Biology class overview
I use science curriculum as a way for people to understand the vital importance of the natural world. In order to make this an applicable understanding I find it necessary to bring the world around us, all that can be touched, seen, experienced, into the classroom. This means examining our everyday experiences using the content we explore to make connections! My classroom utilizes virtual interactive tools, in depth readings, current events, manipulative and lab work (hands on or virtual) to bring science to the forefront of our minds. Despite these methods, I also understand the importance of test preparation and language acquisition in the realm of science. For this reason I also put an emphasis on practice test and vocabulary exploration in my classroom. With all this said, my main goal is to adjust to the needs of the student and work towards a learning methodology suited to them.

Demna's Impact on Balenciaga
Arjun and Raymond collaborated on an essay, focusing on Demna, Balenciaga's artistic director, as a marketing genius. Their work centered on crafting compelling introductory sentences and supporting examples to argue how Demna strategically integrates global political events, such as the Ukraine-Russia war and his Georgian heritage, and personal experiences into his designs and campaigns. This approach, as they discussed, aims to attract a younger demographic and enhance brand appeal, with specific examples like Demna's use of Ukrainian flag colors and the 'Afterworld' video game release during the pandemic.
