Hey world! Ever stop and think about the future we’re actually building? Not the perfect version we picture in our heads, but the one we drift toward through the small choices we make every day. When we scroll past a problem, follow the crowd because it’s easier, or normalize something that feels a bit off, […]
⚠️ Entering the Dystopian World
Hello world! Welcome to my first ever learning intentions post, something new this year where we set goals for each project and decide what we want to focus on. This project is the perfect follow-up to our authoritarianism unit, taking the same ideas of power, control, and lost freedoms and imagining what they might look […]
Now or Never
We are marching down a dangerous path, one paved with obedience. Look around, and you’ll see democracy beginning to crumble. At the end of that path stands a smiling face, the face of your country’s dictator. Maybe you feel safe, maybe you don’t. But step by step, choice by choice, we are the ones walking […]

Hello and welcome back to my blog! With only one week left of Grade 11, it’s the perfect time to reflect on this past year—what I’ve learned, how I’ve grown, and why I feel ready to move on to Grade 12. But first, the POL declaration: “Thank you for coming to my Presentation of Learning. […]

When you think of writing, what comes to mind? A creative outlet—or just another chore? Essays, reports, notes, emails… whether we like it or not, we write all the time.

This project was both fascinating and challenging because it explored complex and sometimes controversial topics: status, identity, […]

Yup, you guessed it! It’s time for an MPOL. Pol declaration: “Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am […]
🔎 Digging Deeper
Hey! Welcome back to my blog! Imagine holding an artifact—a beautifully carved mask, an intricately woven basket, or a centuries-old tool. What stories does it hold? What can it reveal about the people who made it, their traditions, and their way of life? Anthropology is the key that unlocks these stories, offering us a deeper, […]
ReconciliACTION
Hey people! Welcome back to my blog! As we dive into new, exciting projects this year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our 2024 winter exhibition project, which centered on reconciliation. Reconciliation. You’ve likely heard the word before—on the news, in class, or discussions, especially in Canadian politics. But what does it […]
