The Changing of Dogs.

This is an action project for mt core class POPULATION. In this project, we have been learning the difference between mutation, natural selection, variation, and evolution. A mutation is the changing of the organism on a more cellular level. Natural selection is like the survival of the fittest where the organism with the most favorable traits will be the ones to most likely survive. Variation is the change in certain genes making the organism different from the others. Evolution is the change of something for the benefit of the organism. We have been trying to incorporate this into the real world and how it can affect the animals we know today. Below is a poster showing my project and how dogs will change in the future. We have also been learning about the mean, median, and mode along with the first quartile, third quartile, and the IQR. In the poster below, I have the weight and height of each of my dogs.

In conclusion, I think that the dogs that I chose will eventually learn to adapt to the new environment. I believe that the dogs will evolve and mutate to better suit their new environment. I think that they will be medium-sized dogs with a thick jacket of fur. I also think that they will have big ears and longer legs to navigate through the rubber bands on the island. I found it interesting to be able to learn the different types of change in organisms. I found it difficult to make a representation of my chosen organisms. I was able to overcome this by taking it and molding it to the best of my ability.

A Letter To the Government

This is an Action Project for my core class Policy. During this term, we have been looking at policy and how and what it is. We looked at it in the constitution and also in the government today. We took a look at different policies in Chicago and how they would change the world in a good or bad way. We were also visited by a few FE guests who should us a deeper meaning behind policy and how it can help us in the end for this project. We were visited by Arne Duncan, Akio Katano, the CCHR, and Nick Anderson. Keeping in mind the things they taught us about, we were tasked with finding a policy in Chicago (preferably a new one), and then creating a letter addressed to someone who represents me and my city asking them to advocate for this policy. The policy I chose was about the Anjanette Young Ordinance. This led me to research more into this policy and why what the police did was so wrong. Not just because they broke into an innocent civilian's home, but because they did so against t...

Is the Vietnam War a Just Cause for Freedom?

This is an action project for my core class Policy. This is the last action project for this class for the year. During this unit, we learned about different wars and how they have affected the world. We also took a look at if they are justified or not. We chose between wars fought in the past and decided to research that specific war. We also took a deeper dive into what makes a policy and who makes them. We looked at policies made by congress and some that are made by the president without the advise of congress. For this project I was tasked with researching a war in history and how it affected the US and if it is a justified war or not. The Vietnam War The Vietnam War is justified by fighting against the spread of communism. The Vietnam war took place during the midst of the Cold War from 1954 to 1975. The United States didn't join the war until eleven years after the start of the war in 1965. This war was fought in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and South East A...

Should I Have the Right to Renovate my Own Building Without a Permit?

This is an action project or my core class A Nation's Argument. This unit was all about the constitution and its amendments. This led to some interesting conversations about which amendments are important and which aren't as important. For example, the third amendment has been ruled as not important because when would a soldier actually come and sleep in your own house. Another argument was how are these amendments related to the problems in the world today? which problems work against the amendments? In unit 1 we visited 1770 and talked about the thesis that "all men are created equal." In unit 2, we visited 1850 and talked about the antithesis of "all men are created equal." For this action project, I was tasked with finding a rule in the city municipal code that I believe is unjust. I chose the rule of needing a permit to renovate the inside of the building you own. "A building permit is required for now building construction, renovations, the inst...
