We practiced cinematography/image gathering by making a series of shots in a standard-definition video. We learned how to operate a digital video camera and get familiar with the basic shot types used in the making of cinema sequences. Each shot had to be at least 5 seconds and no longer than 15 seconds. 

My class made a presentation saying AI should be customized to fit classrooms because while it does hinder work ethic, it is also a great study tool. The whole class worked together to present for our principal and head of school. We were in competition with the other AP Lang classes

For this project, we had to pick a song that we felt was the Greatest Of All Time. I chose "Be Free" by J. Cole which was written in response to another police shooting an unarmed black boy (Michael Brown) and said, “...I’M TIRED OF being desensitized to the murder of black men..." We then had to analyze the songs for ourselves by identifying 3 literary devices.

For this performance, we sang 2 songs: O Lux Beatissima and Cover Me With the Night. The day as a whole was pretty hectic but our performance was good. I liked aspects of both songs. O Lux was more complex to sing but I liked the soprano section. Cover Me was slightly easier to sing and was more fun because it had a faster tempo.

For the semester final in Spanish, every group had to create a restaurant menu and a signature dish to go with our unit. My group was called Casa la Calandan.
