Rhetoric Speech

    This Action Project is all about demonstrating rhetoric and how it can be used in different situations. For this Action Project, I will be demonstrating rhetoric through a speech that I am writing for Margaret Croke. Margaret Croke is a progressive activist who is running for the Illinois house of representatives to represent the 12th District of Chicago. During this Unit, we have learned about parts of rhetoric like, Pathos, Logos, Ethos, and rhetorical devices. In the video I have posted below, I am reading the speech I have written for Margaret Croke. I have used Pathos, Logos, and Ethos to give my speech more effectiveness. The speech is about what Margaret Croke will do for the lower income communities of Chicago and how will she help them thrive.

    I want to be able to change the neighborhood by supporting local businesses and creating new ones. I want to be able to provide jobs for the people living in the community. If we can support local businesses then they can grow and give the neighborhood more opportunities to thrive. For example, when a Jewel-Osco was built in Woodlawn, it created so many opportunities to thrive. I have a quote from Chicago Business.

    It says: “The store became a symbol of the neighborhood's comeback, bringing fresh produce and other healthy food options to a South Side “food desert,” providing 200-plus jobs and generating momentum for a broader community-development push in the neighborhood.” Woodlawn was described as a “food desert” and yet they were able to take that title and throw it away. The Jewel Osco has also given over 200 jobs. I want to read you another short paragraph from Sunshine Gospel. It says: For the first time in 40 years.  . . read that again. . . for the first time in 40 years there is a mainline grocery store in Woodlawn. “This is a proud moment for Jewel-Osco,” said Doug Cygan, President of Jewel-Osco. “This new location underscores our commitment to providing good jobs, fresh produce and other essentials in order to help enhance a community.”

     If Woodlawn, the “food desert” can come back from after 40 years of having nothing as big as Jewel Osco, then the 12th district should definitely be able to thrive, and I believe that I can make that happen.

Cardboard Camera?

 This is an Action Project for my core class Light, Sound, and Time. During this Unit, we learned all about light and how it works. We also learned about how light is a part of the visible spectrum. This is a spectrum that shows the types of waves/rays that are on earth. The visible spectrum is also how we see colors. This has also helped us better understand what light is and how we use it to take pictures. For example, when you take a picture using a camera, light is used to leave a image captured onto a surface. For this project, I was tasked with making a camera from a tissue box. The camera I made is called a Camera Obscura. This camera takes light and through a little hole pastes the image onto a piece of parchment paper inside of the camera. As you can see below, those photos were taken from inside the camera when held up to a light. It also shows what the camera looks like and how it turned how after creating it.

What is a Hysterectomy?

Welcome to my blog. This is an Action Project for my core class Cure. In this unit, we have been at home talking about cells, what they are, and what they are made up of. We have also taken the time to look at different types of surgeries. Also, we had two special FE guests join us through Zoom and teach us about themselves and what they know to help us get a clearer understanding. The two guests who joined us were Dr. Neeraj Jain and Kellee Athens. For this assignment, we were tasked with interviewing someone who has had any surgery performed on them. For the interview, I chose to interview someone about the surgery they had done. The surgery that was performed was a Hysterectomy which is the removal of the uterus. I have put together a slideshow below explaining all of the risk factors, side effects, and much more detail on how the surgery is performed. "No dietary restrictions. I was super groggy and just slept a lot. I was in the hospital for 1 or 2 days. It took me a week to ...

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...
