Model Senate Project
This project has definitely been one of my favorite projects in my time at Animas. I was placed on the EPW Committee that was focussed on bills regarding climate change. I was given the role of Senator Ted Cruz from Texas. He was a wonderful senator to do this as since he is currently one of the Republican candidates in the primaries for presidential elections, so he is almost always on TV and gives out speeches or shocking quotes almost daily. For exhibition we had a model senate. We gave speeches, amended bills, and passed bills. Several times on the senate floor things got fairly heated in the way of arguments. Overall I loved the entire experience.
My Co-Authored Bill:
My Speech for the Senate Floor on the Bill That We Voted on:
Video Reflection:
1st Semester Writing Goals and College Essay Reflection
4th Amendment Mini-Project
This project was geared to teach us about our rights and to give us a chance to tell others what their rights are. We were able to do this through either a visual piece or a video. My partner and I chose to use a video to teach other students what their rights are in school. This video shows what can happen to you in school and uses humor to help teach the audience.
The guidelines for this project made it easy for both my partner and me to connect to the video. My partner is interested in making videos and I am interested in acting. Because of this we were able to make a great video. We also enjoyed adding comedic elements to the video that made the project more entertaining for us and the audience. I have been interested in my rights for quite a while but hadn't ever thought about what could happen to me as a student so it was interesting to learn about what can happen at school.
