Folder contaning some of my work with Spanish in Mosaic. It was extrememly difficult to accomplish Spanish in a non-traditional setting until we found a way to combine it with AP Human Geography.

​
Make a Short Film!
We were given a day to make a short film - film, edit, sound design, etc. It could be about anything, but had to be at least one minuite. ​We created a satire on popular misconceptions of Mosaic.
​
Upcycling Project
One of the intro projects for this year was ​an upycling project, where we took a bunch of old items to make something new. We created a lamp out of an old oil lamp. Our original idea was to use a globe as the shade, but the project deadline was one day so we didn't have enough time.
​
Note: newer projects are at the botom
