Engagement Plan: Sutton

      After completing an extensive research paper and conducting interviews with my contacts, I am ready to share my finalized Engagement Plan for my 2020 Challenge Project regarding Houston's preparedness for an outbreak. While the entire world is currently experiencing COVID-19, my "solution" is going to target my neighborhood and school community. Using Canva, I am going to create a education and motivational infographic to spread awareness on how individuals can protect themselves, share fun facts regarding the virus, and also shine a light on how proud we should be of how Houston has handled this catastrophe. I am either going to print out around 30 black and white flyers to put on the door of some houses in my neighborhood or I am going to print 15 colored posters to put on the fences of local parks or on lamp posts. I will also share a digital copy through email with my classmates as well as post it on the Post Oak School Instagram page.
Specific details of infographic:
      - Encourage wearing masks
      - Share volunteer organizations that need help
      - Share credible media sources to follow instead of TV
      - Inspirational quote "your personal choice determines your communities potential future"
      - Highlight how well Houston has adapted to the pandemic
      - For neighborhood flyer - add link to community website
       In addition to creating this flyer, I am going to post a photo on social media of me wearing a mask and tag my friends. This will encourage them to post a photo of them wearing a mask and tag more people. Hopefully, by taking advantage of social media, I can reach a wider range of people and help make wearing masks "cool". This idea spurred from my interview with Lindy Mcgee, a pediatrician. She talked about how, right now, people look at those who are wearing masks and think they are overreacting. On the other hand, in other countries, if you are not wearing a mask, people will think you are a selfish jerk. Wearing masks only works if everyone wears them and I want people to know that wearing masks is the only way we will ever return to our normal lives. Through this social media post and through the flyer, I hope to educate, motivate, and activate my school and neighborhood communities!

Cultural Anthropology

Gabriel Han Sep 16 IHSS Cultural Anthropology Blog I read an article about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a study around them conducted by MIT. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a series of ancient Hebrew texts that were discovered in 1947. The study was focused on one scroll known as the Temple scroll, out of the 900 or so scrolls. The scrolls were hidden in jars on hillsides north of the Dead Sea, often under debris. The reason the Temple scroll was chosen was because it is the largest and most well preserved of the scrolls, despite the fact that the material is incredibly thin, at only 1/250 of an inch thick. The study was to investigate how the parchment was made, and what it was made of. Results showed it was processed in a strange way, and made of odd ingredients like evaporates that differed from the normal ones. This raises questions such as how did they make it, or come up with the idea for it? Scientists believe that understanding this parchment could provide insights into the cultur...

Further Investigation of Immigration

Andreas Cantu Mr. Roddy IHSS 12 April 2020 Chinese Immigration  Between the years 1845 and 1855 the US saw a massive influx of chinese immigrants. This was due to the gold rush in California. Chinese immigrants would leave the friends and family in search of a better life with more opportunities in America, and gold rush gave them their best shot at making it big in America. Although they had hopes to join the gold mining most of them took jobs with coal mining companies for little to no commision. This was huge problem for the immigrants, because it made life in America very difficult. As time went on they had begun opening up small business wherever they could, this helped them integrate their culture into the American culture and help them feel more at home. The American Robber Barons saw Chinese immigrants as noting but cheap labor. In 1863 The transcontinental railroad began its six year long construction, stretching from Sacramento California to Omaha, as more Chinese...

Thoughts on Engagement

After doing the research for my challenge project on kill and no kill animal shelters, I have decided that I want to find a way to educate people on the internet without stating any form of opinion in order to be informative without being offensive. What I want to do is make a website that will have information both good and bad on kill and no kill animal shelters in an effort to educate the public on the matter. many people will for blind opinions on specifically kill shelters as they don't do the research and end up attacking people without any information on the matter. This is something that people need to know about because it is important that people who are thinking about adopting an animal know what they are getting in to before they do so impulsively. I will also include information on why sterilizing animals is so important to the issue of strays and why people should consider sterilizing their household pets as well as it only puts their animal in danger and makes them w...
