Purple Hibiscus Final Essay
During the first semester of my 9th grade ELA class, we read a book called Purple Hibiscus. The Protagonist, Kambili, is a young girl who is first starting high school. Her father is a very religious man, and is very struck about it too. He is a very abusive man who beats his family when they "Sin".
For the final essay, I had to write 6 paragraphs about how the main charterer, Kambili, changed. The first paragraph was the introduction where I introduced the topic sentence and the theses sentence. The middle 4 paragraphs where the body paragraphs that explained how she had changed. The conclusion was just simply a summary of the rest, and restating the topic.
Geo Tech
For this project, we had to come up with a concept idea for an app that we could theoretically create with the proper skills. Our app idea was to create a app that could help someone to learn to solve a Rubik cube and other things you need when using a cube like a timer, and a scrambler
Spanish
During this years Spanish heritage month(2018), we had to create a power point and pick 10 different Hispanic celebrities, authors, and scientists to write about in Spanish.
This project was a great way for me to better my writing skills in Spanish, and to show my Spanish teacher how much I know. I enjoyed learning more about famous Hispanics and there culture.
Science
For my 9th-grade science fair, I actually had to choose a lab that I did in class, and explain it as a science fair project. I chose a lab on spring constants. A spring constant is how strong a spring is, its stretchiness.
I learned a lot from the lab, but even more, as I went more in depth for the science fair project. I learned about spring constants, and how to tell the difference between two different springs and their constraints. I enjoyed this project because it was a chance for me to work on my own and show what I could do without another student doing all the work.
Math (Algebra 1)
Engineering
During the first semester of my Engineering class, we had two projects, the first was to design a 3d printed keychain, and the second was to design a corn hole board that followed the given constraints. My original design was this -->
I chose this project because I only did two projects in the class, but I also enjoyed getting tons of freedom on this project. We got to design the board however we wanted inside the constraints, and we built and painted everything ourselves too.
