Contemporary Themes
These are some examples of the projects that I have worked on with my Think Tank. We research and read Google Scholar articles to put together Prezis about our findings. The first Prezi was on a topic of our choice and the second Prezi is our Stand Up Against Bullying campaign.

There are quite a few things that I like about my contemporary themes class. I want to be straight to the point and get right into what I like and what I have learned. To start, the most valuable thing I have picked up in this class is my introduction to Prezi. I have never encountered such a beautiful presentation program. It is definitely something that I try to use in all my classes every chance I get, and I definitely like the incorporation of technology that I have never been exposed to in any of my other classes.
I also like using Weebly because I've always wanted to have my own website and I find that this exposure to technology is invaluable to my learning experience. One useful thing that I learned and I am still trying to learn is how to cite sources and articles properly and I am really trying to learn as many useful things before I get to college. My favorite thing about Contemporary Themes is the kinds of books I get to read. These books aren't just books I'm assigned to read, they are books that I am given the option to read and they are books that I actually enjoy reading. This class has proven to be a new and exciting experience in my high school career and has definitely paved a clear road to the library where I am constantly checking out books. |
