Exponent Games

Hello everyone! For this term in Math, we got to create a card game using exponent laws. I was partnered with Amelia R . This was more challenging than it may seem as we had to not only make a game that was easy and free-flowing, but at the same time mathematically plausible and followed exponent…

mPOL

My mPol is supposed to be about what I have learned so far and how I can improve as a learner, some struggles I’ve been having and what I think is difficult about PLP, how we managed our time, and what decisions we made about how to spend our time. The big thing for this…

Winter Exhibition 2018

For this Winter Exhibition, which PLP does every year, we had to create and immersive room using chemistry, a theme, and a story. Now you may be wondering how all these things can become linked and made into a project. Let me explain. In Science we had been learning about chemistry, specifically ionic and covalent…

Video Reflection Learning Post

This term in Maker, we focused on showing our learning through videos. At first this seemed like an easy one for me – anything that involves less writing for someone who is dyslexic is a bonus. However, we quickly learned that there is more to making an amazing video than just having the camera rolling….

Chemistry Story

In Chemistry this term we learned about atomic friendships. There are two kinds of atomic friendships that make new compounds or molecules. Ionic and covalent. The main difference in these two friendships, or bonds, is how generous the atoms are with one another. Ionic bonds are more generous because they donate their electrons to the…

Metaphor Machine

Hi to anyone who is still out there reading this. This post has been a long time coming. Literally. As I mentioned in my Alberta post, or at least I think I did, my memory is not back to full strength yet, shortly after coming home from our Alberta field study I got a bad…

Take Your Kid to Work Day

We ended this term with a great opportunity for another live event video – take your kid to work day. I have to admit that when I first thought about trying to film this, I was a little worried. My Dad was the parent taking me to work but most of the time my Dad…

Live Event Video

This year in PLP we have been working on making videos and video production. For one of our assignments we had to film a live event, something that was happening in our neighbourhood or nearby. I have been behind in my assignments due to a concussion, which has been hard, but one positive thing came…

Identity Post

For the first term this year we have been working on identity. Last year we worked on world view, which is how you look at the world. Identity is the opposite, it is how the world looks at you. Our driving question is how does the land shape our identity. First, we made a video…

Alberta Post

Hi everyone! Today I will be talking about our Alberta trip. Every year in PLP we go on a field study for a week or so. This year we drove though the Rocky Mountains to Calgary. It was a really fun trip with a lot of things to do and see. Just the drive was…
