This is a power point I made in Anatomy class during my senior year. Our assignment was to choose a skin disorder and then make a power point to present to the class. I really enjoyed doing this project because it made me have to do research on something I didn't know. Personally, I enjoy doing projects like this more than I like taking a test because it makes it much easier and more enjoyable to learn. Learning skills like power power point will help students excel in later education. I also think it is important for students to learn good speaking skills, even if it does make you nervous. Having good communication skills is something everyone needs to excel in life.
This is a research paper I wrote for AP Literature during my senior year. This paper was assigned after we read Invisible Man. This essay required us to choose an influential African American writer during the Harlem Renaissance and research them and their writings. I chose this research paper because I feel like during my senior year my writing skills have greatly improved. It was challenging to interpret poems that were written by Wallace Thurman. This assignment taught me about a period in history that I had never learned about before. Research papers are a great way for teachers to prepare their students for college.
This is a DBQ essay I wrote for Government class during my senior year. Document based question (DBQ) essays are when you receive several documents and you must write an essay based on what you learned in the documents. This DBQ was about the judicial branch in government. Document based question essays can be very challenging, but they are a good learning tool. Some of the documents given were difficult to read which makes the essay hard to write. These essays make you learn how to be organized and read documents to help you write an essay. DBQ's are great preparation for college level courses.
This is a research paper I wrote for AP Literature during my senior year. I chose this research paper because I feel like during my senior year my writing skills have greatly improved. This paper was written after we read The Scarlet Letter and The Awakening. This paper required us to choose a topic in one of the books about gender. I did my research on feminism in The Scarlet Letter. This paper was really challenging for me because I had never done a literary analysis research paper before. Even though it was challenging it will help me when I get to college. While doing this research paper, I learned a lot about feminist qualities in literature. I also learned that Nathaniel Hawthorne was well before his time when it came to gender equality for women.
