodies into props. We are getting the feel for  the space on stage . ILp has been very interesting and fun.  I am looking foward to see our skills that we learn in full effect.

For my ILP thus far, I have spent the time at the organization I work for (ARC) and just really taking the time to organize paperwork out. Things can get confusing with so many parents in this program and information can get mixed around. It is my job for a while to make sure that everything is organized and put in the proper places. I also have been shredding paperwork that is not needed anymore so that no ones information is laying around anywhere and not needed. Overall, I enjoy what I am doing this far with helping out the organization and looking forward for more opportunities I will have for being the extra hand.

In my ILP I am volunteering at my old school.  At my old school there is this program called Playworks that gets kid outside of class for 45 minutes to get involved in some kind of physical activity.  Quran and I are assistant coaches and we help the head coach with whatever she needs.  We usually work with the younger kids but we work with the upper grades too.  I like it so far and hope to enjoy it for the rest of my experience.

ILP @ WPEB

Posted by Tajnia Hussain in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on
Ms. Ali emailed me the options for ILP and I emailed her back saying that I was not interested in the options. I had another option open for me that is more convenient for me. One of my friends, Lydia, said she could help me find an ILP where she was interning at which is a radio station in West Philly. She mentioned how the option was open if none of my other ideas worked out. I talked to her and she gave me the host's email, Ms. Renee. I emailed her asking if I could intern there as well and she emailed me back confirming that I could. I was supposed to start last week but Ms. Renee canceled. I will be starting MY ILP this week Wednesday. I am looking forward to meeting Ms. Renee.  

ILP Progess!

​ After some searching and e-mailing I've found the perfect ILP for me! I searched the list and came across Philly Aids Thrift. I got in contact with the volunteer coordinator and I we worked out something. On Saturday, we chatted on the phone and I can start this Wednesday! I am really excited about this because I love working with other people. Also, the message behind the store and how they help people is incredible.

This ILP will really help me get a job in the future. I will have a lot of retail experience and working with others. I'm really happy about this ILP because the store is so interesting. On the second floor, the store has an AIDS/HIV testing facility in a non threatening enviroment. I think this a great place and I am super excited to start, THIS WEEK!

ILP November Update

Posted by Claire Byrnes in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on
Over the past few weeks I have sent emails, helped to plan a college information session and am still working on a directory. Through the emails lists I’ve informed the All City Orchestra and Band about various opportunities such as free concerts and workshops. One of these opportunities was a College Workshop. I helped bring the food to the Kimmel Center and set everything up. I also worked on a directory of the musicians in the International Conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians (ICSOM). Project 440 and I will send out emails to ask these professional musicians if they were involved with the All City Philadelphia and whether or not they’d like to share their experience or donate money.

For my ILP, I've been working on sorting out the boxes. I will be doing this until the competition starts, since there are 72 boxes. Sorting these boxes out requires a lot of focus. It was hard at first figuring out if the pieces of the legos are right, but since I've went through a lot of boxes already, it's become easier.


ILP Checkin - Month 2

Posted by Thomas Wallison in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on
My ILP hasn't happened since I last checked in. Last week most schools besides SLA had a half-day, and since I'm working in a classroom at one of those schools, I had nowhere to go. I hope that what I've been doing continues happening. So far I've enjoyed what I've been doing. I hope that what's been going on so far with this so here we go.

ILP Month 2

Posted by Nicholas Shaw in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on
Since the last post on slate about my ILP, I've learned a lot. Even though I haven't had my ILP because of no school and cancellations. I learned the parts of the hardware of the computer. I learned how to re-image a computer, and also how to update something on several computers at once. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn about the different aspects of fixing computers. I'm also looking forward to when I can fix student's computers.

Nat ILP November Update

Posted by Nathaniel Hilton in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on
Recently I have moved away from the idea of a recording studio, every place I have emailed has rejected me or not replied. So I then decided to work for my dad, but my dad could not provide me with enough work every week. Although my mom is willing to have me as an intern at her office, People Metrics. Here I would take photos and draw pictures for the online blog. I like the idea of the freedom that follows this both creatively and physically. I am allowed to roam around the city and take photos, I would then return to the office and show the photos to the blog manager George. The other ILP offer that came up is from Ms. Giorgio, I would work for AIA, which is some sort of Architecture foundation or firm. There seems to be ideas about redesigning their logo, which interests me as well.
