Dreaming of Me

In this unit for WAI, we learned about doubt and dreams. Dreaming is a way for our minds to process and organize information, thoughts, and emotions at the end of the day. When we sleep, the veil between our conscious and subconscious becomes thinner, allowing repressed feelings to take center stage. Dreams are not just funny, weird, or scary sideshows that keep our minds busy during the long night. Instead, dreams are messages from our subconscious, giving us guidance as to who we really are and how we feel.

Universal Set = {Fennec Fox}

Hello; I am SN. This is my first blog post for my Sophomore year. I am taking a class called Population. It has been incredibly fun and interesting. So far, we have learned about set theory, binomial nomenclature, taxonomy, and have read the book In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall over the summer. I am going to cover most of that in this AP (Action Project). For this Action Project, we had to choose an organism, identify its population, and highlight what makes the population unique. During our first FE (Field Experience), our STEAM teacher had us choose an organism at Lincoln Park Zoo. For this AP, I have chosen the fennec fox, a.k.a Vulpes zerda. You might ask, "What is a fennec fox? I will show you in this AP, along with everything else we studied thus far. The fennec fox is a small mammal that is from the Sahara of North Africa. It, naturally, lives in very hot and sandy climates. That would make sense because, according to the Lincoln Park Zoo website, it is said the fennec...

Writer's Toolbox: Short Story (Egg Stage to Butterfly Stage)

Egg Stage I wrote this piece in my house on a Sunday. It was calm and peaceful, just like all the other times I wrote a journal prompt. Then, I thought of how calm and peaceful my whole neighborhood was. It was around the time when the temperature started to drop this year, which gave me the realization of what my neighborhood had in common with itself throughout all seasons. I have always found my neighborhood to be calm and peaceful, so this is what I chose to write about. I used some descriptive language to help the reader capture the setting and what the surrounding scenery was like. Such as, "Fog is like a sheet that gets cast across all of Wilmette, covering up all sound." What you get from that sentence is that the fog is bigger than my neighborhood, and things are much quieter whenever it arrives. That is the power of descriptive language, you can tell what things are like without it being boring. The main theme of this piece is the fog. It is one thing that c...

Deserted

Welcome to my second Action Project blog for Population class. In this unit, we studied how species thrive in their natural habitats and how their special traits allow them to do so. A Field Experience to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum taught us about many different landscapes and the animals that live in them. The purpose of this AP was to discover if a certain species or organism could survive in a habitat different from it's own. The species I chose to study was the Chinese Water Dragon, also known by it's scientific name  Physignathus cocincinus. I, hypothetically, altered the Chinese Water Dragon's tropical Asian climate by drying it out. I made inferences about how this change would impact the species and how it would survive in this new climate. ---------------- Chinese Water Dragons are beautiful green lizards reminiscent iguanas, only smaller. They originate from the tropical environments of Asia, but can also be found at nearby pet stores around the...
