Our SLCs are coming up, and I’m ready! This is the blog post for the conference coming soon.

PRIDE

The work I am most proud of is my quilt square. I think I did a really good job on this because of the level of detail that it has. I also liked the sewing that was on the background of the square which I did by hand. I enjoyed planning it and creating it and here is the original blog post.

GROWTH AS A LEARNER

Growth as a learner for me was shown in the difference between the Julius Caesar Unit and the Religion Unit. I think I learned more because I have been more efficient and I have learned to hand things in at the proper time. I feel like I have gained more from working harder.

WHAT HAS DEMONSTRATED MY GROWTH MINDSET

My growth mindset grew during the presentation of our Destination Imagination Project. I think  during that time I learned a lot about teamwork and building a vehicle from scratch.  I grew in courage when I got up in front of an audience to present the project.  I also learned to be more productive in a small amount of time based on the deadline that was given to us.  This is the blog post about it.

I was on the stage, performing… Wait, guys isn’t that a little too late in the story to start? Yeah, you’re quite right.

We started this unit on reading the Shakespeare play ‘Julius Caeser’ I managed to keep up quite well on the reading of the book, and the videos that were on the app as well. Then we got assigned to the groups for the play, whom were good members and great to work with.

We wrote the script, made it modern just as we were instructed, and we were set! The play we presented went very well, considering that it was an easy scene, and we had good people on the project.

So, you wanna know about Destination Imagination, huh? Well it’s quite a story that one. We started a long time ago in a galaxy far far away… No, but seriously we started a while ago, and it looked quite exciting. Our groups objective was to make a vehicle with two propulsion systems, and to tell a story. Then we started, it went rather fast and we managed to get lucky when it comes to  the resources we got. We put in the motor from  the lawn mower we got for 20 dollars, and the second propulsion system which was a drill, then the battery and everything else, and we were ready! (Virtually)

Then we headed off to regionals, nervous but excited. The day was fun, but a lot of the time we had to stand around and wait for the next thing to happen. But finally, we were ready to present! I didn’t think we were going to do very well, but it turned out we did.

Overall, the whole DI thing wasn’t really for me, but I did have some good moments from it. Here are some pictures and a video from the event, if you are interested:
