Week two went well for me. On Monday we went out and took photos and talked and read an article about the Great Depression. Tuesday we made key lights and played lab safety jeopardy. Wednesday we had a photography workshop on taking portraits and went out and took photos and did a writing piece based off the article about the Great Depression. Thursday we watched a documentary on the Dust Bowl and revised our writing from Wednesday. Friday we read an article about an immigration order from Trump and the poem The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus and from that make a t-shirt design. HumanitiesDo I think our society depends on "creating and maintaining a peon class"? Not particularly. What would we depend on them for? Certainly not money, unless by money, we mean funding, then yeah, I guess in a way we depend on the peon class. For example, schools depend on attendance for funding, but then again they depend on everyone's attendance. My question isn't how we would create a peon class, it's why we would. Why would we keep people from being able to provide for their families? Why would we deny them the ability to provide for their families? Are people that greedy? Do we really need to feel superior to someone else? So no, Ido not think that our society depends on "creating and maintaining a peon class". Although if someone has proof and a valid argument, they may convince me otherwise. ChemistryWhat do the following two equations teach you about chemistry?
1) AgNO3 + NaCl = NaNO3 + AgCl 2) AB + CD = CB + AD A=Ag= Silver B=NO3= Nitrate C=Na= Sodium D=Cl= Chlorine Whatever is in A's spot switches places with whatever is in C's spot.

This week was a whirlwind. We just switched our teachers and classes and had a four day week. Tuesday we started with talking and introductions, and then went out and took pictures. Wednesday we had a photography workshop and had to take pictures using the techniques that we had just learned. Thursday we learned about lab safety, photography ethics, and wrote about a picture taken in 1957. Friday we wrote more about the picture and considered different lenses or perspectives, and wrote through that perspective. HumanitiesThis photograph shows the "process" of desegregation. It gives us a peek into what the nine students enrolling into previously all white schools, quite possibly had to deal with day to day. Being yelled and probably was the ideal scenario. Yelling couldn't hurt you physically. Unfortunately, they probably endured much worse than yelling. People were very angry with the fact that the schools were going to be desegregated, as pictured behind one of the nine, Elizabeth Eckford, this woman looks to be furious. She is yelling and screaming, mos likely nothing nice about her. Elizabeth seems unbothered by all of the hate displayed around her,this was probably something she dealt with often, most likely less violent than some of the things she dealt with. No one in this photo looks to be happy, although only one of them is angry, or showing their angry. Everyone else's faces are blank or talking to someone else. There is one person though, whom could be perceived as sad, Elizabeth. Her facial expression is giving off a sad sort of look. Her being sad could be understandable, being yelled at and all, but in my opinion I'd think she would be happy. She's making history. ChemistryNotify the teacher and others around you immediately if a spill occurs.
