RXXR worked hard on their project and wished that there was more time to work on the project. They wish to bring attention to the global issue of DRUG ADDICTION.

 

The Price of Freedom

This is my life. I am a royalist, living in the french revolution.

 

 

What changed?

Power was given to the peasants and taken from the Church and the nobility. A change was that the church no longer controls the education system. A major change was the declaration of the rights of man, which gave power and freedom to the people of france.

What stayed the same?

It was still a one-man rule of France, just instead of royal blood, it was napoleon. Social Inequality still existed, even though the whole revolution happened because of social inequality. There were still people who had little to their name.

Unbroken: A Broken summary

 

Unbroken is a book about Louie Zamperini, an Italian born in Olean, New York, who went from Track star to stranded in the ocean to Prisoner of War. In this 307-page book, you’ll experience Louie’s adventures as he runs in the Olympics, joins the Air Force, survives the high seas, and survives PoW Camp under Japanese watch. This book will give you the Thrill of an action-adventure book while being historically accurate! What’s the Flying Coffin? How did Louie survive 47 days on a raft? What happened to Gaga the Duck? These questions will all be answered as soon as you read this book!

The First central idea page: I had to brainstorm about different central ideas my book was giving me, and these were the central ideas I came across.

My Thought Map: I needed to track my thoughts to understand why Louie was so desprate to escape POW camp.

My Research page: I needed to understand parts of the story better, so I did research apon a topic of my choosing. (B-29 superfortress)

My Central Idea Page: I realized that in my story, Louie perservered through every challenge.

Thanks for reading through my post. If you’re interested in more content, check out the book Unbroken, or the movie.

Barber’s Choice

 

The found poem I wrote was taken from the short story “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez. It shows the internal conflict of the Protagonist, and Captain Torres. In the rising action of the story, this conflict illustrates that the barber is faced with a difficult choice: to kill a man who has killed many of their man; or let him go free and face the rebels? The barber comes out as meticulous and precise in his craft, and he considers his razor to be a symbol of ability and authority. He takes his responsibilities seriously, and he is hesitant to use his razor for anything other than its intended purpose, as it shows in here “No, sir. You came in to be shaved. And I do my work honorably.” In the end, the conflict is solved by the barber not killing him, and it was shown that Captain Torres knew he was a revolutionary after all. 

LED Lamp Design Project

For the LED Lamp Design Project I was lagging behind a lot, and I didn’t finish my lamp, but i learned some sweet tips if i was to do this again. For example, when i was trying to make my words light up, Mrs. Kim showed me that the insides of the words were going to get cut out, so i might as well erase it to save time. Then, she saw my Lamp in Fusion 360 and taught me how to turn off constraints so it didn’t effect my work. I’m sad that i didn’t finish it , but i’m glad to learn new tips and tricks!

Thank for reading,

Summative Blog for Product Design

Hello! In this blog i will talk about the project that me and my partner did. The challenge was to create a utensil to eat a specific food. While we were doing this, our starter design was for kids to drink and play at the same time by creating the spear, the trident and the fishing straw. But the teacher vetoed the design by saying that the design was too broad and not specific, so we changed our design into a cup holder for the movies. We made it into a hand- like design to make sure that the hand would the cup like we plan it to do. Then we made a switch for it so when you turn it on, it will emit a weak light enough for you to find the cup holder, but not enough for you to disturb the movie. This will insure that your cup will not spill on the floor because you can’t find it. And the hand’s design will insure your cup’s safety by clamping it in the claws, and you can change the height of the cup holder to insure that the cup holder is in optimal drinking height for you. In conclusion, the cup holder became the best design of all.

thanks for reading,

Renee.

Cardboard arcade partner project

If i did this again, I would have more tape on to the hoops,  so it would be much more easier to toss it on.  My biggest success was thinking of making it challenging for people to  toss it on to the hoop. It was fun to watch 4 graders try to toss it on, and we try to help the students by telling them tips and cheats.

I’ d give future student more tips to help them win the game, such as: “choose the ones with more tape!” or ” make sure you are standing on the line , it’s easier!”

My biggest challenge was how to make the rolls for the hoop to toss it on. My original design was it to be made of empty toilet rolls. But we needed 16 of them, and we can’t make up that demand so we swapped with paper cups.
