Political Studies
Julius Caesar
For this project we read the book Julius Caesar. It was mainly about how Julius Caesar got killed for no good reason. People assumed things he would do if he had power and killed him because of what they assumed he would do. For our final product we had to create a news paper article answering if Julius Caesars death was justified or not. My group members and I said that the killing was not justified because they had no actual reasons or prove that he was going to use his power for bad. They also just killed him based on their assumptions and not on actual facts.

Scratch Beginnings: Service Learning
For this project we read a book called Scratch Beginnings. It was about a guy who left his house to become homeless and prove that he could survive. It talks about his experience and everything that he went through. For our final product we had to volunteer somewhere and we also had to create a website for that organization. My group and I volunteered at the Sacramento food bank. I felt good volunteering because I was helping people that really needed it and they seemed very happy to be receiving the help.

Urban Plan
For this project we had to come up with a way to redevelop a city. We had to meet may goals like the profit for the developer and the city. Each person in the group had a different role and different goals that they had to meet with their role. This project was challenging because you really had to make sure that everyone was collaborating and that everyone knew what was going on. Everyone had to communicate with each other so that we had a good plan for the redevelopment. Collaboration was very important for this project because we needed to satisfy everyone's needs and any little change done to the plan affected every single one of the group members role. This project was challenging and stressful but I enjoyed it.
Big Brother and the Price of Freedom
For this project we read a book called Big Brother. It was about how the government/Big Brother had control over everything. We learned about how the book relates to us now and how the government is also monitoring us through the internet an our phones. For our final product we had to create either a video or a movie trailer for or against Big Brother. Me and my group decided to do a video against Big Brother.
Digital Citezenship
For this project we learned about how important it is to not post bad/negative things on social media sites. We learned about how you can get in trouble because of the stuff you post. The people that are going to hire you can look at all of you social media sites and they can see everything you post even if your profile is private. They can also see the things that you deleted. Some people post things to make them self look cool or to get peoples attention. Our final product was to create an animoto of our self.
