15AP Calculus

“Definitely eating all the pancakes with butter and syrup was the best part.” Brad Meyers (12)

AP Calculus students were given the opportunity to participate

in the annual pancake project in which they used mathematical

formulas to determine the ingredients needed for their recipe.

Kelly Rayburn, one of the two AP calculus teachers said, “We do

this project in the beginning of the year to help build bonds between

students so they feel comfortable making study groups throughout

the rest of the year. Also, most kids never make pancakes truly from

scratch anymore and this project forces them to get outside their

comfort zone.”

The students were given equations to solve in order to find the

measurements of the ingredients. Jessica Pierce (12) said “By

calculating the needed ingredients, I learned how to apply calculus

to my everyday life.”

The project incorporated eggs, flour, milk, blueberries, sugar,

baking powder, and salt to achieve the end result of nine 4-inch

pancakes. Students were also required to take pictures of each step

and put together a creative poster displaying their process.

While this project was an optional assignment, many students

chose to participate to earn extra credit and have fun with their

classmates.

Tyler Heath (12) said, “My favorite part of the project was

spending time with friends and then getting to eat the pancakes

that surprisingly tasted delicious.”

Many AP Calculus students agreed that this project has been the

most fun part of class so far and are looking forward to everything

else to come in this demanding course.

“It took us an hour to make the pancakes and create our poster.” Emily Evangelista (11)

“My group’s pancakes turned out to be delicious!” Isabella Mighell (11)

“My favorite part was eating the

pancakes.” Darrion Williams (12)

“It was cool to see how Calculus

relates to the real world.” Savannah

Walker (12)

“I enjoyed this project because it turned math

into something interesting.”

Connor Welsh (12)

“This project with my friends helped

me to better understand limits.” Marissa Sandler

(11)

“I learned how important accurate

measurements are in baking.” Jackie Faircloth

(12)

Calculus Students Earn Extra Credit Making Pancakes

Recipe for Success

The Final Product

“This extra credit project was worth it because It was a good mix of Calculus and food.” Danielle Scott (12)

“I learned about limits and how to make pancakes from scratch which is something not many people know how to do.” Toria Fidler (12)

The Presentation

“I’ve never made pancakes from scratch before, but after this project I have figured out a good recipe and can’t wait to make them again!” Lydia Kriseman (12)

1. Isabella Mighell (11) and Jessica Pierce (12) mix ingredients to create

their pancakes. Surprisingly, the math component wasn’t the most challenging

part of the project. Pierce said, “The hardest part was not burning the

pancakes.” 2. After calulating the correct amount of eggs needed for the pancakes, Carolina Ramos (12) adds them to the mix. She

worked on the recipe for about an hour. Ramos said, “This project helped me

better understand how to calculate and figure limits.”

August/September Pancake Spread

This was the first spread we created and it was the first time I really used Indesign. It was great to learn how to put in all the pictures and learn how to use all of the tools on Indesign. I made my first mod and it helped me improve each spread because I learned new things while doing this mod. I learned how to use Photoshop to brighten my pictures.

Students observe the process and speak to the bailiff about his duties. While Judge Hein-rich gives initial charges to defendants, his bailiff brings in witnesses to the court room. “It was interesting to see inside of Judge Heinrich’s courtroom and what role the bailiff played in the court procedure process”, said Luke McFadden (12).

The stereotype of only learning in school was broken by various field trips. Many classes offered a chance for students to go on field trips related to their subject. These trips gave students an opportunity to expand their knowledge of that subject outside the classroom and learn information that not provided by a textbook.

AP Art History was offered an extra credit opportunity to go on a trip to Tampa Museum of Art where they observed original pieces of art and how different elements characterized their features.

“We got to look at original pieces of historical art that we had been studying and it really brought our class to life,” Addison Hill (11) said.

These students looked at pieces of art in a textbook all year, but got to see it in real life.

Students who took court procedures were able to experience real life trials at the Court House, similar to the ones they studied in class. Before witnessing a murder trial, the students went into a small room separated

by a glass window, and observed a judge who reviewed nightly felonies and adjusted punishments accordingly.

“When we watched the murder trial, we were able to understand the language the lawyers were using because of what we had been studying in class” Sunnie Lawson (11) said.

During the trial, the jury took a break so that students had the chance to ask the judges and bailiffs questions and receive helpful tips about their jobs.

Connor Patsko receives first hand tips from Judge Battles while taking a break from a murder trial. Patsko (10) said, “Judge Battles looked like he was having fun and I would love to do his job”.

Another field trip offered in October was a chance to meet the author, Alex Flinn. Mrs. Schram took five students to meet and hear her, someone of whom many aspire to be like. “I wanted to meet Alex Flinn because she wrote Beastly and I love the adventure,” Lauren Schmidt (12) said.

Making Art Come To Life

Learning Outside The Box

“My favorite thing about Alex Finn is the way she uses magic to change an arrogant person into someone who is thoughtful and has a good heart,” Ryann Koehler (11) said.

“I love Alex Flinn because she puts together a world and characters that would not exist in the real world,” Katie Chae (11) said.

“I like the author because she inspires me to write fantasy type books and I would love to know more of her history as an author,” Maha Farooqi (11) said.

1. AP Art History classmates tour the exterior of the Tampa Museum of Art as Bill Renninger runs through the day’s agenda. Together they soaked the authenticity of postmodern architecture. Amanda Rodiero (10) said, “I liked seeing all the artifacts that we learned about in class.”2. While inside another area of the antiquities department Renninger reveals the history of paintings shown on the Greek wine containers called Oenochoe. They analyzed the wine contain-ers to match the history with the work of art. “It was really awesome to get the opportunity to see a beautiful piece of art that we had been studying for weeks in real life,” Maddy Mckay (12) said.3. Inside the Antiquities department, Renninger and his AP Art History students discuss the secret beauty behind Greek and Roman collections. They examined 3,000 year old pottery for the first time to bring class to life. Renninger said, “It’s a very interesting box because it looks like one piece but it actually has a separate cut lid. Inside it has scratch marks so the lid lines up perfectly.”

October Field Trips

For October, I covered Field Trips and all of the things that some classes did to learn in new ways. I learned how to make a poll chart and learned how to add variety to my spread. I thought it was challenging to adjust each book spine to the percentage of students who enjoyed it.

November Media Center

The Media Center is one of the more undermined places on Plant’s campus. I decided to let people know what the Media Center held in November from the Poetry Jam to Book Club. These were my first cut outs and I was able to practice by doing three of them. I learned how to do a package for a particular event and lerned to separate events and have an eyeline.

3page topic

With the holiday season around the corner, chorus students anticipated the 20th annual Madrigal dinner. Students spent a month preparing for their performance of “The Snow Queen” along with an all day dress rehearsal the day before.

Chris Harris (12) said, “I would run the lines in my head during class, I’d even act out entire scenes in the car; but the hardest part by far was learning how to actually do it when the spotlight came on.”

Snowflakes lined the walls and wassail filled the cups during the three performances on Saturday Dec. 6 and 7. “The Snow Queen” told the tale of two sisters, one being a worried girl trying to find love, and another who had the power

to freeze the entire town of Arendelle. Whilst songs were sang about “letting it go” and a snowman wanting summer, the traditional Boars Head was served followed by the medieval dessert of flaming pudding.

The entertainment ended with a concert performance, and an interactive performance in which the guests joined the choir in singing the famous carol, “Silent Night.”

Olivia Robb (9) said, “My favorite part was seeing the reaction of the audience- it made our hardwork worth it.”

The effort put forth by the students was evident, the audience showed their appreciation by giving them a standing ovation for all three consecutive shows.

Ice Ice Baby 1. Two honorary members of men’s chorus present the wassail. The cup then flamed from dry ice. “It was really interesting to be a part of the tradition and being able to work with dry ice and flames,” Nathan Smith (10) said.2. Women’s chorus preforms “All I Want for Christmas is You”. The girls then each sang solos. “The whole cast put so much effort into the show and it really showed,” Natalie Leonard (10) said.

Madrigals Turns

Bruce Yost sets the scene for a Fox 13 segment by describing the hard work put into the show, as well as promoting its date, time, location, and stellar entertain-ment. The news caster, Charlie Belcher, encouraged all Tampa families looking for a weekend activity to buy a ticket to the performance. “The cast had to arrive at school around 5:30 in the morning. We just made it up as we went along and it turned out to be a fantastic opportunity” (Bruce Yost, Choral Director).

“Hi I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs!” Andrew VanWert (11)

“Wessleton, it’s Wessleton!” Trevor Barksdale (11)

“If only somebody loved you.” Augie Castellana (10)

“Christmastime!” Alex Muscaro (12)

“I’m awkward, you’re gorgeous...wait what?” Rachel Goding (12)

“The cold never bothered me anyway.” Jamie Karr (12)

“No singing now!”Michael Swanick (12)

“You’re getting married!” Rachel Patterson (12)

Charlie Belcher, a Fox 13 news reporter, is crowned “king” by the cast of the Madrigals on the primetime morning news. Belcher was asked to come feature the Plant High Chorus cast on his segment “Charley’s World” during “Good Day Tampa Bay” before their opening show. “They really know how to treat you like a king here at Plant High School” (Charlie Belcher, Fox 13).

The women’s cast, dressed in full costume, eagerly waits to film various seg-ments highlighting their show. The students filmed for almost a total of five hours. “It was really cool and worth it to be on live TV and a great way to get the word out about Madrigal dinners” (Ella Fernandez 11).

December Madrigals

This is the most recent spread I have created. It includes a variety of mods and cutouts. The characters costumes were very challenging to cutout, but I learned many new tools on Photoshop while I was trying to cutout each one. I learned how to add color to the spread.
