I wrote this poem to creatively express my understanding of sinusoidal functions in AP Precalculus. It highlights key concepts like amplitude, period, and phase shift in a memorable and poetic way, turning a mathematical formula into a rhythmic, visual journey. Writing it helped me better grasp the beauty and structure of sine and cosine graphs.
Yo Soy America Ferrera - children Book about Ferrera
In this activity, I created a short children’s book in Spanish, modeled after the "Ordinary People Change the World" series, featuring the life and accomplishments of actress and activist América Ferrera. Throughout the process, I applied my knowledge of storytelling and language to craft simple, clear sentences that would be engaging and accessible for young readers. The task required me to use Spanish vocabulary and sentence structures, ensuring the language was age-appropriate while also capturing the essence of Ferrera's inspiring journey. One challenge was finding the right balance between making the language easy enough for children while also conveying meaningful, complex ideas such as self-empowerment and social activism. The activity allowed me to enhance my skills in creative writing, translation, and cultural adaptation, as I had to consider both the language and the character's background to create a relatable narrative.

For this activity, I made a music video to teach Spanish words for body parts. I wrote simple lyrics in Spanish about body parts like "cabeza" (head), "brazos" (arms), and "piernas" (legs), and created a fun tune to go with them. I also used pictures of the body parts to help explain the words. During the project, I practiced using Spanish vocabulary, making sentences, and pronouncing words correctly. One challenge was making sure the lyrics sounded good while still teaching the right words, and making the video easy for different learners. In the end, I improved both my language and creativity skills and published the video for others to enjoy and learn from!
