Diversity in the News



Assignment/Activity Title— Diversity in the News  Year— Sophomore
Skill— Research, Spanish Portfolio Category— Social Awareness


The diversity in the news project was a very eye opening project for me. In this project, we were put into groups to research minorities and how they are portrayed in the media and in the news. My group was assigned Hispanics/Latinos. Most of my prior knowledge about Hispanic culture and stereotypes is from Spanish class; however, this assignment helped me to learn bit about their culture first hand by reading Spanish Newspapers. I found this project very informative and interesting while making me socially aware.

Harlem Webquest



Assignment/Activity Title— Harlem Webquest     Year—Freshman
Skill— Presentation, research      Portfolio Category— Social Awareness
During the Harlem webquest assignment I learned a lot of things about the Harlem Renaissance and the ideas surrounding it. During this project we were asked to search the internet to find out about the Harlem Renaissance. We had to find out about the history in general, the art/literature of the time, and the politics to create a brochure. We also had to read a poem in front of the class.
