Tower Gardening

Posted by Jason Perez in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on
The Tower Gardening project was a fun and cool experience for me. I enojyed having my own plants to grow, and the whole process of basically gardening was fun. I did not know anything about Tower Gardening before doing this project, so it was interesting to learn about it.

The gardening was a little bit of a tedious process. It took some time for our plants to begin to grow which was a little frustrating. One observation that I personally made was that out of all the plants, the lettuce was the fastest to grow. It seemed like everyone had their own little shrubs of lettuce. Another observation that I made was that the peppers take the longest to grow. It was frustrating for my group because our three other plants were growing except for the peppers. We began to question ourselves if we made a mistake or had done something wrong while planting the seeds. But when we began to look at other groups' peppers, theirs were not growing either. Just today we finally began to see a little green sprouting.

After doing this project, I feel like I have learned more about the environment. I learned how tower gardening can have a positive impact on our environment and is a good way to make a difference in our community by tower gardening. It's not hard at all, and it makes me want to tower garden myself.

Littering PSA

Posted by Jason Perez in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on
Me, and my group decided to research and create a PSA on the littering issue in the city of Philadelphia. The reason we chose this topic is because we believe that litter is the biggest issue concerning the environment in Philadelphia. 

The most meaningful part of doing this project to me is the fact that I am making a difference in my community by creating a PSA and raising awareness about environmental justice. It feels good to have done something relevant that concerns all of us and our very lives. Maybe I could inspire somebody who watches my video to re-evaluate themselves and treat the environment and the community around them better.

I am proud of myself and my group. I am proud of what I contributed to the group and also what my group did and contributed. I just wished I could have fixed some minor errors in our video and and more pieces to improve our video because I do believe there is room for improvement and it can be better. 

I hope everyone enjoys our video!

Standing With Standing Rock! #NoDAPL

Posted by Jason Perez in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on

The North Dakota pipeline is a planned underground oil pipeline project in North Western United States. The pipeline is going to be 1,172 miles long and run through four different states being North and South Dakota along with Iowa and Illinois. As of November 26, 2016, the pipeline was reported to be 87% completed.

There has been great controversy surrounding the pipeline project. Many question if the pipeline is even necessary to begin with. As well as the potential negative impact that the pipeline can have on the environment. Many worry about safety about the natural resources and endangered species surrounding the area of the pipeline. If the pipeline breaks and has a leakage then this can have substantially bad impacts on air, water, wildlife and farming in the area.

The biggest controversy relating to the pipeline are the protest going on from Native American groups and tribes in the construction area of the pipeline but mainly in Standing Rock; which lies on the border of north and south Dakota. Mainly the Meskwaki and Sioux tribes have been protesting and speaking out about the pipeline. The pipeline runs through sacred grounds of Native American tribes, specifically Standing Rock which is a native american reservation.

Social media frankly has played a big role during the protest of the pipeline. Protests are constantly featured on the news. Numerous grassroot movements like hashtags have been created but the most notable one being the #NoDAPL to help raise awareness. Social media has help bring much more attention to the pipeline project as well as the protest and raise awareness about our environment and ensuring it’s safety.

Comedy Cartoon

Posted by Jason Perez in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - C1 on
My project is an animated skit I created by myself about two teens playing basketball. When it comes to what I learned I think that I did not learn anything there was no confusion or struggles. The hardest part of the project was coming up with a story to create. I think the whole project was fun because I was able to and do whatever I wanted create what I wanted to and it was cool. If U were to do this again I would come up with a better story and make it more interesting because my story has room for improvement.

Eulogy (Skull/Mask)

Posted by Jason Perez in SPANISH 2 - Moran - D on

Jason Perez


Mi cráneo es para mi primo. Lo he hecho porque mi primo le gusta púrpura y azul. A ella le gustar flores. Puse flores en él .


  1. Short Reflection


a. The person who passed away that i am representing is my Cousin (female) on my father’s side.

b. What this person meant to me was my little cousin. She was very young when she passed. She was 2 years old when she passed away 2 years ago from a terrible disease. All of my cousins are older then me and i don’t even have a relationship with most of them. I don’t have a relationship with anyone in my family outside my immediate family. That bothers me, so having a new cousin was a great opportunity for me to finally build a relationship with one of my family members and have a cousin where i can have fun and talk to. However that didn’t turn out, so i guess i can say that what this person meant to me was a new friend.

c. The reason i decided to do a sugar skull in his remembrance was because i thought it would be creative and different. I didn't want to do anything average or ”tacky”. Also, i thought it would be cool to do a sugar skull because the skull is made up of sugar obviously and my little cousin loved candy.

d. My sugar skull reflects my cousin because i designed it with features of things she liked. If you look at my skull you would notice that there is kind of a flower design around the eye socket. I did that because she loved playing with flowers and i also colored it purple with some blue lining because those were her favorite colors. .What better way to represent my lost loved one with one of the things she liked the most.

e. The way “día de los muertos” has opened my mind up to celebrating the passing of our loved ones is how different cultures and religions honor their lost. Me personally, my family just say a prayer and we eat and cook our lost ones favorite foods. It is actually cool how other races and cultures instead of mourning their lost ones they celebrate and honor. Overall. learning about “día de los muertos” has opened my mind up to different ways of celebrating my lost ones. From now on maybe i wont be sad that my cousin isn't around. This holiday has also opened my mind up to think that we should all be happy for a chance to live everyday and enjoy our days, because my cousin only had two years to live with a disease and i have had 15 long healthy years. So, that is one of the major things i take away from learning about this holiday and it opening my mind up.

 Pablo Neruda nació en Parra, Región del Maule, Chile el 12 de julio de 1904. Su madre murió                                                                               

dos meses después de que nació. Tenía un hermano y una hermana. Estudió en la Universidad de

Chile y fue en la guerra civil española. Neruda era un diplomático y escritor. Se fue a un montón

de América y países de habla hispana. Hay una investigación en marcha, ver si su muerte en

 1973 fue un asesinato.






  1. Escribe (mínimo) ocho oraciones completas en español sobre tu vida personal o académica, tu éxito...






Mi nombre es Jason Pérez. Vivo en Filadelfia. Nací en el hospital santo Christopher. Mi casa está

en el norte de Filadelfia y vivo con mi madre y dos hermanos. Asistí a dos escuelas intermedias.

Actualmente voy a la Ciencia Academia de Liderazgo, donde soy un estudiante promedio C. Mis

clases favoritas son Historia y Español. Juego al fútbol para los cohetes sla.







  1. Incluye un poema escrito de la/el poeta en español:


Ebrio de trementina y largos besos,

estival, el velero de las rosas dirijo,

torcido hacia la muerte del delgado día,

cimentado en el sólido frenesí marino.


Pálido y amarrado a mi agua devorante

cruzo en el agrio olor del clima descubierto,

aún vestido de gris y sonidos amargos,

y una cimera triste de abandonada espuma.


Voy, duro de pasiones, montado en mi ola única,

lunar, solar, ardiente y frío, repentino,

dormido en la garganta de las afortunadas

islas blancas y dulces como caderas frescas.


Tiembla en la noche húmeda mi vestido de besos

locamente cargado de eléctricas gestiones,

de modo heroico dividido en sueños

y embriagadoras rosas practicándose en mí.


Aguas arriba, en medio de las olas externas,

tu paralelo cuerpo se sujeta en mis brazos

como un pez infinitamente pegado a mi alma

rápido y lento en la energía subceleste.


  1. Escribe (mínimo) ocho oraciones completas en español del poema. ¿Cuales son tus reflexiones del poema? Los temas?


Creo que el poema es de sí mismo teniendo relaciones sexuales con su amante después de que

ambos se emborrachan. O acerca de tener sexo con una mujer después de que ella se

emborracha. Se mete en detalles profundos. Hablar de cómo se sentía, tanto física como

mentalmente. Él usa la naturaleza para describir el placer y la sensación de que se está

poniendo al tener relaciones sexuales. Lo cual es muy creativo ya que la naturaleza es hermosa.







  1. Escribe tu versión del poema en español. Necesita (mínimo) diez oraciones completas en español.


Nos bebemos y bebemos y bebemos. Hasta que nuestros cuerpos son débiles. Nos reunimos para hacer uno. Ignoramos los ruidos que nos rodean. Nos sentimos como si estuviéramos en un campo de hierba abierta con sol llover sobre nosotros. Como estamos muy lejos de los animales problemáticos. Nuestras manos se ejecutan en sí. Ella aúlla a la luna. Y la luz se ha quedado atascado entre nuestros cuerpos. Y a medida que termina el día en que el ruido se hace en silencio. Sólo estamos principio. Apenas estamos más fuerte.















How To Write Code For HTML

Posted by Jason Perez in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - C1 on
When we were assigned this project, students were suppose to pick an area of software or hardware in technology and explore the area we choose and teach ourselves about it. I decided that i wanted to learn how to write code and i choose to learn how to write HTML and code used for creating websites. The purpose of this project was for me to teach myself and learn the basics of writing HTML which is also what i hoped to have learned.

What i learned about HTML is that it is the most common code used for writing websites. I learned about how HTML is used to make the structure of a webpage and the functions used. I learned all of this on a coding website called "codeacademy.com". I feel as though the project was successful. I learned what i wanted to learn, however i could have learned more i just chose not too. A big part of my success on this project was code academy teaching me easily how to understand and write HTML. It didn't make things seem so complicated rather easy.

An example of what i learned was the p function. This is used to write paragraphs and put them on a webpage. Similar to the h1 function which is used for headings and sub titles.

Oral History- Jason Perez

Posted by Jason Perez in African American History - Roy - A on

Abstract

Me, Jason Perez interviewer's my grandmother Candice on racial discrimination, the civil rights movement, race and racism of course, and the role race plays in our old and new society.

While you are listening to the interview and reading the transcription. You will find out and realize some good points made and well answered questions along with well asked questions. Basically what me and my interviewee talked about was racial discrimination and how has people’s view on race has changed and also the role race has played over the course of the last 50-60 years. I asked my interviewee questions like “has she ever faced or overcome racial discrimination, has her view on race changed and how race and racism affects or old and new society.” She answered the questions very well telling me things like “she has never faced or overcome racial discrimination, how she thinks that we all have come a long way with being racist and racism, even though we are not 100% and how racism and race still plays a big role in our society.” We mainly focused on discrimination and racism itself.


Research Portion

One topic i picked from the interview was when me and my interviewee talked about life after the civil rights movement. Now my interviewee did not remember too much about life after the civil rights movement mainly because she was only 11. But since i did not receive much information on that question i asked that’s why i decided to pick this topic and research it. Now according to the link http://www.usm.edu/crdp/html/cd/impact.htm after reading it, it basically says that the civil rights movement in missisipi had it’s good causes and it’s bad effects. How many people have lost their lives, homes, family and jobs but now no longer were blacks denied the right to vote, to eat, shop, and swim where they pleased, and more importantly, to attend integrated schools. It also mentions other things like how African American Charles Young, elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1978, is a former civil rights activist and how Mrs. Julia Holmes, one of the Meridian activists, thought that the movement brought a number of positive changes to Mississippi and american more then bad.

  • I used other links like http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h2876.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post%E2%80%93Civil_Rights_era_in_African-American_history but the fir

    Transcription

    Jason: hello, good afternoon, beautiful outside, how are you feeling today


    Grandma-im fine how are you


    Jason-im doing good, thank you for asking


    Grandma-you're welcome


    Jason-let’s talk about what we came here to discuss


    Grandma-what kind of questions do you have for me today


    Jason-i would just like to talk about racial discrimination and your view on race itself. we are just going to talk about on your perspective on things overall


    Grandma-okay let’s start!


    Jason-first question. what kind of experiences did you have with racial discrimination


    Grandma-well i really don’t remember too much of going through anything personally.  the only thing i remember when i was middle school i attended a school that was located in a predominantly white neighborhood. which is now known as fishtown. i remember we had to walk to the 15th trolley stop on east girard avenue. there would be teachers standing at the stop to make sure that we would get on the trolley safely.


    Jason-why would the teachers wait for you to get on safely?


    Grandma-because the majority of the kids that went to the school were puerto rican and african american. Being that we were in a white neighborhood the faculty wanted to assure our safety from the neighborhood kids.


    Jason-what do you think would have happen to you guys if there were no supervision from adults to assure your safety.


    Grandma-the neighborhood kids would have probably jumped us and chase us all the way until we passed to the west side of girard avenue.



    Jason-Okay. So what do you remember about the iconic members of the “Civil Rights Movement”. For instance, people like martin luther king, rosa parks, and malcolm x.


    Grandma-I don't remember much about rosa parks. only what i learned in school. i remember that i was only six when she was arrested. but back then i never understood what he meaning of that was and why was it a big deal. I remember Martin Luther King. With civil rights and his walks and marches for civil rights and freedom. i remember he was a vocal point in the news media. I knew martin luther king was as big as life back then and was one of the most important people in america during that time.


    Jason- That was a very good explanation


    Grandma- Thank you


    Jason- In your personal opinion how do you believe people’s view on race has changed.


    Grandma- Well it’s been a struggle there are still narrow minded people have come a long way in becoming more diverse i still think there are still problems with racism in our society. But not as intense as it was back in the 60’d and 70’s.


    Jason- You talked about how race has changed in a positive way but it’s not 100%. So what role does race play in our society TODAY?


    Grandma- Well like i said it’s not 100%. Today i believe now the minorities have more opportunities. Mainly because of our iconic members of the  civil rights movements. It is what they fought for. I think there is still racism and always will be.


    Jason- Do you believe we are discriminated today?


    Grandma- My personal opinion in the work world, discrimination isn’t what it used to be. but in people in general. i do think that there will always be discrimination. Mainly because of their beliefs. I think it’s still.


    Jason- I  have never overcome or come across racial discrimination. Have you.


    Grandma- No. Not really. I honestly can’t say. As a child i was sheltered. My parents kept me inside. My parents kept me inside because of these reasons. Because of segregation and racial discrimination. I was sheltered. Although slavery was not nearly as much bad here as much as it was down the south. There was racism and discrimination though.


    Jason- Have people ever been racist to you?


    Grandma- No. I’ve never been discriminated against or called names or anything.


    Jason- Have you ever been a racist


    Grandma- No. I would never.


    Jason- Since you live almost 13 years during the civil rights movement. How were things when the civil rights movement ended in 1960?


    Grandma- Well i was only 12. As i have stated i knew what was going on but i was still a little too young to understand or comprehend. I only remembered big things like my own personal experiences. I've never been discriminated against.


    Jason- So you don’t remember anything?


    Grandma- Well remember everything i talked about. Jobs were easier to get, education was better im guessing. From my personal experience it was the same. But there was still racial discrimination and segregation and racism of course. It just wasn’t as bad before the 60’s. Even though we are still racist today it is definitely not as bad as it was back in the 60’s and before then.


    Jason-Have your relatives ever come over racial discrimination?


    Grandma-My sister has. Her husband is african american. They were leaving north philadelphia to live in northeast philadelphia. they were having problems because they were an interracial couple. All of his offers were being declined so he wounded up paying their offer because they wouldn’t let him bargain for anything.


    Jason- Thank you for your time ma’am i really appreciate you taking time out of your day to let me interview you.


    Grandma- You're very much welcome.


    Jason- You're welcome. Have a nice day.


    Grandma- You too.    st link i liked the most and answered my questions and gave me the most information.
