In the previous two winter exhibitions, our PLP cohort was assigned to do a project about different entertainment series. In grade eight, it was Star Wars. In grade nine, it was Harry Potter. Me and the rest of the class were wondering what we were going to do for our third winter exhibition ever since […]
In our most recent humanities unit, we are learning about technology and how it has changed over the past.

Math ten has already had a fair amount of projects. One project that we have been doing this unit is our class’ trigonometry project, where we take certain angles and use them to create a solar panel that will create energy using the suns rays. Using the angle of the sun, we can determine what […]
