Hey Y‘all, Max here. Lies and Incongruences is the last project this year for humanities 10. As you may or not have been able to tell from the project name, this project was focused on the mistreatment of First Nations and Indigenous populations in Canada. Of course PLP has done a few projects on somewhat […]
Why the Juno Beach Centre should be preserved or why it shouldn’t
Hey Y’all, Max here. Juno Beach is the smallest beach on the 80-odd kilometre beach strip that makes up Normandy Beach. During the Second World War it was an important turning point in the conflict known as D-Day, where Normandy Beach was attacked by the Allies in an attempt to liberate and reclaim France, and […]
Coping with Unemployment
Hey Y’all, Max here. This post is focusing on the latest project in PGP careers ( Personal Growth Plan ), which is called Marketing YOU!!! As you can probably guess, the point of this project was to learn about money, planning for employment, and making resumes. It feels kind of wrong to call this a […]
Balance Opportunities ( awesome )
Hey Y’all, Max here. A while ago ( almost exactly this time last year ) I were reading and ( trying ) to understand a book called “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” ( here’s the link to the blog post ). I remember I was conflicted when I was reading it; I could […]

The
Hey Y’all, Max here. The subject of the most recent humanities 10 project was Romeo and Juliet. I was not at all looking forward to going through a 400-year play, but I learned its not as bad as it seems. This was a relatively short project, but I feel it achieved its goal. The driving […]
Loon Lake ( awesome ) Round II
Hey Y’all, Max here. Last February PLP 8 and 9 went to Loon Lake in what was my first ever field school with PLP. Unfortunately, I came down with a case of COVID on the second day and my experience was cut short ( you can read about that here ). Anyways, this years trip […]
Ology of Apology / Winter Exhibition 2022 Double Post
Hey Y’all, Max here. My previous experience with PLP exhibitions have generally been quite hit-or-miss. Sometimes my grade will get a great project that’s supposed to be presented in an interesting way, and sometimes my grade will be left opening doors for guests ( that hasn’t happened yet but I imagine it will ). My […]
