In this project we were put into groups and tasked with making a product that would inform people about food safety while selling healthy products to costumers. We did research on the topic of food safety and then came up with a mission statement that would go along with our product. We were going to sell our products at our local farmers market but we were stopped because we needed a permit to sell so we ended up not selling at the market. Instead we decided to sell our products here at High Tech High which was really cool because we got to tell the community about our products and shared some knowledge with them

In this project we had to choose a topic of our choice related to food and write a research paper and then create an infographic chart displaying the condensed version of our research paper with images. We did this project to inform ourselves as well as others about what we are doing to our would and whats going on with it. One of the most useful articles that I used was one by NASA which informed me on how climate change works and what can happen it it get out of hand but there was also another source that was really helpful it was the documentary (Time to Choose). My drafts got came a long way from not knowing what to write about to not finding things interesting and my research being bland and dry. But along came critique from fellow peers and that helped my a lot with my final product my first drafty was really bad the sentences didn't make sense because I didn't read them though and they were all over the place. With the critique I received I revised and remade my infographic along with finding more on my topic. I thought this project went really well and I was happy with the way my infographic came out and although there weren't many people the people that did stop by hopefully got a bit of insight on whats going on with climate change and how it affect us.

For this project we were tasked with creating a video on how to make a dish from a family recipe. This project was fun to do because it helped with my Spanish vocabulary a lot because even though I know a bit of Spanish it didn't mean my sentences would be perfect. I had a draft prior to this one but I count show my class because I did not upload it to YouTube so I had my sister and other family members critique it and give me feedback on how it was. This feedback helped a lot with my final draft of the cooking video because my sentences were more structured and I stuttered less in my final video. Looking back on this project I was really proud of my video because I completed it and it was better then I had anticipated it to be. This gave me insight on how much more difficult it would be if I hadn't known any Spanish because even though non native speakers could use notes it must of been hard to pronounce the words correctly. If I were to do this project again I would change my setting and turn down/remove the music because my lighting wasn't all that good and the music that I added although good was louder then my voice or I would raise my voice. One of the most surprising moments for me about this project is when we were watching it on the projector my music was extremely loud but when I went to I Movie it sounded perfectly fine so i was confused and didn't know how to combat this problem.

For this project we were given a country to do searcher on and then we were tasked with finding out how to solve a big problem that affect most if not all of the countries of the world. The problem was food safety and we used the research we did on our countries to join groups of countries that had the same objective as our own. One of the websites I used most was the Word Food Programme because it held a lot of information on my country's state what their problems were and how they were dealing with it. one important piece of information I learned though this website was that the country that I had was a really poor country that needed help and was crumbing but it still has a say in what it agrees and disagrees with. With the research that I did Writing a position paper was not as hard as it would of been if I hadn't done research first. Every bit of research I found was condensed in to the most important parts of what I needed to give everyone insight on how my country was doing and what they needed help with and what they could provide. I was most proud of standing up and being able to talk to everyone about the problems my country had but still being able to provide some sort of help to the other more developed countries. One thing I would do differently if we were to have this project again it would be to talk to my group more because although I spoke in front of everyone when it came time to join forces i was unable to speak because I didn't think I would be much help.
