CDH GCE Portfolio

 I have never liked being misread, misunderstood, or misrepresented(EVER). This action project was perfect to explain that point because we are looking to make our voices heard. We were asked to find a piece of potential legislation that our representatives are looking at and advise them based on our opinions. When I look into certain decisions they can get complicated, whereas others should be no brainers. The piece I found feels as if it should be a no brainer with several contributing factors (this will be explained in the letter). I am addressing Illinois State Senate member Kimberly A.

The letter reads as follows: Hello Senator Lightford, I am a high school student from the city of Chicago that needs your help.

When discussing the "War of Currents" our main focus would shift from the people to AC and DC to find each strength and weakness between them. Next thing we knew, our teacher had a means of letting us make circuits ourselves. This leads me into the main idea of this action project: to create a parallel circuit with three resistors(light bulbs) and several displays/ real world examples of it.    Slide 1: Slide one shows off the circuit laid out, making the fact that I'm using forks to link the resistors obvious.   Slide 2: With the unconventional way my circuit is set up it was difficult to show how I wanted the roo...
