Cultural Autobiography
Throughout this project we learned more about our own and our peer's cultural identity. The reason we did this project is to build a stronger relationship with our peers to have a more successful learning environment. This project really help us widen our knowledge on our own cultures and other cultures. One of the products we made for this project was to write a Cultural Autobiography. To help us and our teacher understand more about who we are and a better understanding of why we are how we are.
Divided We Stand
Both Sides of the Border - Spoken Word
Throughout this project we learned about the government and how the election system works. We learned about both Hillary Clinton's and Donald Trump's sides of different political issues. We also had to learn to knowledge the other side/respect there point of view. We did this by choosing a topic we were interested in, then we chose between a rap battle,spoken word poem, or debate to perform. We had to demonstrate both sides of the political issue. In my case my partner and I did a spoken word on immigration. One side of the story was a girl who's both parents were legal in this country, and the other side of the story was a girl who's parents are illegal in this country . Talking about all the possibilities and responsibilities both girl go through.

In this project we learned about psychic prisons which are our limited visions of what's possible traps us into habitual ways of thinking. So throughout this project we wrote about our psychic prisons and ways to break out of them to understand how it's like to break out of one. After that with our group we agreed on our psychic prison to help people break out of, My group chose Homophobia the prejudice or fear of people who are homosexuals. We did our research 4W 1H, what, where,who, why,and how. After that each one of my group members worked on different components to express homophobia and educate people.
