This unit in Endurance, we learned about mental and physical endurance as well as people who had endured a challenge in their life. Mental endurance is having perseverance through a challenge that affects the brain, or how you think. Physical endurance is having perseverance through a challenge that affects the body. We found our personal mission and thought about how we will achieve that mission. During the journey to completing that mission, I will have to face many challenges that I will have to endure to achieve my ultimate goal. In class, we learned about multiple people who went on to complete a personal goal and had to endure a physical/and or mental challenge. Laura Dekker is a perfect example of a person who undergoes a mission and encounters troubles that she must endure. Laura Dekker was the youngest person to circumnavigate the world alone at the age of 14. During Laura's journey, she faced many battles within herself as well with the oceans. One physical challenge she faced was after a strong storm passed through and destroyed certain parts of her boat. She had to take a break and fix her sailboat to continue her mission. The purpose of this action project is to taste what your mission feels like by working on it for at least 12 hours. If you are passionate about your mission, it's time to dive in and be held accountable for achieving your dreams. For this Action Project, I decided to focus on creating a freelance business for myself so I can ultimately professionalize my art for potential clients. During the 12 hours of creating my business, I first started with creating a business card and professionalizing my Instagram and create a website on Wix. Surprisingly, my aunt had an event she wanted me to film a promotional video for her organization that weekend. I had to prepare by picking up tripods and microphones and preparing questions for interviews. The day of the event was extremely tiring in the best way. I woke up early to go to the place the event was held, I set up the cameras for b-roll and interviews and was ready. During the event, I met a lot of small business owners and exchanged business cards with them in hopes of creating connections. Throughout the challenge, I was constantly reminded of Elie from the book Night. Although Elie, had to face a much bigger challenge that was forced on him and his family, I was reminded that one must have perseverance during a challenge. After the third day of the challenge, I had lost my interest and passion for creating the business, but I knew I had to keep going. The 12-hour challenge was a bit difficult, but I definitely achieved my goal and I have already gotten in contact with potential clients! Below is my Vlog and Vlog planner for the 12-hour challenge enjoy!

The Fault in The Presidental Cabinet
This unit in Argument, we learned about making a synthesis. A synthesis is a conclusion that resolves 2 opposing parties by finding a middle ground between their argument. For the final Ap in this unit, I had to chose a role in the Presidential Cabinet and appoint a person that would better fit that role. This AP was fun and only took a few days to finish considering the amount of days left in the term. I am most proud of completing it within those days. Below is my final AP, enjoy!

The New and Improved Contact... THE TIMETACT
This unit for LST,my class explored time, if time is even real, how to view time and how to measure time. I learned that one of the first ways people used to measure time was the sundial. The sundial measures time with the sun and casts a shadow from a stick. Whichever angle that shadow is casting, you add an hour for every 15 degrees. For our field experience, my class went to the Planetarium to get a better understanding of light and how the universe displays that. The purpose of this Action Project is to create a unique time telling device that is inspired from the ones we looked at in class.
My idea for a new time-telling device is contact lenses that display time 24/7. The time will be embedded during the process of getting your prescription at the eye doctor. It will be a contact where the time will be displayed inside the prescription. The units will be second, minutes and hours, just like any other modern clock, but it will not be a clock more just a display for time. The contact that tells time is related to light because it attaches to the eye. In order for the eye to work, the pupil lets light in and when a contact is put on top of the eye light is going through contact and then the eye.The contact is effective because you will always be able to keep track of time, there is no way right now to always be on track of time 24/7.It prevents people from being late because the person will know always know what time it is.

Reviewing the Great Gatsby
This 2nd term I took a class called Ollywood, where we learned how to critic a film. I learned about the elements to pre-production,production and post production to properly review a film. Pre-production involves location scouting, casting actors ,storyboard and costume design . Production is the shooting of the film involving camera angles and lighting .Post production is editing the film, sound editor and helping with the aesthetic of the film through CGI. In class, we watched Amelie,Jaws and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, after we had to review and criticize the film based on its pre,production and post. In Ollywood, we got to get out of the classroom a lot, since film involves getting up and going around the city. One of my favorite FE's(field experience) was location scouting. Our class had to get excerpt from a book,visualize it by turning it into a scene and find a location that would best fit that scene. It was exciting to get out and I felt like a professional location scouter!
For the action project we had to choose a film we either hate or loved and had to give a review on it with a partner. My partner, CG(https://cggcelabschool.blogspot.com) and I chose to review, The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann in 2013. I found this project to be enjoyable since I fell in love with The Great Gatsby the first time I saw it and was happy to critic it. One difficulty I had with this AP was the post production, editing videos can be tedious and can take lots of time for a small section. Specifically, my partner and I had trouble getting the blue-screen to work for a background. We had to watch videos and get help from our teacher, but it was an easy problem to fix in the end.

Imagine A World Where Everyone is Represented in TV shows and Movies
In Unit 1 in Rhetoric ,we learned about rhetorical devices and persuasive speeches. For this Action Project , I had to create a question that involved political importance and answer with persuasion using ethos ,pathos and logos. The purpose of this action project is to answer the question you've created with persuasion in 2 minutes. After finishing my first action project I am proud of getting the video done in at exactly 2 minutes and choosing a topic that I can talk about from experience. This AP made me realize how hard it is to persuade someone in the most effective way using all three methods and, how much logos matter when trying to get your audience to receive your message.
The question I chose to answer is ,"how does lack of representation in the entertainment industry affect how children grow up to view themselves and others?"I chose this question because I felt as if minorities were not being represented as much as white people are . It causes self-esteem issues, lack of confidence and changes the way society views people. People ignore this problem, I wanted to shed light onto it and persuade my audience that it is an issue and affects our society.
For my first action project I am proud of getting the video done in at exactly 2 minutes and for choosing a topic that I can talk about from experience. In part of my speech ,I talked about how lack of representation affected me. I wanted to get my audience to feel as if they could trust me by sharing my experience. I knew that not only me has been affected by lack of representation. I am also proud that my video ends at 2 minutes, I thought I would have trouble trimming some of my speech out, but I got to say everything in the time frame.
This AP made me realize how hard it is to persuade someone in the most effective way using all three methods( pathos,logos,ethos), and made me realize how much logos matter when trying to get a message across. While editing my videos , I learned how to add watermarks and a logo on a video. When I typed out my speech , I found it was difficult to use ethos, but found pathos and logos easy to use. When using only 2 methods, a speech isn't as effective as it could be if someone would use all 3. When making my logo, I wanted to make something that went with my message , I decided to create a different skin tones raising their hand in a television to show diversity.
This Unit 1 AP was a good learning experience, I learned about rhetoric and rhetoric devices(pathos,egos and logos). I got to know the process of creating a persuasive speech, by putting together statistics, knowing who your audience is , using emotional appeal and establishing credibility.
Script:
Lack of representation in the entertainment industry has a negative effect on children who are minorities and results in self esteem issues .Hollywood and big name productions in the industry are known for casting majority white actors. When casting roles for minorities they assign a specific role or a role that is stereotypical, this is called type casting.
For example African Americans are usually cast for slave movies, or thug related roles.
Asians are usually cast to act as an ethnicity that they are not.Indians/ or middle easterners are cast to act as terrorist and talk with a stereotypical accent. Mexicans are cast for thug related roles and as cholos.
Children begin watching tv and movies around the age of 2 or 3 , the age when their minds are starting to develop opinions . When they don’t see themselves represented in tv shows and movies they begin to look for themselves in other races. If they do see themselves represented ,but in a stereotypical way, it will have a negative effect on how they view themselves.When minorities see white children act in main roles continuously, they start to put white people on a pedestal and demean their own race or culture.
When i was younger i used to watch disney channel, most shows had a white main character except for one show, That's so Raven. watching white main characters, I couldn't relate to them. Watching a main character that was an african american girl helped my self esteem because i looked like her and could relate to her issues.
In 2015 and 2016 all oscar nominees were white this caused backlash from the viewers. The angered viewers created a hashtag that depicted the lack of diversity in hollywood.In politics, when choosing who to vote for the president , people tend to vote for the candidate whom they think will help the country the most.But race influences that decision. In 2008, african -american candidate Obama was running for president, some racist voters decided to vote for his opponent John Mccain simply because he was white. Growing up and seeing african american roles as slaves and thugs, that mentality stays with you as you get older. But because Obama was elected president he has been dismissing those negative stereotype toward blacks.
