Listed below are some of the projects I worked on during my 9th grade year. If you select any of the projects, they will redirect you to a more in-depth explanation about them.
Physics
Lantern Project
We created a lantern by constructing a cardboard structure and then creating a design and creating line art of a scientist that we studied using and online program. These were used in Drews annual lantern parade.
Circuits!
Self-made parallel and series circuit
Geometry
During this project in my Geometry class, we created a water bottle design. We were given a predetermined volume, and we had to create a bottle with a unique shape and structure that adhered to the volume. In order to do this, I created the design, then determined what lengths the sides needed to be in order to adhere to the predetermined volume. After designing ht bottle on paper, I put it into a 3D modeling tool that would allow it to be a final product.
Spanish
In this assignment we gave a virtual tour of our house fully in Spanish. Describing rooms and furniture, we used our knowledge on rooms of the house, and objects on the house to identify those specific parts, fine tuning our Spanish skills discussing the house. Some challenges were finding the words for all the objects in the house, but we are not supposed to be fluent and with a bit of trial and error I figured it out.
In this assignment we created a menu for a restaurant we also created. Completely in Spanish, I incorporated 2 meals, and a special. As well as the descriptions of the meals, all in Spanish.
Digital Technology
This is the album I submitted for our immersive experience project. Our immersive experience was based on water. For my project, I composed 7 songs, the shortest of which is 1:46 minutes and the longest is 3:20 minutes, entirely on the piano. I incorporated water into it by how the song feels, the higher to lower notes, and the arpeggios. I am most proud of how the songs turned out together. If I had more time, I would have taken more time with the beats, making the songs flow smoother and flow better. Overall, the work of the music along with the art pieces, lighting, and desgin work allowed for a smooth, seamless transition of our normal school hallway into a beautiful artwork that made you feel as if you were inside of a waterfall.
Literary Composition
For this project we chose a scene from Sundiata and created a graphic novel page of it, for my scene I chose the burning of Sosso, the sorcerer kings hometown.
