I am a student at Science Leadership Academy (SLA), and in my English class I have been reading Hamlet. If you don't know what is about, Hamlet is a play by Shakespeare. It is a play full of intriguing crimes, love, cheating and lying. It is a very interesting book. The way we interpret the play has been a fun experience for my classmates and me. We have been doing skits of insults in Shakespeare language (this was before we started reading the book), we have also been taking quizzes on the passage that we had for homework that day. The quizzes consist on many different quotes from the Act and scene that was for homework. We have to translate that quote into modern language and explain the importance of each quote and how it is going to influence the play in the next act/scene. Also we have been watching important parts of the movie, to see how different directors choose to place the characters in their movies and to watch the way the actor reflected what Hamlet, the queen, Polonius etc. were feeling in the book.

I came to sla expecting an easy ride but Ive had to do alot of hardwork this year  . We have had to do several benchmarks for each class plus the normal work we get  .  The work has been fun , challangeing and suprisingly diffrent then what you would expect from  a school  .  I have also suprisngly done well this year  .  I realy like sla because of this unique leaning experience and I realy like the people here  . 

For my Ilp, I would like to exslore the wonders of Anthropolgy. Understnd what really goes on within the labs. Also be able to try to see what thier day is like

          this project was a very annoying group presentation on diffrent topics. me and the other group studying our topic combined and presented at a good level while i hid somewhat in the backround

we had a giant take home written test followed up by a graphing project. it was pretty annoying and hard too a point but i got it done

Here is my algebra benchark for quarter 3. I will upload the word document with the questions and my data.

For this Benchmark we had to make a brochure and a powerpoint about the city of Philadelphia and where we like to go.

This is my Q3 algebra benchmark. We had to create graphs based on what we want to be when we grow up and how much money they make. Thw purpose of this benchmark is to understand linear relationships, collect data, and analyze our findings. We had to find one set of data with positive correlation (as the x increases the y increases) and one set with negative correlation (as one variable increases, the other decreases). The attatchments below will give you more information:

This is my benchmark for Q3 Algerbra. its not as well done as i hoped it would be for i kinda put it off to the last minute and did not know it was as big as it was (i thought it was only one graph)

This is my English benchmark about my first time going to Guadeloupe.

Algerbra Benchmark 1

Here is the Spanish Benchmark for the first quarter. We had to speak answers from questions on a podcast.Here is the Document!: )

This project was about the fibonacci sequence and how it was important to math. The actual sequence is 0112358

You will be adding the two previous numbers to get the sum. The man who was responsible for this discovery, his name was Ledonardo Pirsia

Mr. Rochester had us teach a lesson about sequences and make a wiki page about it. You can  visit our wiki page here

For history our assigned benchmark was to make a keynote on Mali and Mansa Musa.

I researched the history, geography, religion, and salt and gold trade. For Mansa Musa i talked about his Hajj to Mecca and the effect of it.

If i could change one thing it would be MY time management. I had alot of time in class to work on it but i didn't use it wisely. I still finshed my project on time i just had to cram a lot of my research and that made me stress out.

We did a were assigned a sequence and had to make a presentation to teach other people in the class about it.

Here the site where we did all our work:

This benchmark was about the pascal's triangle. In this project we had to show the connection to different formulas, how to figure it out, and if theres a formula for it.

If I had to do this project agian I would like to find out how the tringle cam into existence and also to find if there's any shortcut's to get the answers. 

1) In the assignment, we had to plan and organize a dinner for king Tut. We had to do the invitation, the menu, the seating plan, the description of the ritual of the Pharoah will perform, and the press release.

2) I completed the part where you had to do a press release. Doing the press release I had to organize an announcement to tell the people of Egypt that the Pharoah was coming to their town for dinner. 

3) If I was to do this project again, I would make the font better and have more about the Pharoah. 

This quarter our class was focusing on making a good thesis statment and an interesting paper. We were assigned to make up a thesis statment about the book we were reading, The Odyssey. My theses was, People praise the god's not because of their personality traits or their physical characteristics, but because they fear they almost limitless power. I got a 90/100 on the assignment. If I were to do this project again, I would have managed my time better.

For our bio-chemistry class we were assigned to MAKE OUR OWN expierement for the becnhmark. Before making our own we did a run through step by step. After our first expierment went well the class felt comfortable of doing the expierement we were assigned in groups and to design and expierement to. my group and i decided we would do an  experiment to see the change of the CO2 output by using baking soda, Pepsi, yeast, water, and sugar. To see the changes of the CO2 output we used balloons. We waited to see if the balloons inflated or not. We would record all our data putting it together as a lab report. Our lab came out very well. i was pleased with our grade.

If i had to change anything on this lab i would plan a bit better and be more cautios. We had an excellent idea but we needed to check if all the materials would work efficently. another small problem we came across was brekaing the balloons and pouring some of the materials. we missed the beaker twice and roke the balloons a few times too. but after some good trys we got it and or lab came out splendid.

We studied three main pharo's of ancient Egypt and we were assigned to do a project on king Tut. We were to arrange a dinner goo enough to satisfy him. We worked in groups of four. I was assigned to create a realistic menu. I looked up what foods they had back in those times and put the rarest of them on the menu in order to impres him. If I were to do the project again, I would have been better on the deadlines. We got in the final project on time but we were a little behind on the small stuff.

Our first science project that we were assigned was "The History of Science" project. Mr. Best assigned us a group partner & a time period then we had to choose a scienctist from that time period & do a research poject. A Powerpoint or Word Doc to present to our class. My group partner was Kathrine we did our researh on Stephan Hawking.

Mckelly,Kourtney, and I did our algerbra benchmark on pascals triangle.

Yesterday in English we talkied about the book Kindred. We talked about the racism back in those days and how we coild make it better today.
