For my Capstone Project, I collaborated with my partner, Ada, to transform the 4th-floor study room at SLA through a large-scale mural and an educational website. What began as a simple desire to leave a visual mark on our school evolved into a deep dive into Philadelphia’s environmental issues. Our project features a mural of the Philadelphia skyline integrated with the complete ecosystem of our local watershed, highlighting the fish and aquatic life that depend on clean city water. To ensure our project met the expectations for a duo-capstone, I also developed a website that provides data, history, and calls to action regarding watershed issues in our region. I chose this project because art has always been a primary way of communicating ideas, but I wanted my final act as sla to be more than just aesthetically pleasing. I wanted to create something permanent that improved the daily environment for my peers.

My notebook has helped me understand and remember information. My notebook also helps me expand and build on new ideas. In the future i hope to improve my notebook by using more organization strategies.

I created a short multi narrative story for my Q1 benchmark inspired by robin benway. My story is about a son and a single mom who are struggling to connect. they both face challenges, but along the way they figure out what it truly means to be a family. In my story you will notice all three of benways techniques, thoughtshot, snapshot, and dialogue, along with other important parts like dramatic irony and motifs.

This is my first project in english class. I hope you enjoyed my Me Magazine - onna richburg
