My Declaration

This is the first Action Project for our Winter Term Humanities class, A Nation's Argument. In this unit, we focused on what makes a strong argument and learned what an argument really is. We spent time really breaking down the components of an argument and how to write one. We learned about syllogisms, which include premises and conclusions, as well as, Inductive and Deductive reasoning. We also focused on learning about the Declaration of Independence and how that related to Argument. We broke it down into sections and related each part back to individual indicators and components of Argument. When it came to the AP, we were tasked with making our own Declaration - a Declaration of an Independent Study. We got to choose our own topics and then made an outline supporting why this study was important, and showing how the course would go. We also had the principal of Rogers Park Montessori School, as an FE guest, to talk to us about the school, and the benefits of hands-on learning. Below, you will see my Declaration to study Psychology in High School. Enjoy!

In conclusion, I enjoyed this project because I am passionate about Psychology and would like to study it in the future. If I could do the project over I would change how much detail I put into it. However, I think I overall did pretty well. I am excited for the next unit and what it brings. I hope you liked my project!
