WINTER PBL
Defining The Monster
For our Senior PBL, we explored the idea of monstrosity, including how its defined, its ties to symbolism and personal interpretation, and its significance in culture and media. In class, we explored the concept of monstrosity in various subjects, and along with my group members Thihini Nagendren, Jasmine Allen, Raelyn Rivers, Jacob Haynes, and Benjamin Reynolds, we created a mini-movie depicting monstrosity through a new lens that ties together English Language Literature, Math, Economics, and Anatomy.
The movie we created, Human Cogs, depicts monstrosity through worker's exploitation, loss of identity and rights, and general dystopian themes. In order to make our movie, we learned how to write scripts, plan out shot lists, as well as go about filming our footage around the school.

In AP Spanish, we worked on a website based around a specific Hispanic country and created informational pages on different aspects of our countries. This supplemented our knowledge of the identity, society, and culture of Hispanic countries for the AP Spanish Exam. Our research improved our Spanish reading skills, especially with new words found in real and organic articles. Additionally, every month we created an episode of a news podcast, where we researched and talked about different news stories of the previous month. This podcast helped us practice our writing and speaking skills as well.

In this project in AP Calculus, we explored the issue of sea level regression caused by global warming, and took a look at how statistics are used to predict and prepare for worsening hurricanes and flooding and reduce the damage that they cause on coastal communities such as the ones we have in coastal Georgia.
In order to prepare for our test on Units 6.1 & 6.2, I worked with my classmates Alia Hampton, Jasmine Allen, and Delen Frazier to create a short presentation explaining and demonstrating the principles we learned, as well as working through several example problems.
A limit is the value that a function approaches as x approaches another value. Limits can be found in various ways. One method, for example, is the plug in the value that x is approaching and then solve the equation to find the limit. Other methods include factoring the equation and, if plugging in values doesn't work, you can bring in a conjugate.
