Sandra Watson Capstone

Posted by Sandra Watson in Capstone · Giorgio/Shagin · Wed on Friday, May 11, 2018 at 12:43 am
Capstone_ Hope This Helps
​For my capstone project, I explored multiple genres of creative writing. For the first part of the year, I wrote a small play where I collaborated with the students of Science Leadership Academy to come up with a performance even though we didn't get to the performance, the students of Science Leadership Academy helped me better understand playwriting and the work that goes into it. It also helped me build a small community within SLA  that helped me better understand the genre of playwriting. In the middle of the year, I researched monologues where I wrote several monologues as a response to a tv show 13 reasons why. The end of the year I created a poetry book called Hope this helps which also is my final product. I went through numerous genres of creative writing and it was a hard long and stressful process because when it comes learning about different creative styles, you need to know that it will require a lot of your time. Even though exploring different creative writing styles was a little difficult and time-consuming. I learned a lot about myself and the genres. I learned that playwriting isn't just writing its visualizing, and monologues aren't just stories their personalities and poetry isn't just symbolism, it's a story. 

Capstone can be found in the multimedia section

This source provides information about how a director can set up rehearsals for them to effective. This source also provides information about things directors should do during rehearsals to create a safe open space for the cast. I selected this source because it is important that I know how to set up rehearsals for my play to be effective. and because the more information the better I can make the experience. I found this source useful because it helped me fill in the blanks of what I was missing. One limitation is that the source didn't go into details and was very general with information.

This source provides information about play format and also specifics about stage directions and stage description format. I selected this source because when writing a play it is important to have the correct typing so every one i cast can follow. I found this source useful because it helped me put my play in correct family. The limitation was that it didn't have authors connected and it seemed a bit random

. “How to Format Your Script.” Playwrights' Center, 16 Nov. 2017, pwcenter.org/playwriting-toolkit/how-format-your-script.

 This source I personally think is amazing because it doesn't just go into the format of the play but goes into how to word things so that your cast will understand what tone it is in your play. This source also provides a lot of in tone, format, how to write descriptions and correct punctuations. The source doesn't really have any limitations because it is so detailed and helped me correct the smaller stuff in my play.

This source provides information about story development and how you can further push the story and goes through a step to step process how you can go from a strong beginning to strong end.

This source provides information about how to format stage directions because stage directions are important. Letting your cast know when they are supposed to exit and enter can make a strong impact in your play. I chose this source because I want my stage directions to be clear and concise and I knew the best way was to research a place that knew how to do that best.. I found this source very useful because unlike the other sources it just focused on stage directions ,speech directions and cues, and location spots. I didn't know there were so many ways to do stage directions and so this helped get me a better idea of how to tell people where to go. The only limitation of this source is that it didn't give great examples.

EDUCATE YOURSELF

Posted by Sandra Watson in Creative Writing · Giknis · x2 Band on Friday, May 12, 2017 at 11:58 pm
 I believe “Without Education you’re not going anywhere in this world”  a quote stated by Malcolm X.  When I was a child and even still now as a young lady I learned that   education was the key to success. My father told me  that I could be anything I wanted to be if I stayed in school and put my mind to it. In school I would be educated in history, math,science, and english and at home I would learn about my culture, learn about how to be a lady and how to carry myself. I believe we were put on this earth to learn and not just in school but outside of school too,because education does not stop at the limits of a text book. Education is a never ending rainbow of things to be learned and mastered.Even after you mastered it, it doesn't mean that there isn’t another part of it you didn’t know about because that’s how education works. In this world today we are not going very far because people have turned to nothing but quotes from friends instead of looking things up and researching and talking to people who know about the subject. We have stop educating ourselves. We have stopped asking questions and let someone else answer for us , a person who knows nothing. We have become lazy and that is when progression stops because learning has become a backseat to opinions.Education is important to you and society and we let that slowly slip away because education is no longer more important than instagram likes and no longer more important than how many retweets you get. I believe that education needs to once again take a million steps forward because without it we are a sinking society. I don’t think one day that  everyone will be education but I do believe it takes one step at a time and one person needs to start learning and than teaching other people to learn and ask questions and it will start a ripple effect. The word education is slowly drifting down a river of lost definitions because we forgot how to define and while some people are  very good at defining it, it just isn’t enough. It isn’t enough people to educating themselves and not enough people stepping up to the plate to teach others because we have become so reliant on everyone else that our brains no longer have to think their becoming rusting machines and  the only oil that can help them is a book. The only only that can help us an ignorant society is the  willingness to break boundaries and go outside of ourselves to learn new things. We have become so  into not learning and if we do than just learning about ourselves that we have forgotten that their is a world out there we don’t know  about. I believe that Education has to come back to being the linebacker because all we have are towel boys or girls . Without Education the world is nothing, we are nothing, you are nothing, I am nothing because learning is the key to surviving.

Advanced Essay #4:The Set Up

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on Thursday, March 23, 2017 at 1:51 pm

The Set Up


We say we want to help the children, educate them, give them experiences, and help them live out their dreams but  it seems that this saying pertains to some children and not all. We give suburban children a better education. We give them more opportunities, we provide them with a clean school with the best teachers around and give them activities after school to occupy their time and don’t give the same to the children in public schools that are in impoverished  neighborhoods. We then ask why one  set of children are exceeding while the other set barely even touches approaching expectations. Wealthy people love to send their kids to private and suburban schools because of the quality of the education that they get. Also,because the parents are comfortable with the feeling that nothing will happen to their kid due to  the low rate of violence in a suburban school than a public school in the hood but why don’t the parents in the impoverished neighborhoods deserve that same type of comfort? Children aren’t made to be violent, they are taught to be, and what better place to be taught then the school system.


Malcolm X once said “Education is the passport to the future,for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” The children in suburban schools have the opportunities, the teachers,the tutors, the activities, and the money to prepare for their bright futures. From birth they are told that they are worth something and their schools resemble this. Children in the hood, in predominately black neighborhoods are not taught that they are worth just as much as the suburban kid in school and you see this because the tools they should of been given to prepare for tomorrow are lacking or not there at all.These kids have been stripped of oppurtunities and given nothing to occupy their time. They have no knowledge to use or a trombone practice to go to because their schools can’t afford it so they occupy their time and feed their boredom with things they learn from tv  because social media has become their only real teacher.Violence has become a problem for kids in impoverished neighborhoods because no one is investing in their futures. Government officials are investing in  their jail cells not their classrooms and ask why these kids have given up. They have given up because no one is showing interest in making them have a profitable future and the only future people are worried about giving them is the one they can profit off of, so the children take comfort in their fist,hands,and guns.


Children in urban schools rather than suburban schools are more accessible to guns,drugs,and knives then a text book. There is more funding for weapons in black neighborhoods than for a good school education. In an article created by LockLip news and stated by an ex Chicago gang member he’s seen government officials dropping guns in their neighborhoods for years. He says, “I’m telling you right now, they’ve been dropping the guns off in crates for years, and I’ve seen it twice in my lifetime. I saw it in 1990 and again in 1999.” It might be astounding to hear that the government would actually do this but it’s not that hard to believe. If the government would rig children’s school education to build jail cells for them,then they would need to give something and a reason for them to go to jail. In a lot of Urban schools they have metal detectors, pat downs, and security guards that act like police.Children in these schools are getting use to this lifestyle and violence is the only thing they know, so there's no way for them to get out of it.


In conclusion, if you want the rate of violence to go down in urban schools then you must stop providing them with the motives to be violent and provide them with the motives to be successful. You must fund their schools with the same funding you give suburban schools to give them a fair advantage. We must treat them like students and not prisoners. You must stop teaching them that their only choice is behind bars.If you give them a well funded quality education and occupy their time with activities that will help t guide them to their dream careers, then you can finally watch the rate of violence in their communities go down.

Sandra Watson Podcast

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on Friday, February 17, 2017 at 12:32 pm
My goals for this project was to create a meaningful podcast about the misconception of house work and people who work in the home. I deleted those misconceptions by talking to mom who has been a house wife or her words a domestic engineer all her life. The thing I stuggled with in making this podcast was trimming and uploading. i learned that making a podcast isn't easy and getting your person to warm up and make it sound like a regular conversation is quite hard but in this process I learned  how to make compelling questions and how to  take major ideas and themes from simple conversations that  could lead to much bigger things

Advanced Essay #3:The Hide and Seek of Race

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 9:32 pm

Intro: My central question in my essay is How does society and the way they teach race and culture affect the knowledge of a person's racial identity ?,In my essay I tried to incorporate  experiences of not just me but students and youth as a whole and how they are affected by my essential question because I believe youth are definitely affected by it. I also tried to incorporate a lot of the quotes I found as evidence to prove my thesis to be true. I think that I did pretty well explaining such a complex topic and getting  the reader to understand the importance of the issue.


Essay:

 In every grade from kindergarten to 12th we have history as one of our main subjects. School systems have the mindset that  the curriculum they teach for this subject is suitable for all of their students. They know  that they are instilling false knowledge about American History  and neglecting their duties to help each and every child  find their own racial identity.School systems are letting the stereotypes and  misconceptions the media portrays about race teach their children and in return students are amplifying their ignorance in schools,work,at home if they don’t have the proper support  in their household  to correct their wrong information, social situations, and even more. Students who  are not taught correctly about their racial identity and aware  and informed about  other racial identities are the ones who usually end up becoming the stereotype or using their incorrect information to be little other races. If school systems cut common misconceptions and stereotypes about racial identity at the roots they’ll be no room for ignorance to grow.


The way school systems teach students about their  racial identity has gotten so out of control that it is starting to  affect the way students perceive themselves and how much effort they put into their school work .In school now a days  how well you study or how much attention you pay in class is no longer the measure of how successful you’ll be in a subject but  the color of your skin.  In an article  recently written by Heidi W.Durrow  she explained how even though she was Dominican the results she had in math decided she didn’t fit in with being Dominican but another race. “I learned that because of the peculiar way that math and race work together in America, I was black.”. The quote is a perfect example how the school system is helping to categorize races in a stereotypical way which is taking away from the  actual learning experience of the students. It is also striping them away and confusing them about their  real racial identity and leading students to believe false information about a race.


Students should  be trying to learn about their racial identity and history  without the fear of being already categorized  before they even get to show off their skills in the classroom. Without the students even getting to the point of being aware of their own racial identity, the school system does a good job of indirectly applying definitions to the social,economical, and political meanings of race. Angela Willing states ““Unlike race and racial identity, the social, political and economic meanings of race, or rather belonging to particular racial groups, have not been fluid.”  Students especially in the  12th grade and under are trying  find out their self identity and how that ties in with their racial identity but how can they, when society is already crafting the definition for them. This makes it much more confusing for students trying to find the truth about their racial identity and even makes them more vulnerable to believing stereotypes and misconceptions the media feeds them.


 It is not practical to ask the school system to teach about every single race in the world, it just isn’t possible especially in one school year. It is way too  much information and history to investigate and research but it is practical to want the school system to teach about  a wide range of different races that don’t all come from the same region. It is essential that the school system dives deeper into racial identity and eliminates misconceptions about different races. This will lower the rates of ignorance that has already spread so vastly across our country. Also  helping students find their racial identities early in life might make finding their self identity a lot easier.Students shouldn’t have to be unfortable in their own skin. Students should not have to be afraid to be who they are. The  students race should not determine  how well they do in school.The student should not be limited in their education because of their complexion. Skin color does not define the student, the student defines her or himself.

Advanced Essay #2:The Art of Language

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 2:29 pm

                                           Introduction

 This essay helped me develop a better writer. My goals for this essay was to show that language isn’t just Spanish and English. I wanted to show that their are more pieces to it . I wanted  for my audience to be able to connect these pieces through my essay and understand the bigger picture of language and why we need. Need. My goal was to be able to connect my experiences to a major theme and I think i succeeded. I’m proud that i was able to make an essay that people from all over can relate too, no matter your age,gender, or race. It’s a universal thing. The thing i could improve on though would be just making it a bit more in detail .

                                             

                                          

                 The Art of Language

 Literacy comes in all shapes and forms from political literacy, to media literacy to even visual literacy but the one literacy  that we all have in common even when we don’t know what it is, is cultural literacy. Cultural literacy “is the knowledge of one’s culture” stated by the website digital Is. There are a lot of things that surround culture from the music you play, to the clothes you wear, to the food you eat but overall language is one of the most important because language is the way you communicate with the culture. It’s the way connect within in your culture A lot of people think language is just Spanish,English,Chinese,French, Vietnamese, Italian, and so much more but truthfully language is so much more than that. You could be speaking the same language but not the same language at all. Let me explain clearly what I mean. If you speak  modern english and I speak old english, we may be both speaking English but not the same language. When I was about ten years old I actually had my very first experience with cultural literacy.


 I hadn’t seen my niece, Destiny  in a long time. I only got to see  her every 3 years ,maybe and I know a lot has changed since then. I packed so much stuff that day, unnecessary stuff. I was only going to be at her house for a weekend but I packed like I was going to be there for  two weeks.My mom unpacked some of the clothes and gave me the stuff that was actually nessary. “Take a jacket” my mom said. I  looked at my mom “Why? It’s summer” . My mom gave me a look back “Because I said so. It’s going to rain. Now take the jacket. If you don’t need it then don’t wear it.”  She said as she walked out of the room. I put my jacket inside of my bag and soon as I did I I heard the doorbell ring. She’s here I said in my head then out loud. My mom came down the steps with me . I said Hi to Destiny and her mom. My mom and hers had a little chat before we left. We were off to quakertown. This was my very first time ever going to quakertown but i thought it be fun. When we arrived the very first thing I noticed was all the snow and i’m not  talking about actual snow. I was wondering if there were any black people?I never seen so much white people in my life but I wasn’t closed to making some white friends. My elementary school  had been with all African American students so I was looking for some diversity. Most of the day we spent watching disney movies, eating chinese food, and walking across the train tracks. It was slow but i was having a bit of fun. When nightfall came i thought  we were going to play games in the house and relax since it was 10 o'clock at night but my niece Destiny had other plans. Her and I were going to go see her friends. We left out without her saying really anything to her mom but we will be back. We went behind this shed where she met her group of friends who were smoking weed. They were a wild group of kids who all basically did whatever they want when they wanted but  that  was really none of my business if they listened to their parents or not but things got weird when i tried to talk to them and make some friends.  “Wassup?” I said to one of the white girls. “Hi she said.”  flipping her blonde hair. I tried to start conversation. “U always lived here or nah?” I was bad at it at 13 but it was my attempt. She stared at me for a while before she actually spoke “I don’t understand what you are talking about?”  she said.  “I’m  saying have you always lived quakertown.” I said rolling my eyes. She laughed with her friends. “Oh yeah” she answered.  “That’s cool I lived in Philly my whole life, that jawn sorta poppin” I said awkwardly laughing. She looked at her friends once more as if i was speaking another language or something but to them i probably was. “Why do you talk like that?” she asked. “Talk like what?” I answered. “Like a gangster” she said. I didn’t know how to respond so I didn’t At this point I  honestly thought she was trying to be racist and maybe she was  but without the knowledge I have now I wouldn’t have ever thought that maybe we just weren't speaking the same language.


 Language will always be crucial to cultural literacy, it makes up most  of the definition and whether we like it or not when we step into diverse situations we experience what it feels like and without  speaking the same language we won’t be able to understand what each other is saying. If we can’t understand what people are saying then we can’t connect  as humans and as humans we long to connect with another person that’s why Language is so important.  Language bonds us together , Language   helps make us a culture. Language is beautiful. A quote in How to tame a wild tongue reminds us of  this  it states “Who is to say that robbing a  people of their language is less violent than War? “Pg (53) Ray Gwyn. My response is  that it’s not.  If you rob a group of people of their language then you rob them of their culture.

Let It Go by Sandra Watson

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on Friday, September 23, 2016 at 1:36 pm

One Christmas morning I sat on the edge of my bed kicking and swinging my feet back and forth. “Cover your eyes” She said. I placed one hand in front of each eye, trying to peek through my small hands. “NO! Don’t you dare peak” she yelled. I sighed and closed my eyes. My little anxious body was uncomfortably moving. All I could think is what could it be? The room was still for a moment, darkness filled under my eyelids and the only thing you could hear was the shuffling of feet from the other room. After minutes of impatiently waiting. She entered the room and placed an object down that made a loud thud.I opened my eyes to see my mom standing in the doorway and my dad with a camera in his hands, recording every moment of the big reveal. My sister was standing behind the big box that had been perfectly wrapped with Santa Claus Christmas paper. “Are you going to open it?” she asked with a smile. It was a box slightly bigger than me at the time. So I had to stand on my toes to reach the top.

 I started to unwrap the wrapping paper slowly because even then and  still now I loved the anticipation of opening a present. I peeled back the wrapping paper  strip by strip, tearing the clean tucked wrapping paper into many small pieces. “Come on, Sandra, open it already, Do you need help?” my sister barked. I shook my head fiercely no as I opened up the last shreds of paper. My dad grabbed the last pieces of wrapping paper to put into a big black trash bag. I stood there in astonishment to see a big pink cinderella vanity set in front of me. “Open it!,Open the box mom!” I yelled in joy “ Thank you so much.” I hugged my sister tightly as she hugged me back,kissing my forehead. Then I heard a loud thud from above, i woke up to see my dog Trixie on the floor spread out because she just fell off the bed. I look to see that it’s not Christmas morning and I’m not six anymore. I look around to see their is no vanity set and the picture of my sister is still sitting on my dresser and realize  she is no longer with us and tears fill my eyes. I can’t go back to sleep anymore. The memory was way too strong for me to handle. So instead I listen to music. Music that lets me drift away from those memories as I look at the picture on my wall  and get lost into the grey and whiteness of it all. 

Holding on to the past has always been a speciality of mine whether it was good or bad, something about holding on to the past helps me gain a little more power on my life. This probably is how most people feel and a big reason why a lot of people don’t let go of their past . It can be looked through many different perspectives which can shine a light on why holding onto your past can be a good thing and why it can be a bad thing. Holding onto your past can cripple your chances of having a good future but it can also help guide you so you don’t make the same mistakes you made in your past in your future. Is learning from your past the same thing as holding on to it? Is holding onto your past more of a yearning to go back and change what already was or is it letting yourself dwell on something that already happened? Is letting go asking you to forget your past or telling you to move into future? Letting go is something we personally define for ourselves but all us must build up on a general idea of what it is before we can actually do it.

All of us has had either someone or ourselves do something or say something that has affected us in a good or bad way. This something that has happened to us in the past can either had been dealt with and processed in a healthy or unhealthy way. It all depends on our personal processing but those who deal with these things unhealthy are more bound to not to let it go.People who hold onto the past are the people who are dwelling in a moment that can not be changed. They are simply replaying the event over and over not just not in their heads but in their day to day life. When people can’t let the past go they tend to usually apply the good or bad things into their daily lives because if you can’t let go of the past you’ll probably repeat it . We can’t relive the pas7t we bring the our past into the future. It’s a coping method, even though change is relevant to all of our lives not everyone can handle it. Moving into the future is not a task it’s a mission.

Letting go is not asking you to give up your memories or your past, far from it. It is asking you not to focus on it forever. Remembering and learning from your past so that you can transition into the next state of your life is what letting go is asking you to do.You can’t be in one place and want to go to another and not move a step. You’ll remain in that same place until you go. Now time will move on without you weather you like it or not. You can’t stop time but stopping your life is easy because you just stop living it. Living in one moment forever will literally stop you from living life. You’ll be too invested into that moment that you won’t realize the wonderful things you’re missing out on. Moving into the future means to continue with time,letting life take its course without trying to change or alter it to go back. Moving into the future means seizing opportunities to make to progress and be at your best. Moving into the future and defining what that looks like for you is up you but defining how you remember your past in a healthy way is also up to you.

You have to find and define what that means for you, what moving into the future and remembering the past is to you. No one else can define this for you because well all operate, think,breath, and move in different ways. There are the basic steps on how to let go but to make them your goals and make it something you actually want to do you must make it personal because your past and future is personal. How do you make it personal to you? How do you define what letting go means to you? You must define it, first by setting goals for yourself. Aiming to change the ways of your past day by day. Breaking bad habits and finding healthy ones to replace them with. Surround yourself with people who support you, know your struggle and are happy to help you go through it. It has been time for you to you to let go of your past and move into your future. A pause or a break is for vacations not your past.

The Unstoppable War

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 2 - Pahomov - A on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at 4:00 pm

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding  many boys are stranded on an island by themselves with no help or guidance from adults. They started off pretty well with a nice structured system so that things wouldn’t get chaotic. They elected an official or ruler named Ralph to watch over the group and lead them in simple tasks like making fires, hunting, and solving tough situations that they faced. As time went along a boy named Jack who was leading the hunters at the time wanted Ralph’s power and wanted to be ruler of all of the boys on the island. Jack was so obsessed with power that he would go to any length to get it. Finally because of all of the tension and confusion on who to follow, Jack or Ralph. The island boys split into groups. One group  followed Ralph and most of the others following Jack. This division amongst the boys took a turn for the worst when Jack took a boy's named Piggy’s glasses to build a fire. This turned into a full on scale war between both groups. The  boys are so young but because society has such a connection to war when power is threatened , it was the boy's natural response to start a war to keep their share. If you have ever heard of the saying monkey see, monkey do then you’ll know it applies here because if the boys had seen adults solve their problems more efficiently and communicated better then maybe the boys would be more likely to copy the behavior but because war and fighting are so common the wrong just seemed to be right.

The book Lord of the Flies is a perfect representation of society’s natural response of creating war when power or some one’s right are being are in danger of being taken away.



There are many different types of wars that happen, world wars, civil wars, and even self conflicting wars, but the war I think best connects to the book is the American Civil war. The American Civil war took place on April 12, 1861 and ended May 9. 1865. The war was between the north and the south, the south wanted to survive and they wanted their independence.This makes a very large connection to the book lord of the Flies, because the United states of America and the boys on the island were supposed to be unified. They let differences break them instead of coming to a common ground, which blew up in both their faces. It seems that when they were suppose to be closer than ever, they wanted to be farther apart. Our society’s alway says that violence is bad and there's a saying that “Violence is never the answer. But you can see by the past that all we seem to know. We don’t know how to effectively communicate. We are a spoiled society when we can’t have what we want we take it instead.



There are some benefits to war and some downsides to war but when there’s good, bad comes afterwards.In war, each side always has a target, something they're trying to get at whetherits land, power, just to take them out, or because someone is trying to stop them from achieving something but with this comes a price of people's lives. Societies see nothing but their goal in this transition of war. We get binded to the simple facts that war creates sometimes a much bigger problem and when we get to see this problem we settle it with another war. ome type of society’s natural instinct is to fight when a conflict approaches. This is why the boys on the island acted as they did because on tv, in magazines, in newspapers, social medias, and talking amongst adults, war was and is bound to come up. The boys were only doing what they saw in these areas, acting on society’s natural instinct. Could they have deferred this feeling? Not likely because the society you live in has a major part in developing who you are so when society says go to war when their is  major issue, that’s exactly what you do .



In Conclusion was war has always been prevalent in the past, present, and will be in the future.  As you could see in many of my other examples in the other paragraphs that war has come in many different types and styles but there is no way of avoiding it as long as different types of people live on the planet.  For society war is essential because we have to force or take what we want because conversation is a foreign language to society.

Theater ILP

Posted by Sandra Watson in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 3:02 pm
My Theater Ilp I have enjoyed so much. My teacher has taught me many different acting techniques that I will be use forever and into my career of screen writing in the future. I have also many friends with different backgrounds and unique personalities. We performed  a piece last month that we had been creating  over several months on the school district and how student,teachers. and principals feel in it. It didn't have a lot of speaking in it but  no words could describe  our message so we made pictures with our bodies and used music and lighting influence our story, our message. It was a great experience to be able to perform at the Philadelphia theater Company, Suzanne Roberts Theater in front of different schools and in front of our parents. We also got to see the ideas of other schools . It was an amazing experience and some thing i will never forget.

Theater ILP

Posted by Sandra Watson in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Giorgio - Wed on Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 2:47 pm
​My ILP this month has been working on creating a piece for the Theater Philadelphia Company. We have been focusing on going behind the school district and going into the minds of students and teachers and in between. We have also been discussing the topic of what would you fight for even if you knew you were going to loose and connecting it to the school district theme. We are having a show in Tuesday at 6:00 p.m and just going over Tech on Monday at 1. I have enjoyed creating this piece because it expresses how student feel and give the students a voice they never get to have . I like it because it represent all of the different voices instead of one.

Just One More Time

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 2 - Pahomov - A on Sunday, November 22, 2015 at 8:12 pm
I love you Wait,.. Wait... Please just give me a second.… I just want hold you .. Let me be yours again, .. No don’t go …I’m Sorry, I just want to talk , don’t go please. Just take a seat with me.. all I want to do is talk,that’s all nothing more. I just want to know how you’ve been, I miss you. I really do. I’m not lying. I’m a little hurt that you think I would lie about missing you. I care about you. You’ve been out so much lately, it’s like you completely forgot about me. I’m sorry if I was so controlling before. Sorry if I yelled at you. Sorry if I hurt your feelings and pulled you away from things that use to be important to you, I didn't mean to , it was just that I was afraid of loosing you, like I am now. I thought we would be soul mates, we would spend until death do us part together. but I guess you had other plans. I’m not here to make you feel bad about leaving me behind. That’s the exact opposite reason why I am here. I’m here because I want you back. Please don’t say anything yet. Don’t say it’s too late until you heard what I had to say. (sigh) Remember when you called me at your friend’s house because her sleepover was crazy boring, when you told her you had to go home early and I was there outside the house waiting for you. You were so happy to see me. the twinkle in your eye, the smile on my face, to see you so happy made me ecstatic. Man would I kill to see that smile on your face again because now your smile when you see me looks like a frown. I know that’s part of my fault but it does not have to be that way. I could make you smile like that again, if you gave me the chance. Please just let me finish. After that we took a stroll through the park and danced near that big fountain under the moon. You said it was the best time you ever had.Have you had any times like that since we broke up? Exactly. You won’t. I’m the reason you had good times like that. I gave you that sense of freedom and don’t tell me I didn’t because you told me that I did. That I made you feel amazing when I was around. Did I not? So why not come back to me? I could make you feel that way again. I could do so much more this time, I promise. It won’t be like the last time when , I mean if you come back. No, of course I’m not counting on it but it would be nice if you did. I said I was sorry. I didn’t mean to turn you against your mother. I just wanted you to myself more often and she was getting in the way. No, I didn’t mean that. Wait, please don’t leave me. I’m not done, you know that’s not what I mean at all. She didn’t get in the way. I liked your mom a lot, it’s that she didn’t like me. She kept saying I was going to hurt you pretty bad one day, and we both know that’s not true. Remember, she wanted you to stop seeing me and you were actually starting to listen. It was heart breaking, to see you pick sides. You didn’t even try to compromise. I’m in love with you and I thought you were in love with me. You never showed it. You would leave me all the time to be with your friends after school. You didn’t even think about me. I called night after night but you started to stop answering . You stopped all together after that one incident. I didn’t mean for it to get that bad. I really didn’t . I wish it had never gone that far. I tried to see you in the hospital but they said family only. I’m sorry. Do you forgive me?(small laugh) I knew you would. Being cigarette and all gives me the gift of being pretty persuasive. Actor: Imani Williams

The Masterpiece Called Language

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 2 - Pahomov - A on Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 8:04 pm

“Hey,wassup wit you?” I say eating my lunch.

“Nuthin much tryna finish up some of dis homework.” Kimberly says sitting across from me says. “True. aight. Imma let you do yah homework. Imma hop outta dis joint and catch you later.”

I say as I walk away from Kimberly.  When I talk to my friends I use a lot of slang and I don’t usually sound a lot of my words out but this is because I see no need to. I am comfortable in the way I speak to my friends because I know that no one will correct me and I also know that they also speak that way to me as I speak to them. Then again, I am much more comfortable and laid back with them. I don’t have to censor my words. I speak a language my parent’s don’t understand, it’s teen. Teen is more like a laid back tone with words that we've made up just to make school feel a little more at home.

  At home I usually sound a lot of words out and use complete sentences because my parents want me to speak proper so that I can learn to use both slang and correct english because both  can come in handy.I also speak more proper at home because my parents don’t understand most of the Philly terms I use, especially because they are both from New York. So I don’t really have a choice or they just wouldn’t understand a word that I say. In meetings and professional events I use correct english and try my best to use complete thoughts. I change my language or the way I speak based on location,gender,age,sometimes race,personality and the event.

The location I am in is  a very significant influence in the way I speak. If I am in a classroom setting I don’t use profanity and when speaking to a teacher I don’t use slang. The reason is because even though I am in a classroom with other teens, it’s out of respect for the adults that surround me and also because it's a learning space so a lot of my language is going to contain what I am learning about and is going to have a formal tone.

  Tone for me is a big part of language. Tone is a language of it’s own because it expresses the way I feel  toward you even if it’s just a mutual tone. Anger,sadness,happiness, and interest, changing it depending on the situation and the person I am dealing with . The tone of someone’s voice can let you know how they feel in that moment and where their mind might be. In language you say a lot but like mom says “ it not what you say it’s how you say it”

“Hey sweetie” my mom says, shuffling the papers on her lap.


“Hey mom” I say walking in the door placing my bookbag on the floor.

“How was your day?”

“ It was great actually. My friends and I were laughing and joking. Throwing shots and bidding on one another it was great.” I say sitting in the chair.

“ That’s great to hear but don’t sit in the chair, you have to clean your room.”

“I will.” I say upsetly

“ Get up out the chair and clean the room now. No if’s , no but’s. “ my mom says looking directly at. me”


“Okay... Can you give me one second? I just wanted you to tell you about my day. Nevermind. “ I walk out the room.

“Watch your tone with me , clean your room, matter of fact you can clean the basement too. Enjoy yourself.” my mom calls out.

 Even though it’s a conversation of  my mom and I bickering, it changes mood and tone. Language becomes more intense and my word usage changes. I don’t know why this happens, it just does. If I had to take a wild guess though it’s because of what I learned from my parents when I was young. If they crossed their arms, raised their voice. To me, I would say, I am just repeating the tones of my parents. The language that they have and made for their own selves. Than I just add my own touch onto their words to make them my own. Making your language fit to who you are is important. You change the way you say words and definitions of them based on knowledge and experience. Even though we repeat the tone and language from our parents and copy some from our peers, it’s  our language. We constantly change it to fit who we  are ,from saying “ that jawn” to “that thing” or to saying the name of the actual object are the choices we make to form bits and pieces of who we are.

Our language changes when we change. When there is a change ,we shift our words to  what feels more comfortable with our surrounding we try to fit in. In all of this shifting , there is a language we prefer the most. A language that makes us feel more like us, that compliments our identity. My language with my best friends feels more real to me because I am in my comfort zone. I don’t have to shift for anyone even though all the language I use is real. Something about being with my friends make it more so. Most likely because I would probably speak that way a lot if it was an option. Every language is real. There are many differences and changes in the way we speak but it’s how we survive and connect in the world. From tone, to syllables, to accent, its language. There is no right or wrong language because the diversity is what makes language so beautiful.

Theater ILP Post #2

Posted by Sandra Watson in Advisory Sophomore - Giorgio - adv on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 4:01 pm
This month my for my Ilp we are going to go see a play called disgraced. Before we get there, my Ilp instructor had us read a scene from the play which was very interesting . It makes me excited to actually see the play. We also have been  focusing on the skill of making our own bodies into props. We are getting the feel for  the space on stage . ILp has been very interesting and fun.  I am looking foward to see our skills that we learn in full effect.

ILP Theater Month 1

Posted by Sandra Watson in Advisory Sophomore - Giorgio - adv on Thursday, October 15, 2015 at 7:52 pm
I have started my ILP at Theater in the drama room. It takes place from 1;30pm-3:30pm. This was my first call this Wednesday. It's not like what I expected at, it was much more fun than I had pictured in my mind . I always like to jump right in and do skits but our teacher was more interested in teaching us the basics that we needed to get to those points and i'm glad she did, even though some of it was just review for me from last year, when I took a drama class in freshman year. It helped a lot for it to refresh my memory and it was a whole lot of fun collaborating with the people in the class because they were all very friendly to me.  The entire class time went well , also when we were given a small  task to put together small peices based on the material we just learned, it was slightly easy because of the guidance our teacher gave us and the enthusiastic group members.

    In the future I am looking foward to making all this new  people friends, also looking forward to seeing the rest of the classes and how they play out . I think that the thing I'm most excited about seeing is the play we are going to go see in November.

 During Research I wish i would have found more cases where speaking out and the negative term snitching was being brought up so that I could feed off of those cases and make some thing out of it. I also  wish I  could of found so much more on kids and teens and this topic maybe not just  pre  teens but teens  and older teens and maybe young adults. It would of made it better so that i could all this stuff in tough comparison . I also  wish that my research could of actually more so helped me  create my presentations because I  had to do much more original research because online research was very limited because of the  small importance  people think of the topic or the ignorance level in society .
 

   My original Research went very well actually . i interviewed  people in SLA , the freshman in red stream . They were very cooperative . They helped me a lot because they all had different opinions . A lot of people would of wanted a more narrow view because it was less work but for me honestly the more opinions the better because  everyone is an individual and it helped me get a view on what the middle school I presented for might think . So it helped in my presentation before hand . It also went well because  I had my father to talk to who was a case manager that dealt without a lot of people on the streets that had this vision it helped me also tell people the root so I had gotten so much out of  making my own research for my project since their was very little out their .  

  I did get the impact I hoped for mostly . i wish I could probably had a much more bigger impact I think on the community as whole but I think that it is going to take one step at a time .  i also think that i made a impact by bring such a unique topic to the table . i think that I got people to think about their actions and what they say and do for my agent of change so I think it was very useful . I  made this impact by a simple presentation to a middle school and discussing , playing games , and reflection on my topic . I think that they got a real feel for what i was talking about . I made them also connect my topic to personal experiences to make it feel more real , so i think i made an impact on kids who will grow in a genration who is no longer ignorant on the topic and can teach it to future generations .

unchain the Voice Blog Post 3

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 1 - Giknis - A on Monday, June 1, 2015 at 9:29 pm
​For my  Agent Of Change , I did a presentation for 7th and 8th graders at Cornerstone Christian Academy. I spent lots of time preparing  for the presentation . I made sure that I included everything from my first blog post, to research .. to real life applications , and activities. I believed my Agent Of Change was great and fit my topic to the best of abilities because it the message was specifically targeted towards them . Also  i got two differnt outcomes from the grades. The 8th graders had more a narrow range that the negative term snitvhing was actually a term they used against each other to get them not to speak . Whe i had a potion for them to share out they laughed at some one's experience. So it just  shows how  un educated they were about the topic. I believe the 7th graders did a much greater job with it than 8th grade. I wish i would of done 6 grade too because it seemed like the younger the grade the more input they had and more of an open mind to the topic . I think as i did in my research and interviews that experience can corrupt the mind. It also helps get influeced by other people . The younger the mind the more vunerable it is to information .  My project was on the difference of snitching and speaking out . A lot of kids do not know what it is because they are uneducated on the topic but no one will teach tme because it seems irrelavent in the communities but it is very relavent because what happens is people are teaching kids not to tell the truth and not to speak up . So the brain becomes more corrupt when it does not know which way to go . 

I did not know these things before my final presentation at my old school . I only had a narrow way of thinking . I actually just did research on the computer but no website will hit exactly the root of the problem is . there is no website that describes how this topic tears friends, families, and communities apart. It is time to act now before it corrupts society as a whole . 

I liked my topic very much . It was very important to me because of personal experience and it was very unique but   there were other topics I would want to hit on even though this one was very interesting . i fi had picked another topic, I think that i could of made a bigger impact. This was a big impact but not as big as i wanted it to be . If I had to do this project all over again , I would do a different topic and make sure all my check points were in on time . I would also take many of the pictures on my phone so I would not have to wait or miss pictures because people forgot or did not do as I asked for the pictures. i belive it came out well though as a Semi- organized piroject. I do not think I will continue my  being an agent in this topic but maybe another , one that i could stick to or maybe not one but many. I will be an agent of change forever.

Unchain The Voice #2

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 1 - Giknis - A on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at 9:08 am
In my first blog post, I talked about how you unchain your voice and the difference between snitching and speaking out . I addressed how the term snitching comes along and how it makes people feel. Through the research I made in the first blog post, I went though the steps  to snitching, to speaking out, to understand how to actually doing it.

Since my first blog post, I have come over very interesting research. I was planning to do a survey.  I made the survey about 10 questions sent it out to about 30 people. I got one response. After the response, my survey stopped letting people submit. I did not know why. I thought maybe it was just a tech problem and tried to fix it but it did not work, so I had to take another approach. I did small interviews, I spoke to multiple people in red stream about snitching. Everyone mostly had the same opinion. Everyone thought that snitching and speaking out had been mixed up in their minds. Snitching to them is not okay but speaking out was okay. This was interesting to me that they actually often got the two mixed while speaking and asked me multiple times to stop the recorder just so they could actually think about the question they were answering. I think one out of the 6 or 7 people I interviewed actually had a lot of knowledge on the difference. This shows the lack of awareness these kids have on the issue and that no one has brought it up as an issue. Some kids did not want to learn more about it, ome kids wanted to hear more. The kids that did not want to learn more about the topic were the people who knew less about it which I found very interesting.


A rapper was interviewed on YouTube about 2 years ago, and he talked about his experience in prison and snitching. He said that ¨The problem is now that to many people snitch, if people kept their mouths closed than it would be no problem,¨ is this how we are supposed to think. Snitching is to benefit others. It gives them justice that not suppose to be deserved. Gossiping, snitching, speaking out are all different, but why do people around us get to decide which one is which. People do not think that snitching is cool. Snitching is equivalent to calling some one a rat, snake, etc. It is not some thing you want to be called but is it our right to desire this for some one else. In my research, I also found out that criminals and teens are the main targeted ones to the term snitching, Prisons are actually where the term originated from. Quoted from a psychiatrist, and case manager Robert Watson. So how did teens get the term? Just like generations people pass it on. Adults pass their knowledge on to us and if their education is correct, then so is ours. I found this out when interviewing these teens in red stream. Some of their information was incorrect but maybe it was from personal experience or maybe it was just from  their peers lack of education on the issue.

Unchain the Voice

Posted by Sandra Watson in English 1 - Giknis - A on Friday, April 24, 2015 at 11:39 pm

  In our English class we were given a project call Passion,Information Change : You and the world. In this project we become people called the agents of change . We  focus on an issue in the world we would like to change and than we go out into the world and try to change it   in the best we know possible .  The issue I am focusing on is “The difference between Snitching and Speaking out “. My project is called  “Unchain the voice”. When you hear this , the first thing that might come to your mind is bullying, speaking up  and out . Well it is, some of the way. Not totally though .   It is more about how to define the terms for ourselves and use them in positive instead of negative ways .  Snitching is a negative term that only in riches criminals. “ - Robert Watson  Speaking out  is a term that brings justice  to others and even yourself .  I choose this topic because  people have  bent the definition so many times that I believe people have forgotten the true meanings.  We need to be educated about it and be ready for when the time comes to identify it .    Identify it may be easy once you practice it but acting on it is going to be the difficult part.



 The issue we face   is all over the world . We see it in schools and on the street and in jails and prisons the most . Snitching is to keep from justice happening . For example , you see one  your best friend push a kid to the floor but you say nothing . You chain your voice up because that is your best friend . Why don’t you say anything ? Why don’t you get help? What are you afraid of?  I can explain , the consequences that follow up with the voice that is unchained. You lose respect but why ?  This is why I want to educate young people about the issue before it gets to out of control .  Keeping a secret for a friend ,,,, to witnessing or hearing something that can cause harm to yourself or someone else is wrong. It is time to unchain the voices .  We unchain by finding one key at a time .





Fig 1: This is our  voices when we   speak out to help others or ourselves . This is when  we use our voices for the right cause. We don’t just free the voice but our own selves from restraint . We speak out . We do not snitch  . Snitch is only a negative term that empowers those who do not have the power to bring justice on themselves .





fig 2 : symbolizes the rhyme. Snitches get stiches . A lot of people probably thought it was a stupid rhyme to probably keep you  quiet from telling the truth .  The rhyme did have some truth to it though . Much truth probably  . The consequences of bringing someone to justice may not always be  always sometimes physical  depends on your situation and your surroundings . The consequences in high  school or a lower school may be that you get left out , labeled a snitch , and you might lose friends. So why do it ? What if you don’t do it . Consequences will come in all types and forms but only leaders can  handle the pressure of speaking out not snitching speaking out .  So will you lead or will you follow for someone else to suffer the consequence of you saying nothing at all.







figure 3: We spoke about all the things before .  Breaking the chain and the consequences for it  but just think about your reward. Just reach out your hands up and say I can use my voice. You have to believe before you can actually do it .  You will earn a good reputation for being accountable .  Speak out and finally be free.




At this point I wonder about people responses and what they think about snitching and speaking out. I wonder if this issue even crossed their mind or did they even think this was an issue at all . I wonder if people will agree and try to stop or fight against what I am saying because of past experiences,  I want to know if an unchained voice to them is better chained.

Net neutrality


Net neutrality is when all data is produced equally to every person. Net neutrality has keep the internet together and has proved itself efficient in the years passed but some people think otherwise. The net neutrality  word that was created by Tim Wu has been tested by the FCC. The FCC is Federal Communication Commission . The FCC show what content is shown or being produced over tv, , and radio. They decide what is art or totally wholesome to be shown for other people. The Fcc over the years have worked their way into the internet and decided that NO Net Neutrality would be a better way to go for everyone or just them ?



In February the FCC and Tom Wheeler  will be having a meeting on what new rules they want to consider or make for NEt neutrality. This has been a topic that has been circling in media and schools for quite a while now .   NEw rules might new internet service for all of us .    The FCC decides that we should no longer have net neutrality we might all get slower content based on what we pay for and may lose important information which is highly wrong but we do not get a say so in what internet privileges we get even though we are the ones paying for it .


In conclusion we all should agree that net neutrality is good for our whole society. Net neutrality affects no one but all of us. The FCC should stop meddling into the internet and stick to covering content on  the tv, radio . NO one should be treated less than because of their financial income. We fought for equality so lets stay Equal .

Sandra's slide

Posted by Sandra Watson in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - b2 on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at 12:49 pm
I changed the color and the spacing in my slide. I made a bright blue to contrast from the black and white setting because some one told me making a color pop would draw the eye even more. I also moved the picture farther to the right so it looks more like you see farther into the actual picture.

My internet service provider is Verizon and my mom pays $1,800 a year for it. The network comes through my parents bed room through a co ax cable that is connected to a modem/router. The devices that are connected to that is 3 phones, 2 laptops,tv, kindle fire, and a ipod. I learned how to find out my own home networks and if it it comes to be I will know other people's too if they need my help finding what theirs is. I would tell people that their home network is a serious of devises connected to bring in internet for you to enjoy.
