Senior Project Day 4

 Thursday was another amazing day of senior project. I started off the day attending intro to literature, then went to athletes and lit after lunch which was the final class of the day. With only two classes on the day this was a more chill day where I was able to do other activities. I went to woodworking second block to continue my table, and after the last block I went to the library to work on the infographic I'm using as an example for the banned book project. After the day I was pumped to attend the Bruins game with a few buddies pictured below. This was game 6 of the series so the garden was bumping with energy and excitement. The game ended with a 5-2 Bruins win and we were able to enjoy the big city which was a nice change of scenery from Andover.

Week 2 Reflection

Image
Hours Mon: 6 Tues: 6 Wed: 3 Thur: 4 Fri: 6 Total for entire project: 45 Week two of senior project was filled with a lot of laughs and work. This week was the week of the play, so, I had to balance school work with time at the meeting house. A few kids on the baseball team were in the musical, Shrek, so it was all very fun. In the classroom, this week was mostly finishing up with final projects and wrapping up previous work. I became more comfortable with the kids I didn't know prior to being a TA and was able to help more people because of that. Below are a few end of term comments by students that I think are perfect to note.  "I honestly had many "eureka" moments this year, ( I had to look up this word FYI ) anyways, when it comes to satisfaction of discovering something, there were many, but when it came to this class in particular, I found myself having these moments in the reading of " Salt Water Buddha ". these moments were mostly found when I was re...

Senior Project Day 13

Today was a more relaxed day of classes as we started of with intro to lit. The class had the task to print and laminate their infographics to give to the bookstore. Although surprisingly nobody has the ability to print, we got them printed, cut out and laminated. The second block was the other athletes block which had the treat of going to warner to drop the infographics off and stops at Dunks. I spent the time in between finishing up my table in woodworking. At the end of the day, Cassidy, Ellie, Mel, and I went out to dinner which was an absolute blast. What a way to cap off senior project! Today Total Hours: 6

Senior Project Day 8

Tuesday started with first block culture and conflict, as we met in the dining hall to kick start our mornings. The class is small enough so that we fit at one table, which is ideal for conversation. A warm cup of coffee and a little breakfast slowly transitioned into a discussion of each of the banned books they had been reading. Everybody shared their own opinion of their book, whether they thought it should be banned, and whether or not they think it should be taught at Proctor. It seemed as though most of these books were banned for explicit vocabulary and graphic scenes, that most teenagers are already exposed to. We got into the discussion of whether or not banning these books is justified in the sense that it allows parents to filter what their kids see. We started grappling with the fact that social media and phones expose the same stuff. After this class another C&C Block followed, and Athletes and Lit was after that, where I presented my college essay and the final projec...
