The More Things Change.

faiths Science , ,

 

The more things change is the name of my project. This project was 5 milestones long and it was about Europeans setting in Canada our driving question is “How did European settlement effect all the people involved”. To answer this question we had to create an infographic. This infographic was then put up somewhere around the school. We also made a video explaining the infographic you can watch this video above. 

For this project you were partnered up with another classmate for the last three milestones, my partner was Nolan. 

The first two milestones were relatively simple. We had to write a reflection on how deep cove has changed, and complete a chart about continuity
and change in the time of European settlement.

The next three where more based on the final product an infographic that answers the driving question these were also the milestones that we worked on with our partners. Milestone three was when we had to come up with one fact + graphic for each of the three groups involved in the European settlement.

The three groups are…..

  1. The British 
  2. The French 
  3. The First Nations 

We also had to write a thesis that answers the driving questions and connects to the three facts.

The teachers then gave us critic on our facts and graphics and we revised them
for milestone 4. Milestone four had multiple tries and versions. This milestone
was our final infographic with the three facts + at least three graphics, the thesis, the statement on continuity and change, and at least three sources in
alphabetical order. We handed this then into Showbie got critic on if fixed what we needed to then got more critic we did this multiple times and in the end we  had finally made an infographic that makes sense and answers the driving question.  

You might think that that’s the end of this wonderful project but its not we then had to create a YouTube video that shows and explained the infographic. This video was made in an app called keynote with a thing called magic move. This video is showed at the top of this post.  

This project also included two curricular competencies I showed the first competency (identifying continuity and change) in milestone 2,3,and 4 as all of them included me identifying and writing about continuity’s and changes during the time of European settlement. The second competency (Using evidence from various sources )was showed in milestone 3, it was showed in milestone three because that is when we had to make our three facts, we had to know if our information on the fact came from a reliable source or not and to make sure we show where we got our info. Over all I think I ☀️accomplished☀️ all of the curricular competencies. 

That brings us to the end of this very fun and interesting project I learned a lot about what European settlement was and how people were effected.

Argh Matey Blog Reflection.

faiths Humanities

 Hi. This blog post is an end of project reflection on a project called Argh Matey! This project was all about the European exploration of the new world! During this project we had to learn about Christopher Columbus with his “discovery” of the Americans, we had to learn about the Columbus exchange, and much much more. In this project we learned about cause and consequences, both the cause and consequences part of the project and the European exploration part were put together to create the end project.   

Before I tell you about the end project I need to explain how we used an app called AR Makr to put together the end project. This app is an augmented realty (AR) app this makes it so you can add 3D or 2D shapes to a room to make it look like it is actually there when you look at it in the app. 

Now combining the three things I have talked about, I made an AR video on the European exploration using cause and consequence! I made a cause and consequence sheet on the European exploration, created drawings for each event, wrote an paragraph explanation, and then I added it all into the AR Makr app to bring it all alive. For example, I brought a boat from Christopher Columbus’s time and also some indigenous people. This showed the Columbian exchange and the start of European exploration of the Americas.

 I enjoyed making the end project even if there were a few problems like the AR app not saving my progress, or the fact that my writing explanation took forever to record. Over all I enjoyed how we put our learning about the European exploration into a new app.  I hope you enjoyed learning about the Argh matey project.
