Since geography was the theme for this unit, we were asked to simulate writing for a travel blog. This is what I made based off of that prompt.]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039033 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039039 In this project, we were asked to create a podcast episode about a current event using aspects of literary journalism. I worked on it alongside Laila and Mila, contributing mostly by editing it.]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039039 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039055 For this unit, we were asked to research local news and write a small article about them. I paired up with Maria Gabriela and we wrote about the blockades that were happening arround Brazil, contesting the results of the presidential elections. The result was a 100-word article titled "Anti-democratic protests interrupt traffic on Brazilian highways".]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039055 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039062 Since Unit 4 seeks to discuss the relationship betwent international affairs and the environment, we were asked to participate in a debate for which the theme was organic agriculture as the future for food production. My team defended that thesis by stating that organic agriculture is better for the environment and the human body in the long term. However, I do believe that the other team won, as they brought up points regarding its high cost that we weren't able to contest, as well as pointing out that we couldn't support our statement that it reduced food waste. In the end, it was a great opportunity to learn a bit more about the subject, its pros and cons and its relevance in the global stage.]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039062 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039066 With this project, we analyzed the war in Ukraine to try to determine a way to peacefully resolve it. To achieve that, we simulated a peace convention, in which I represented the USA alongside Mila. The outcome was The Goiania Peace Treaty, detailing the points agreed to for ending the war.]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039066 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039070 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039070 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039073 For this project, I was paired up with Mila to create a presentation on the Legislative branch of power. In it, we had to explain its role, how it stays balanced with the other powers and compare it to the brazilian system.]]> 2022-12-06 02:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410039073 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410076425 2022-12-06 03:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410076425 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410091389 2022-12-06 03:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2410091389 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2413496130 2022-12-07 21:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2413496130 marianybgoncalves https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2413511562 2022-12-07 21:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marianybgoncalves/t37gihfp1dl24cjk/wish/2413511562
