Option 2: Communication

 

We used Word to document all of our notes. We put the links under each point. We used Audacity to record and edit our podcast. For communicating outside of school, we used Snapchat as we all had it, and was very efficient. It worked very nicely and everything was organized properly. It all turned out great!

A Mountain Journey

Posted on by
  1. Dave was out in the wilderness because he had 50 pounds of fur and was going to the market to sell it.
  2. He falls in ice-cold water and his hands get extremely cold. He talks about how much his shoulders hurt and he can’t feel his fingers and toes.
  3. He didn’t trust his instincts. He should have stayed under a tree for the night with fire to warm up but he didn’t and regrets it. He wasn’t prepared enough and did not bring enough food and water.

4.a. Dave is traveling through the mountain to return back so he can sell fur.

b.Dave fell into the river, making his clothes and matchsticks wet, so he can’t use them.

c.When Dave arrives at the cabin he was going to, he discovers it was burned down.

d.Dave decided to keep on traveling to a further cabin, even though he could have stopped to rest.

e.Dave sits in the snow to rest.

f.Dave starts to hallucinate.

g.Dave finally dies from hypothermia

 

5. Dave is on a mountain covered in snow which makes it extremely cold.

6. The cabin symbolizes warmth and comfort.

“That tree, like a strong and’ lonely woman, called to his weary body to stop. 92

“When he came out of the timber, the moon threw his shadow on the snow. 97

“Snow like a blanket covered his body and the wind blew snow against his face. 98

“Small dry twigs under a spruce tree would flame-like paper.” 96

 

 

 

Gender Equality Issues

Posted on by

The article I read is about gender inequality against the non-binary and transgender community. In America, the EEOC includes only male and female as gender options. This means that the EEOC cannot identify who is transgender and are not acknowledged and counted.

This affects anyone part of the non-binary community as they don’t fit into the male and female categories. It can be harmful to their mental health because, for some people, it could cause dysmorphia.

I choose this article because I feel that the LGBTQ community has been getting hate for a very long time and not a lot of people are educated on the topic. I don’t think it’s fair that we grew up being told “we can be anything we want to be” or “you can do anything” and when someone comes out as trans or non-binary, they get hate. They get told that they are doing it for attention when most of the time, they just don’t feel comfortable being called other pronouns or their feminine or masculine name.
