SLC’s or rather mPOL’s
It’s come to that time of the year again when it’s time to reflect on what I have done. So far grade ten has been interesting. For good and bad, that’s why today I will be talking about what I am most proud of, my skills, all of my PLP classes and also answer the driving question which is, How are you going to progress as a learner before the end of the school year?
So to start it off I will be talking about the work I am most proud of, which is my human rights podcast which I did in humanities.
I am most proud of this because of the effort and time I put into this podcast. I feel that even though my first draft didn’t come out amazing I tried my hardest and put lots of effort and time into the final draft and I am happy with the outcome I got. Also even though my group had its ups and downs which if I were to repeat the project I would improve I still found the unit about the human rights and more specifically homelessness very interesting and it taught me a lot.
The next subject I want to talk about is math. And more specifically my project on the golden ratio. This project I feel shows what I can improve on.
From the beginning of this project I was uncertain of what I was supposed to do. I didn’t understand the concept of the golden ratio, nor how to make it into art. Because of that I feel I didn’t produce the best work I could have. In the past I have always struggled with asking teachers fo help and I know that in the future I have to and will start asking more questions when I don’t understand something.
Know I would like to talk about science and how in a specific project it showed my growth as a learner. The project I am talking about is my identical twin project.
I feel this represents my growth as a learner because at the beginning of the project me and my partner weren’t share how to make a podcast about science and dna. Though once we wrapped our heads around the idea we got a sense of what we wanted our podcast to be like. Also I feel we were creative and I was happy with the results we got.
And finally my maker class. I would like to talk about the unit Everyone has a Story.
I feel that in this project it showed my growth as a learner, some of my weaknesses as well as that I am proud of it. The reason for all of that is because of how much time and effort I put in. One of the downfalls though was that I could have planned my time more effectively.
Also I feel that myself and my group could have more effectively planned our room since I feel that it was thrown together at the last minute.
Overall I know in the months to come I have things to improve such as time management, group work and more. Though to end this MPOL I would like to ask you how you feel I could improve my blogposts in general. Since term one I have really tried to improve and put more time and effort in my blogposts and I want to see if you have noticed it and how I can thus improve it.
