Contemporary Themes
In my first group project in Contemporary Themes, I worked on creating a think tank that research ways to make our society a better place. We chose to investigate the effects of problems in the environment on animals. We created a Prezi and a video that allows us to convey our message of creating a cleaner world for the all animals to live in. First, my group and I had to research articles online and find the ones that we can use. We read and interpreted the articles so that we are able to synthesize these articles together and put it together on the Prezi.
This assignment is meaningful to me because I realized that the animals that suffer do so because of the things we do. It is heartbreaking to learn stories of animals losing their homes and dying because of the things we take for granted, such as wasting a piece of paper that costs these animals the tree that was there home.
I learned from this project that the little things we do, the things that we don't think will have consequences, like not recycling, can have drastic impacts on the animals that don't deserve to suffer for our actions.

In this English think tank project, my group and I wanted to educate other students on the effect of bullying. We wanted other people to learn to bullying is happening everyday in schools, and we can do something about it. We made a Prezi and video that conveys our message of trying to stop bullying. First, we researched articles and found the ones we liked from Subtext and we read them. Later, we synthesized these articles into a Prezi and video.
This assignment is important because people should know the impacts of being bullied because many people do not understand how traumatic being a victim of bullying is. Many victims suffer mentally and physically at the hands of bullies and bystanders are not educated enough to know that they can make a difference in giving a helping hand to the victims of bullying.
I learned from this assignment that bullying not only affect the victims, but also the bullies. It can create long-term problems and make bullies prone to criminal activities or substance abuse. I also found out that many people do not tell adults because they believe that adults can not help them very well, which really surprised me.
