The Patch Post: Simulation Block

At George Wythe we periodically do simulations. This last one was very interesting as it was all online. The scenario was that basically everything except the western hemisphere running from south America to Canada was completely un inhabitable do to a nuclear fallout. We all were given surnames that we had to go by, and mine was Neva Sanchez. A roman catholic, Mexican who was very passionate about keeping her area secure and safe. We all meet in online classrooms, Elluminate was the program we used, to discuss what we should do. There was another group, group A, that was using the main stream media to project a plan of martial law, ect… and our job was to present a plan B. So that the people could see they had the choice, instead of being handed an ultimatum by power starved political leaders.

My group flooded the industry with video presentations, other groups did articles, some music, and we published it. This video is one that I personally directed with the help of Caleb Hatton, a movie genies, to show that you choose your ending, if it be pain and destruction, or hope and freedom. All in all, it was a very effective simulation, and we really put together some great plans and presentations.

The Patch Post: A day in the life

Just the other night I had some people over to play and watch some games, however, we ended up telling some scary stories, and I totally took the cake. There were maybe 10-15 people there, and I got every single one of them to jump, and most of them to scream. This brought back an experience that I had when I was scared to death, and I just so happened to have written it down to illustrate a definition essay I wrote in high school for my college composition class. Why is it that fear is something we are terrified to face, fun to make fun of, and even though we all individually have some form of fear, we are afraid to share our fears with others? I think fear is so incredibly interesting, but here is my story, and I hope you enjoy.

Fear, It's What Makes us Jump in the Night

The Patch Post: A day in the life

Oh wow! what a weekend! As a student ambassador for my school (Go George Wythe!) I had the opportunity to be a room host at the Thomas Jefferson Education Form. (I must say I had the best group!) It was a blast!!! I was in charge of the room with about 95 youth ages 13-15. The speakers were great, but the kids were the best, they were loud, amazing, and inspiring!
On a side note to this, one of my good friends here, drooped a sword (Yes, that's what I said..) on her foot. No stitches were required, and nothing major was hurt, but how often do you get to say your friend stabbed herself in the foot with a REAL SWORD?
Even though this weekend started with me being worn out, and ended the same, I'd have to say the dance was the best. The thing I really love about home schooled events, is that at the dances, everyone, and I mean everyone, knows how to dance!!! And boy, do we dance!
Alas, all good things must come to an end, the last dance must be danced, and school must be attend to. It was a fun weekend but now it's time to get back to work.

The Patch Post: Final Project

Introducing, OH! Our History International Project.
As school looms to and end, finals are just around the corner. My Mentor Barbara Tanner has given us the opportunity to create our own! It has several parts we have to include, but none the less it is our own to conduct, and OH! is what I have come up with.
For a few weeks I will be conducting, and conversing with some students from around the world. At the end of this we will be producing short stories, or other writings, we have written with our own illustrations.
I'm still in the beginning phase of getting this all together, but it should be an exciting final, so keep posted to see how this story is going to develop.
