Hello everyone and welcome to another amazing post. This post is about TPOLS!! This is my first one but it’s a lot like the MPOLS post I did awhile back. The only difference is that this one is about why I should be accepted into PLP next year. So here I go!
I have learned a lot this year. From photoshopping to blogging to sewing to using an iPad to taking better pictures. The list goes on and on.
Maker
Maker this year has been a blast! I learned a lot how to learn in a group from DI. I also learned some very key things that I’ll get to later but the first thing I would like to talk about is DI.
DI was great I learned a lot about how to be a good group member. I chose to include this unit is because it really shows you how key working in a group is. It also taught me how to look at thing from a different prospective because if I hadn’t my groups final project would have been very bad.
Another unit that really help me improve was both exhibitions that we did this year. This unit tought me how to prepare for a presentation and why you don’t leave it to the last minute.
Humanities
Humanities this year flew by. It feels like it was just yesterday when I got on the bus to Oregon. Of all the things we did this year there are a few I will never forget.
The first is the advertisement unit. I think this was an important because it used all the things we worked on this year but I just didn’t realize it back then. The Oregon ads really helped me develop my skills in photoshopping and using still images.
One thing that learned from this unit is that you should never rush through any project and hurry to hand it in.
Another project we worked on in humanities that I think really helped me was the religion unit.
The reason I really believe this unit helped me improve as a learner is for two reasons. The first is that I lived a very sheltered life so getting to go out and see different types of people and how they live was very amazing. The second is because it taught me that you can’t procrastinate work when your in a group because if you do then your group members are going to yell at you and its not good for the group.
One unit that I definitely could of worked harder on was our stitch in time unit. I know I could of done more on this unit because when I go and look at our quilts that we did. Not much of the stuff that we did for it I can say I did. This was one of the units were I slacked of a lot.
Scimathics
This year in science was very unique and the units we did helped me learned and practice a lot of things. One of those things was presentation. Ive always been ok at making and presenting work but normally it always an individual project. The unit we did on earthquakes was very good for me to practice presenting in a group and our presentation worked out very well.
Improvements to be made
This year I have really struggled with handing work in on time and not procrastinating it to the night before. One example I have is this presentation I didn’t start it till about 10:00pm last night and didn’t finish until right before we came here. Another example is the winter exhibition. I didn’t really started the final project until the night before and even though it turned out really good I was extremely exhausted the day of the exhibition.
How I’m going to improve
The main reason I procrastinate a really long time is because I keep getting distracted by all my games. So my solution for this is I’m most likely going to delete all my games at the start of next year so that I don’t get distracted by them because I have terrible self control.
Thank you for reading and have a great day.
