It's Not Blue - Lilly, Jacobo, Lauren
Kind of Game: Card/Strategy Game
Objective: Survive the longest
Players: 2-8 players
Game Start
Separate the game components into five piles
Resource Deck >
Event Deck >
Stats Pieces >
Character Cards >
Discard Box >
Each player must pick one character to simulate during the entity of the game. All characters have different strengths and weaknesses that are listed on their description card. They may pick one out of four categories:
Man
Boy
Woman
Cannibal
Hand out the following pieces according to how many are prescribed for the character:
+15 Health > Boy, Woman, Man (-5), Cannibal (+5)
+15 Will > Man, Cannibal, Woman (-5), Boy (+5)
Gun > +1 Bullet. The only resource card characters cannot lose
Mile Tracker
Shuffle the Resource Deck and allow players to draw one card from the deck. This is their starting resource. If the resource comes with a bonus, allow them to add it now.
Cannibals do not start with a resource card.
Players, do not allow others to look at your resource cards unless instructed by an event. Keep them close to your chest and hidden.
Collect pieces if instructed.
Determine who will begin first and move clockwise. Players are now ready to begin.
How Turns Work
Players have the option of first choosing a card from the Event Deck. They may choose to forfeit this option and move onto Step Two.
If the player chooses to pick up an Event Card, they must follow the instructions on the card.
Players may be able to gain the varying amount of competent such as will, health, or additional resource cards
Players may only pick up one Event Card per turn until they reach 8 miles. Then, they may pick up to +5 Event Cards with each turn.
At this time, Players may choose to exchange +1 health for +2 miles, or as many as they see fit.
Discard the health accordingly and add miles to your Mile Tracker
A Player may choose not to move for two consecutive turns. Any longer and they will have to forfeit -3 will for every extra turn they chose to stay.
Turn is over. The Player to the left may now take their turn.
End Game
The end of the game is very simple, the last one standing wins. After each round players will either lose or gain both health and will. When a player loses either all the will points or all the health points, the player dies and must exit the game. In this game, there are no ties. Players will keep playing until all but one of them dies.
A note to the victor: Congratulations! You are the last person standing! Now, you are alone.
Rationale
Characters: With our game, we wanted to put each player into the shoes of the main kinds of characters that you can see in The Road; a man to represent the father, a boy to represent the son, a woman to represent the lady that the son meets at the end of the novel, and a cannibal to represent the constant predators of anyone travelling on the road. Like the characters in the book, the players have predestined strengths, weaknesses, advantages, and disadvantages. These can affect their success on the road.
Event Card: The players have the ability to make some choices that can involve strategy, morality, knowledge, luck, and skill. The characters in The Road were often faced with decisions and their needs heavily influenced their actions. Two of the major components in It’s Not Blue are will and health. While reading The Road, you can see how frequently events occurred that affected the will and health of the man and the boy. We wanted the players to experience the challenge of being affected by an event because of the cards they were drawn. Hence, the purpose of the event card. The outcome of the event is determined by how many will and health points you gain or lose.
Resource Card: In the story, resources are limited and can determine how soon death may come for that character.

3 Strengths - CTE Lab
Culture As In Identity As In The Self
Introduction
In my essay, I discuss how culture and identity are tied in a symbiotic relationship, when both organisms rely on each other in a type of partnership. Culture needs identity just as much as identity is helped formed by culture. However, it can be impacted negatively by cultural appropriation.
Advanced Essay

Mr. Block

“Culture, as defined by the Webster’s dictionary (2007), is the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief and behavior that depends upon man’s capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations. It is also the customary beliefs, social forms and material traits of a racial, religious or social group.”
From birth, culture has a major role in shaping our identity. We see this throughout our whole lives: a subconscious desire to live inside our groups, define ourselves through them, and even belong to them. People are not born with culture, rather than they are raised into it, for there is no better way to fulfil the need of validity than to be unified as a single group justified through belief. We want to feel as if we are a part of something, because with culture comes presence. It tells the individual that they are supported in what they are doing or how they think. We created culture for this sole purpose, just like race, gender, class, and any other social divider.
This is called Cultural Identity Theory, an umbrella term for a large mechanism with very small gears. Myron Lustig, professor and author of several cultural studies, notes that cultural identities “are central, dynamic, and multifaceted components of one’s self concept” (Lustig, 133). In places like the U.S., where the people are more ethnically diverse from state to state, culture is mostly based on common values, traditions, or heritage. Yet some cultures are considered “unequal” to others. In reality, it is not the cultural identity that is put down, it is in fact the presence of it. That this means is that an identity is not worth oppressing unless it is meaningful. No one cares about who you are until it is a threat to their own power. Unity is powerful and that is what makes culture a danger to some. An example of this control is cultural appropriation, in which “members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by said dominant group” as put by journalist Maisha Z. Johnson. We see this within several minority groups such as African- Americans, Native Americans, and even Asian- Americans who all have a history of assimilation or oppression under a dominant race, Caucasian Americans.
This commonly occurs and can be seen at festivals such as Coachella, the Runway, or even your local mall selling cheap “tribal print” clothing. Currently, one of the largest battles has occurred over black hairstyles such as afros, dreads, braids, and even headwraps being portrayed by white models in the media. Defenders of this will bring up women of color straightening their hair, yet they forget pressure of assimilation ("adopting elements of the dominant culture in order to survive conditions that make life more of a struggle if they don’t", another quote by M.Z. Johnson) and how natural hair styles have been and still are considered unkept and even dirty when worn by women of color. During slavery, master and lawmakers alike used headwarps as a term of enslavement and forced black women to cover up their hair. Later, it would also evolve into the stereotype of the "Black Mammy" servant. It wasn’t until much later that African American women would use it as a symbol of pride and courage, creating elaborate and colorful headwraps in defiance. To their descendants, it has served as a badge of their cultural identity and an "absolute resistance to the loss of self-definition", states Helen Griebel from Cornell University. To see the appropriation of these articles on the runway is a direct attack to the identity. It tells other cultures and people of said cultures that they are nothing until the dominant culture says they are, robbing the original for the credit they deserve.
Americans who grow up in diverse communities may pick up the dialect, customs, and traditions of the cultural groups that surround them. Philadelphia as a “melting pot” city is a great example of this. From Chinatown, to South Street, to Mt. Airy, there are vastly different cultures associated with each are, yet they all roll into one big culture as Philadelphians. We can acknowledge that cultural exchange is not the same as cultural appropriation as people mutually share with each other. Systems like that usually bloom into something beautiful in the same way that blue and red make purple. What makes this different is that cultural exchange doesn’t have a systemic power dynamic. One identity is not overtaking another and therefore the presence of both identities are equal.
It is important to the individual to have presence and to have their own unique presence. No one wants to feel alone, just as much as nobody should feel like a direct copy of another. For this reason, no culture is ever exactly the same twenty, ten, five years into the future. It is constantly evolving with the individual identities it is made out of in a mutualistic agreement with all of them. Culture and identity is not an either or scenario. Culture feeds the identity, just as much as identity feeds the culture.

The Piggy That Wouldn't Squeal
Lilly's Mural
Vivo en Somerton. Es un pequeño suburbio en el borde de Filadelfia. Está lleno de rusos blancos. Creo que tienen una base de la mafia allí. No hay otros niños de mi edad. Es muy silencioso. Los adultos que viven allí son todos viejos, pero son agradables. Nos damos regalos el uno al otro en días festivos. Hay casas comunitarias cerca de nosotros. La gente allí no es agradable. Ellos gritan a mis hermanos y son muy grosero con nosotros. Si pudiera cambiar una cosa en mi vecindario, tendría más gente con la que podría conectarme, así que no me siento sola ni aburrida.
Me gustaría pintar mi mural propuesto en el parque a un par de cuadras de mi casa. Es muy bonito como tiene unos pocos murales de azulejos, pero no pintado. Se ha puesto un poco desgastado por lo que un mural, creo, renovaría la vida y la energía del parque que recuerdo de mi infancia. Hay una hermosa pared abierta en el lado del edificio del parque que sería perfecto. El elemento diferente del mural incluiría valores tales como la comunidad y la aceptación, algo que mi barrio tiende a faltar. Quiero algo para recordar a la gente que trabajar juntos y mostrar bondad a los demás es de donde proviene nuestro pueblo. Vivo en un barrio de partidarios de Trump que son muy firmes en sus opiniones y creen que su creencia es su fuerza. Estoy en desacuerdo. Quiero algo para recordar a la gente que el trabajar juntos y demostrar bondad a los demás es de donde proviene nuestra fuerza como pueblo.
El tema de la pieza se hace para mostrar en lo que creo que es una comunidad más "adecuada".La gente de mi comunidad está muy separada la una de la otra. No se machacan, se desgarran. Para mi mural, Mostré a gente de diferentes colores, no sólo tomados de la mano, sino conectados. Cada uno tiene una forma, un color y un tamaño diferentes, mostrando que hay espacio para todos mientras bailan por la acera. En la parte posterior hay imágenes de hierba, arena, y mar para representar diferentes lugares en la tierra y cómo cada uno tiene un fondo diferente.
Quiero que la gente mire mi mural y se sienta conectado. Incluso si es sólo por un momento, creo que es suficiente para iniciar un poderoso movimiento que se necesita desesperadamente. Mi vecindario es hermoso, pero la gente no lo es. Creo que tengo suerte. Me enseñaron a valorar mis relaciones, porque no me dieron la oportunidad de formar una con ellas. Me enseñaron compasión por los demás debido a su rechazo. Aprendí a ser amable cuando se negaron a hacer lo mismo para mí. Crecí en un barrio donde no podía crecer, es una de las razones por las que amo SLA. Ahora es mi turno de devolverlo a donde yo vengo. Con este mural quiero mostrar a los demás el vínculo y compartir el amor unos con otros. Intentaron ignorarme, y me volví más fuerte, pero quiero volver y mostrarles lo que aprendí para que crezcan también. Es mucho más saludable de esa manera.

Lilly Roman; Spanish 1 Poem
U2 #8 (lilly roman)
The video we watched was called Growing Up Online.
1. The show was about how open the internet is. A lot of kids posted things they would not do in real life, thinking it was "safe" and "personal" when in reality, it was open to anyone and everything.
2. The thing that stuck with me the most was the kid who ended up committing suicide. The fact that these kids were just relentless in their teasing and bullying was insane. While they stayed safe in their bedrooms, this kid was being pushed down without them even lifting up their hands. Eventually he even found websites and a kid to talk about suicide. All this without his parents even knowing.
3. I felt that it is important to watch the video is because everything in this world nowadays is online. People need to realize that the internet is a tool and not a toy. Nothing you do is going to come without consequences and the internet especially is not an exception.
4. To keep family safe from certain aspects of the internet, I want to show them what can happen and how dangerous it can be. I want to make sure they understand how bad it is, but at some point, I think you need to trust them to do the right thing after a while.
5. Like the boy, you need to be aware of whats happening in your family and making sure they aren't hurting themselves or others.
6. To let my parents know about internet safety, I would probably sit down and talk to them about it or even on a car ride. I talk to them about the good and bad things and how we can use the internet to benefit our family.

Slide Reflection; lilly roman
I learned that although I had a good start, I still had some things to work on. One of them was that passion and art had not been capitalized, so I did so in this slide. I also had stretched the image and the fingers were cut off. I was not able to correct the missing fingers sadly, but I enlarged the image instead. Due to this change, the words did not have much room and I had to shove them to the side.

The reason I created this slide to look the way it does is because I wanted to use keywords from my magazine and include them in the advertisement.
I spaced the letters and put them in a unique font that I found eye-catching. As for the spacing, I used graph paper first the see how it looked and when I created a set-up that I found appealing, I translated it onto the slide.
These words included passion, art, and me.
The major piece in out Me Magazine was our passion piece. For my passion piece, I wrote about my love for art. Therefore, it was only natural to include that in the slide.
I also did not want the slide to appear crowded, so I used as little words that I could. As for the picture, I looked at pictures that had not been copyrighted and were open to the use of the public. I saw the picture and I really liked it. I also felt that I could relate to the picture. Art had ¨pulled me by the hand" when I was younger and has continued to do so these past years. It also appeared the be bleeding off of the page and brought my attention to it.

Who am I ONLINE? Lilly Roman
1) We watched a video in class about a boy named Jack. Jack had a bad day. Jack gets bullied at school and becomes a victim of cyber bulling at home. In the video, you can click an emoji to help him so he doesn't get bullied or hurt. After this we had an assignment to google ourselves and see what we find.
2) What it brings to mind that bullying can really hurt people and if we ignore it the problem only gets worse. When we ignore it its just as bad as being the bully.
3) When looking my name up online, I found a mixture of young and older woman including a youtuber. It was very weird seeing that this is what people will see when they look up my name.
4) When you look up my name many hipster blogs and youtube posts post up so I assume people would get a very chill vibe.
5) The goal of internet trolls is to get you angry for the sake of their own entertainment.
6) The positive of being anonymous on the internet is that people cant track you down but that can also be a be a negative, because people can then post anything they want.

1. my family's tablet, computer, laptops, phones, and printer are all connected to my internet.
2. I never realized just how much power your ISP has over your internet. Honestly, It's kinda terrifying.
3.I would tell them to be careful on what they look up, do, or post online. It can be accessed by almost anyone and what you do now can affect you 10, 20, 30 years from now. If thats not a good incentive, then i don't know what is.
