LIFE - VITALI, JADE & MARIA

LIFE

We chose LIFE topic because we wanted to show how normal people are enjoying their lives in different and most important stages. We tried to encourage people to approach LIFE in an easy and light way. Therefore, we explained LIFE in three different stages. At first, the words “Discovering everything around” are related to children’s LIFE, when curiosity for learning about LIFE is vital. After this, the adult stage comes when the words “Applying gained knowledge” mean that we live doing all our understanding about LIFE, making right or wrong decisions. At the end, after people lived all their lives, they feel “Grateful for lifetime”, when they had the opportunity to discover and apply knowledge during given years. That means that no matter if they had a bad or good LIFE they are still grateful for the lifetime.

Love by Cherie, Yan, and Teresa

Our theme is love. We chose this theme because love plays an important role in our life. People can not live without love. We want to tell everyone love has two sides, either warm or hurtful. Love can make our life colorful. Everyone should care the one they love. Love exist in every generation, it also can destroy the cultural barriers.
Our 3-words:
You Hurt Me, Make Me Cry, Care each Other, Make Me Smile, Always Beside You, You're The One, You're My Angel, I Love You.We use all these three words in order to show the whole love story to you. In the process of our love, we will encounter a lot of difficulty.If we overcome these problems. We will have happy ending like our story.

I CAUGHT-SHASHA,CONGPING,OSCAR

We chose this theme of animals because we are animal lovers, and most importantly, protecting animals is one of our responsibilities. We are affiliated with PETA, so every time that we have an opportunity to show the world our love for animals, we will do so. This time it was in our class, so we showed our class of how important it is to love and protect animals.

We chose the words that describe animals at their best. Those words are love, friendly, fluffy, cute, lonely and best friends. All those words describe animals in every way that we can think of.

Our video shows all kinds of people meaning that animals are part of the culture as well and not only places, people, and objects. However, animals are part the high or popular culture. Even president Obama has animals living in the White House.

my poster

Hello everyone! I am Cherie. I come from China. As you see there is a flag of China on the upper right corner. There are many things I like in the United State. Such as the Blue Man show, McDonald's, Disney and Movies. I enjoy living in Chicago.

I like Chicago

From the left to right of this poster, I have been tried to tell everyone where I came from and how I felt about the United State. I came from China, and I came here for 15 months. The United State is a melting pot, and we have to learn how to accept American’s culture. Something I like in Chicago is ice cream, it is cheap and tasty. There are large numbers of beautiful scenery in Chicago, so I want to take photos anywhere. I like Chicago.

Anything is Possible!

In all of these pictures I will talk about Bareck Obama. He's always confident and optimistic when he's talking making you feel like he knows what he's doing as our president. I think it is because he proved, not just to the US, but to the world that anything is possible. Obama seriously said that he was gonna get back so many jobs, and the number has already decreased greatly. Hopefully now everyone will see Black and Whites as one color.

I liked my post to be kind of mixed not to talk about one single country. I am living in USA and I know 2 different cultures American (that I should learn more because here will be my future) and Albanian (that was a great culture for how long I lived there). Now I am interesting the culture of USA. Let say as our President yes we can! and anything is possible!

My Culture

This picture can tell all of my classmates where I come from. Tang Suit is Chinese traditional dress. Before Tang Suit is only for rich people to wear to their special events. And the poor people can not even have the money to do one of the Tang Suit. Right now, Tang Suit is a fashionable style in the world. It follows the century to change their style for everyone. In this century, people use Tang Suit for their wedding dress, and also their important day. Tang Suit is valuable and elegant dress for Chinese people. I choose this image to let everyone to know. When we wear the dress in our body, this dress will show the beautiful figure out of the dress. The dress is mean a lot to me. To me, it tells me the history and important events that I should use.

On this poster I tried to show something that is about my lifestyle and popular culture that I'm in.
As you can see pictures with popular culture is mostly American,like shows and my favorite channels,that means it influence on me most.
Another that you can see is pictures with my favorite things to do,though it has nothing to do with my cultural identity but regarding these pictures you can know a little bit about things that I like to do,that represent me.
