The coronavirus hit everyone really hard, and out of nowhere.The first cases of coronavirus hit America in January and ever since then everything has been going out of business, closing. For this project I decided to learn more about how to stay healthy doing this challenging time. So many people are going through so much so I wanted to learn how to make this time easier, and if possible go by faster. I've learned about staying healthy, the benefits, and things that everyone can do to stay healthy.
English
For the English part of my project I wanted to complete one of the guidelines for the class, so I decided I wanted to write an informative essay. I did a lot of research for this essay, and on this topic. My main claim for my essay was give a deeper understanding of staying healthy during quarantine and help explain why it is important to stay physically, mentally, and socially healthy during the quarantine. I uses multiple sources to support my claim like “Staying Active During the Coronavirus Pandemic” by Exercise is Medicine, “Stay Physically Active During Self- Quarantine” by The World Health Organization, “Stress and Coping” by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and more. The main things that I learned from my research were that a lot people are just concerned about catching COVID-19 that they forget the harm they can cause themselves by not staying on top of their own health. Staying physically fit and active can take away stress, and reduce serious health problems, staying on top of mental/ emotional health will make quarantine much easier, and help reduce serious health complications, also socially healthy can help everyone feel less lonely and increase the chances of living a happy life. My reasoning for claim was explained in the essay, and shown was through the evidence that I used to support my claim.
Social Studies
For Social Studies I wanted to try something different as a product. I emailed my teacher for ideas and he gave me the idea to do a Mind Map. Just like what I had to do for my essay, I had to do a lot of research and use a lot of sources to support my ideas for the Mind Map. My main claim for my Mind Map was that the economic damage would affect more people than the coronavirus would and I explained my reasoning and ideas in my Mind Map. I found a lot of websites or reports that showed large numbers of people who are unemployed versus the number of people who actually have coronavirus. However, coronavirus is very serious and affects a lot of people around the world and it should be taken very serious but when someone gets unemployed they lose the ability to provide for their family, and put food on the table and that is the reality for millions of Americans. I learned that so many people have to go weeks without money or getting paid. It is very important to be aware of coronavirus, but it is also important to remember the people who are struggling with unemployment.
Art
Lastly, for Art I wanted to use all the things that I have learned from English and Social Studies and apply it to my own life. So I created my own daily log and short write up of all the things I needed to do to stay socially, physically, and mentally healthy during this quarantine. I wasn't able to do everything on my list, but I did complete everything from the list of things that I really wanted to focus on plus I found out that I could a lot of cool things like how do a backbend. Besides that, I watched a ton of movies and TV shows and educated myself on the the current state of the world and the things that many people are going through during this time. This project very important because I learned a lot about myself, my health, and about the world. This chart helped me put my whole project together and the results better helped me to explain and show my reasoning for this project.
