Poetry
We started off freshman year learning, writing and understanding poetry. Our first project consisted of creating a presentation worthy slam poem. For our slam poem what we did was we found a topic we were interested in. The topic i was interested in was memories. I choose the topic memories because i felt very passionate towards memories. After we picked our topic we started to write poems, we wrote three rough drafts and then we shared out loud our final slam poetry If you feel like reading my poem click below.

After our poetry we started to get into comedy watching it etc. We have also been working on our comedy skits. What we did was Janelle divided the class into seven groups. We went to a table with our group and each person in my group shared something they would like to make fun of. We all agreed on one and we told Janelle our topic and we explained it and she checked it off. In the group we discussed our parts and what we have to do. My group and i wrote out our script and read the script out loud as a group we did some changes but the comedy skit came out good. If you want to read my script,

The Rube Goldberg project was our last project we did for the semester. We learned about current event problems that were happening. After we learned the three subjects which were Immigration, Drones and Gay marriage after we were done learning that we picked a topic and found out more information. while we were learning that we were also learning about simple machines in physics. After we learned about the simple machines we started to look at Rube Goldberg projects that other people did. The rube Goldberg project was combined with humanities and physics in the cartoon we made in physics was based on the simple machines.
