This section focus on the Construction impulse. Construction is the process, art, or manner of building something. In John Dewy's The School and Society, he mentions the construction impulse as "The real child, it hardly need be said, lives in the world of imaginative values and ideas which find only imperfect outward embodiment. " (Dewey, 1938, p.60) In this unit, I focus on construction using brainstorm, interview, and survey to understand my area of interest. For "Brainstorm", I use Coggle to make a mini-map of topics I want to focus on. For "Empathy Interview" "Empathy Survey" and "Define", I interview and gave surveys to people about the issues of the Los Angeles crime rate. In the Unit Project, I created a Choose Your Own Adventure with Google Slides in relation to my topic of interest. Participators of my project did a survey and gave me feedback.
