For my second Apollo project, I decided to do my project on Pollution. The thinking skill for this project is perspective. I believe it's important for everyone to learn about pollution because it is something we have to live around everyday. Our world has been affected by so many different hazardous chemicals that make the world a dangerous place. I wanted to learn a little more about the environment and what it would be like if we could eliminate pollution.
Social Studies:
For my second Apollo project, I decided to build a new world without pollution. For the social studies part, I created a constitution for my country. I used the United States of America’s constitution as a reference from my constitution. While doing research, I looked at a bunch of different documents that I thought would be important when writing my constitution. Some of the documents I looked at were the Mayflower compact, the Virginia House of Burgesses, and the Constitution. For my research, I did basic research on pollution. I also did research on the different types of governments, then picked a government after I got a better understanding of all of them.
When writing my first amendment, I choose to do the freedom of speech, religion, and press. I believe it’s important for everyone to express their opinions in their own ways. That’s why I believe freedom of speech is the most important amendment in the constitution. The next couple of amendments are to keep the citizens of Orcus safe. It's important to have peace throughout the whole country and zero violence.
Amendment four was based on pollution. It's most important in my opinion to live in a safe and healthy environment. When living in this country, we want to keep everyone healthy even the animals living in the environment.
The next couple of amendments are about the privacy of the citizens. This means everyone can be their own individual and not be interfered with the government. Amendment eight and nine are about crime in the country. These amendments basically state that everyone has the right to a jury, so they get more than one opinion for their case. The protection of cruel punishment is also important. While writing these amendments, I decided to follow the US amendment as a reference for some parts.
The last amendment I feel is pretty important as well. My chosen type of government was a republican type of government. Because power is held by the people who elect representatives that manage the government for the people for the common good. I feel this is a good type of government because the person elected making laws for the common good isn’t just one person, but a whole group of people from the community. Also the citizens have a say in their government, the people can communicate with representatives about their ideas and actions they want for their community. People are dependent on representatives for creating fair laws. If not, people will vote them out of office in order to select a new leader. I personally think this is important because everybody has a say from the community.

English:
For the English portion of my project, I read a book from someone else's perspective on pollution. I read the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. After I read the book and took notes on it, I decided to write a response to the book from my own perspective.
Art:
For art to show anyones perspective on pollution, I decided to photoshop different kinds of pollution into photos I took around.
