Angeline+P.

=Introduction= Welcome to my Anatomy portfolio! Here I will show you all of the knowledge I have gained by taking this class, and all the projects I have created reflecting the information I have gained. Over the course of the year, the class and myself have learned about tissues of the human body, damages caused to the skin due to over sun exposure, the joints and bones of the body, and many disorders of the body reflected in our Wikipedias and blogs.

In this portfolio, you will find six projects, blogs or Wikipedias I created or I created by collaborating with others. The first is the tissues powerpoint I created following learning about the body's tissues and taking pictures of them during a lab. This artifact is followed by a brochure I created discussing skin cancer. It informs the reader of the ways skin cancer is created, how it is treated, how it is prevented and signs of skin cancer. Then you will find the joint Wikipedia I created with my fellow classmates, Samantha and Ashley, about the Knee. Following the Knee Wikipedia, I have included a blog discussing the controversy of stem-cell research and about placenta-cord banking. I have also included a Wikipedia on the bone disorder, Rickets and a Wikipedia on Ultrasound Imaging. Also on this portfolio you will learn about my future goals and other information about myself. I hope you enjoy my projects as I have spent much time and energy on them. Scroll down or click on the navigational bar to the right to go to your desired page.

=Biography= My name is Angeline and I am a junior in high school. I personally enjoy reading, writing, singing and taking photography. Before school, I am a member of a small elite singing group called Women's Ensemble and also am sectional leader for this choir and 2 others.Through this I have gone to state competitions each year getting the highest rating possible, as well as with the choir and have also recieved numerous other awards in theatre and voice. I also am a member of NHS, Tri-M, and Key Club. Because I am a singer, I took anatomy to learn more about my body, specifically muscles to learn how to better my singing by learning how my body works. I also think everyone should know how their body works, whether they go into the medical field or not. After high school, I am considering a career in photography, journalism, special effects makeup or sound recording technology. My three top colleges are California Institute of the Arts, Loyola Marymount University and University of Nevada Reno. My dream job would be working in the movie industry either in sound or makeup, or working for a major magazine photographing and writing.

=Tissues Project= =media type="custom" key="412623"= [|Tissue Slideshow Part 2]

The tissues presentation via slideshow was created to help others understand the body's tissues by using pictures, sound, and condensed information in simple terms. This also was a favorite of mine, and felt so accomplished by the end of it. I believe the information was effectively given, as well as making an attractive and easy to use slideshow. I never realized all of the tissues of the body until this project, and learned so much about the many cells within my body. I have realized how much knowledge I have gained on this subject when watching medical shows and I understand the medical lingo. My personal goal for this project, which I believe I have attained, is to help others learn about bodily tissues easily, effectively, while keeping them captivated.

=Brochure=

With this brochure, the overall goal of this was to create a brochure informing readers about skin cancer (possibly seeing this in a doctor's office). It identifies the signs of skin cancer, preventitive measures as well as treatments if cancer occurs. Personally, this is my favorite project the class has completed because I learned so much and enjoyed making a colorful and attractive brochure.I included this because it shows all of the information I have gained on skin cancer, as well as my hard work on creating an attractive brochure. I believe this project gets the point across about skin cancer, while it is still eye-catching and interesting. As an already obsessive sun-avoider, I was able to learn more about why it is good I do not go out into the sun in excess. It also motivated me to continue with this belief and also learned some other preventitive measures I can take that I never realized before.

=Joint Wikipedia= Knee Wikipedia This Wikipedia was designed to be for 6th graders learning about joints, specifically the knee. I completed this with Samantha and Ashley. I believe we did a very good job on this Wikipedia, although I do believe we could have spent more time, possibly explaining more and using more simple words. However, I have had a similar vocabulary since 6th grade, so I do not believe the page was not too advanced. I learned how much was exactly in the knee, such as ligaments and blood supplies. I learned how surgery was performed as well as little facts like babies do not have knee caps! I believe we achieved our goal of creating an insightful page with the intentions of teaching 6th graders.

=Blog= [|Genetically Modified Babies? (Blog Discussion)]

With this blog, all students were asked to discuss a controversial topic of our time. I chose to discuss the controversy of stem-cell researching, specifically controversy over using a combination of animal and human embryos. I learned and also gained more insight into my feelings upon this subject. I then learned about Placenta-cord banking, which is done at birth, that is much less controversial than stem-cells and also does not end in a fetus' death. I did a very good job on explaining my opinions without being offensive and also realized I was slightly unknowledgable about something I though I believed. I achieved my goal of explaining a pressing topic and hoping it would encourage others to understand beliefs before claiming that view.
