In December, we had our mini exhibition. Last year our theme was the environment, but this year our theme was Star Wars. So naturally, every Friday leading up to the exhibition we watched all the movies, so everyone who hadn’t seen them before could watch them.
Creating an inquiry
Just like the winter exhibition and the blue sky exhibition, the Star Wars exhibition was based around an inquiry based question. This was difficult to do, because before there exhibition I had only watched three of the Star Wars movies. After brainstorming as many questions as I could, I chose my top three, followed by my favourite. Once I got my question approved, it was time to start my research.
How does the power of belief affect your ability to perform a task?
You may be wondering how this question relates to Star Wars. It’s actually linked to the force, and how you have to believe in yourself in order to use it. This question wasn’t exactly a yes or no answer, because most of the time believing in yourself does help accomplish a task, but not always. Sometimes you will fail.
Research
When it came to researching my question, it would be pretty hard to just get all my information off of websites. So I interviewed my hairdresser who used to be a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN), so she knows about what I was researching. I emailed her dome questions, and this was her response:
Can you tell me a bit about the job you had when you were helping others, and some of your experiences?
The job I had that helped others was as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN). I provided support in community settings for adults living with mental illness. I was responsible for managing their medications, counselling them, communicating with their doctors and psychiatrists about their health and encouraging their independence with their daily living. I worked specifically with people who had bipolar mood disorder and schizophrenia and I was there to support them and keep them stable. Sometimes, their illness would effect them acutely and they would be in a crisis state and would then need to be admitted to the hospital.
What are some things someone could do to turn their “negative thinking” into “positive thinking”
Turning negative thinking into positive thinking can be tough when your beliefs are deeply ingrained. It is easy to feel powerless when in a negative mindset. Journaling can help you recognize what thoughts you are telling yourself which contribute to your own mood. One way to empower yourself is with thought replacement. The idea is to write down your negative thought, followed by the feeling this thought leaves you with (ie: “I am a failure because I didn’t pass my test. I might as well give up in this course now.” Feelings: Defeated, depressed, like a failure, sad, hopeless, disappointed). Then write down a replacement thought that is reality based and the feeling this leaves you with (ie: “I can get my mark up by hiring a tutor to help me study for the next test and I will pass the course.” Feelings: empowered, hopeful, relieved). Realizing that you have a choice to remain negative and defeated or empower yourself to be positive and feel better are motivating reasons to do the work behind this thought replacement training.
Does believing in yourself impact your performance on a certain task?
Believing in yourself greatly impacts the outcome of your performance. We are always telling ourselves messages that effect our confidence. If we tell ourself that we will fail at something, we will become anxious and fearful. This negative state sabotages our performance. If we expect to fail, we surrender control and confidence and run the risk of fulfilling our beliefs.
On the other side, if we set our expectation to succeed at something, and we truly believe that we will, the determination and resilience to persevere through the process will set us up for a positive outcome.
Groups
Just like past exhibitions, we were split into groups for presenting our projects. This year we were split between the light side and the dark side. I was on the light side because my inquiry question was about the force. The light side had 20 people, grade 8 and 9. The light side had the PLP room to set up our projects and decorate. Within main group (the light side) we had 3 different subgroups; environment/science, (movie) tech, and philosophical. We based the placings off of inquiry questions. I was in the philosophy subgroup along with 7 other people.

We decided that we would decorate the room as the rebel base on Hoth. The tech and philosophy subgroups were inside the rebel base, and the science group was outside the base. We separated each section with blankets, so it was easier to tell where each section started/ended. We also had an “Admiral snack bar” with different food and drinks, like Jedi juice and princess lays. For audience engagement we decided to put on a short skit every 15 minutes, and we also had a pin the lightsaber on yoga station. I was in the skit from the beginning of “A New Hope” because I was dressed as Princess Leia. We tried improv, but it didn’t work, so we just stuck to the scripted skits.
Creating
Of course, I couldn’t just stand in front of a table and talk about the research that I did. That would be pretty boring, and whenever I left my station (to do my skit or to help with pin the lightsaber on Yoda) there would be nothing for people to look at. So I decided to make a poster board and a box with a rock on top, (I’ll explain more about that later). The poster board was mostly so people could know what my project was about while I wasn’t there. I also had a “guessing game” on one side of my poster board, where you would read the description, then guess who it was about. When I was finished gluing stuff to my poster board I decided that it didn’t look like I wanted to. So I decided to paint stars on it, using white paint. 
The other display that I made was a cardboard box with a rock on top of it. The rock had a magnet on the bottom of it so I could move it with another magnet attached to a stick inside the box. I used this as a way to “demonstrate the force” to my audience. When I made this box I decided to use one of the lava rocks from Iceland, because they resemble “space rocks”. I added a white tablecloth to the box to give it a more finished look, and I added “The Force” to the front of the box with stickers.
The exhibition
At the exhibition we (the light side) decided to dress up. I dressed up as Princess Leia, mostly because my friends wanted me to do my hair in the famous Princess Leia buns, but partially because it was actually related to my project. I linked it to the fact that Leia couldn’t use the force until she believed in herself.
Overall the exhibition was really fun. It also went by a lot faster than the past two exhibitions. I presented to a wide range of people, but my favourite people to present to were the little kids who loved it when they got to “use the force”.
What I would do differently next time
Next time I would either make a better poster board, or not make one at all. My poster board was pretty boring to look at because there weren’t any photos on it. I would also spend less time researching, and more time building.
Winter exhibition
I know I talked about the mini winter exhibition in my last SLC, but this time I want to talk about a different part of it. For the exhibition I was the DRI of my group. This meant I was in charge of keeping my group organized, and going to the teacher whenever we had a question, request etc. To be honest, I don’t know why I signed myself up for this position in the first place, if I can barely keep myself organized. Our group had *some* difficulties with agreeing on stuff, and actually COMMUNICATING. But other than that it was fiiiinne I definitely learned about leadership skills during that *fun* time. I think it was worth it, but I wouldn’t exactly want to do it again. Even though I will probably have to.
Oregon
Oregon, like many other things this year has taught me more than I thought it would. You know, I’m starting to see a pattern with our work. It taught me about being responsible for my things. Girl Guides HAS taught me about this, but not as much as Oregon has. With Guides I’m only really responsible for my clothes, sleeping bag etc. With Oregon however, I was in charge of my passport (only for short amounts of time luckily), and I was in charge of money, and how I spent it. I also had to keep track of my iPad and Apple Pencil. Oregon also helped me become a lot closer to my friends.
DI
Destination Imagination was… fun? I don’t know how to describe my experience with DI, we (my team and I) definitely experienced some challenges along the way. Most if which I explain in my DI BLOG POST. 
If I were to quickly sum it up though, I would have to say the main problem was the work distribution. I’m not going to mention any names, because that’s not important. Some people did more work than others, and some people put in more effort and energy. DI taught me to see things from different perspectives, I’m not just talking about the main challenge when I say this. I’m talking about the main challenge, the instant challenge, and seeing the problem of work distribution from different angles.
Math
Math is a subject that comes somewhat easily to me. So far anyway. Since it doesn’t usually take me long to pick up on how to do something in math
, I usually help others. This sometimes means that I don’t finish all the textbook work, but that’s mainly so we get the idea. I actually enjoy helping people with math, which might come as a surprise to some. I think it mainly comes from my nature of wanting to help people
Notebook/sales pitch
I think the notebook and sales pitch taught me more about group work than it taught me about actual history, and how to pitch an idea to someone. It taught me about how to deal with *difficult* group members, and people in general. It taught me to pick my fights. But most importantly, it taught me to stick up for my friends, and for myself.
Science paints
I haven’t presented this project yet, so I can’t exactly tell you how it went. 
However, I can tell you about the slightly disgusting process. First we ground up some different coloured pigments. That was the fun part. We ground up Verdigris, Oak gal Ink, Red ochre, Charcoal, and Violet. That’s not the part I’m going to tell you about though. I’m going to tell you about our “fun” experience with making the pigments into paint. The less disgusting way of making them was to mix an egg yolk with the pigment, then slowly add water. This way was fun, because it didn’t smell like fish eggs. The second way of making these pigments was to grind up fish eggs with our saliva. It made the entire classroom smell like “soft but satisfying” salmon eggs. It also made our hands smell like eggs.
Areas for further improvement
I can definitely improve on many things. For example handing my work in on time, staying on task, not being a complete perfectionist when it comes to my school work. Last time, I focused on being a perfectionist. I haven’t accomplished much on this because, like I mentioned before, this will take quite a while to accomplish. I plan to be better at this by the end of next year. I will also work on balancing my work time with my spare time. I have already been working on this by setting a timer to work for 20 minutes, then taking a 5 minute break.
Biggest accomplishment?
If I had to choose my biggest accomplishment this year I don’t know what I would choose. 
There’s all of the in school awards, like my seyhawk award, or my outstanding grade 8 instrumentalist, or my trophy, medal and ribbons from DI. There’s also my outside of school awards and accomplishments, like my medal from my first ever tap competition, getting into pre-TapCo, doing a front tuck in trampoline, and. Then there’s my in school accomplishments. This includes coming to PLP, being a DRI of my group for the winter exhibition, becoming a mini teacher in math, and making all of my amazing friends here.
In my Destination Imagination Regionals blog post, I talk about regionals for DI (destination imagination). Now I will talk about provincials, and the process leading up to it.
After regionals
When we found out that imagination of 5 (my group for DI) was in third place we were ecstatic! We couldn’t believe that even though our vanishing act didn’t work, we came in third. We were happy to say the least, to be going to regionals alongside all of our classmates.
Prepairing for Provincials
Even though we didn’t get our scores at regionals, we did get feedback on our performance. Once we got back, on Monday we reread the notes and decided what to work on. We had to prioritize, because we only had ____ classes to prepare for provincials. We decided to change one of our team choice elements, from live music (singing with the ukulele) to a lightning bolt rainbow staff, because we got a very low score on it. We kept our other team choice element (costumes) but we decided that we would get a higher mark on it if we sewed them. Some of the fabric was difficult to work with because it was so fine. Luckily we didn’t have to change much when Sofia came back, all we did was give her the narrator part so Luca wouldn’t have to change in and out of her costume. We made some edits to the script (which I partly regret) to enhance our storyline.
The lightning bolt rainbow staff took a while to make, because; first we had to find a stick the right size for Syrah, then I whittled it, then over spring break, Alivia created the lightning bolt to go on top of the staff, after spring break, we covered the lightning bolt in white tissue paper and put a light inside, we wrapped rainbow tissue paper around the top of the stick, glued it all together, and we were done!
We also added a few props, and by a few I mean two. We added a sun amulet for citrine (me), and a wand for emerald.
During and after Provincials
We definitely did better job at Provincials. This could’ve been because we had more time to practice and improve. It also could’ve been the fact that we had one more person helping out “backstage”. Maybe it was just because we were more comfortable performing the second time around. Whatever the reason was, I know I’m very proud of my group and I for coming in second place in Provincials. Even though destination imagination was a fun experience, I think everyone (in my group at least) was glad once it was over.
Coming in second place means we could go to global stage, but we aren’t going, for multiple reasons, money being one of them.

A video of our performance will be up soon.
This blog post will be filled with highlights from the year so far. It will include an example if the work that I’m most proud of, an example of my learning, an example of my growth mindset and three goals that I have set for myself.
What work am I most proud of?
https://youtu.be/Pkugu4JRBfg
The work that I’m most proud of is definitely my work for destination imagination. I’m proud of how well my team and I worked Together and I’m proud of how well we did at regionals, despite the fact that our vanishing act didn’t work very well. The story that we created was very creative (in my opinion anyway) and we managed our time well (most of the time). We worked very hard and in the end you could definitely tell. When I heard that we came in third place out of all the groups that were competing in the fine arts category I was thrilled!

One example of my learning this year
One example of my learning this year is my work on advertising an advocacy. We started at the beginning of the year, where we made an advocacy ad about disasters caused by earthquakes. A tourist ad about one of our favourite places to go that is somewhat secretive or hidden. And a business ad where either our parents were the boss, or we knew the boss. I’ve written more about these ads in my advertising and advocacy blog post. During our trip in Oregon we made three more ads. We all made an advocacy ad about tsunamis, but we were split up into separate groups for our business and tourist ads. For our tourist ad, my group was assigned Fort Stevens non historical. Our business that we interviewed was the South Beach Fish Market. I wrote more about these ads on my going coastal post. I think I have really improved on my ads since the start of the year. I now have a better understanding of how to use pathos logos and ethos in my ads to make them better.
My growth mindset experience
In my mini exhibition blog post I explain how I had to completely change the design of my house a few days before the exhibition and normally that would make me really annoyed and think “why me? What did I do to deserve this?” But for some reason I wasn’t even that annoyed. If this happened at the beginning of the year however, before i knew about having a growth mindset versus having a fixed mindset I probably would’ve gotten really stressed. The final product would’ve probably reflected my mood at the time (meaning I would have done a poor job, just in case you couldn’t figure that one out). In the end I ended up loving my project and it was all thanks to my growth mindset.
My goals
I have set three goals for myself for the remainder of the school year. I will now explain what they are, and how I plan to achieve them.
My first goal is hand more work in on time. I will achieve this goal by staying on task, and not talk to my friends as much during class. This is definitely something that I will have to work on for the rest of the year, because I like to talk, A LOT. I know I can improve by the end of the year because at the start of the year I was much worse at focusing, but now, I’m not so bad.
My next goal is to make sure that all the work I hand in is work that I am proud of. To do this I will make sure that I proofread my work before I hand it in. If I ever wonder if my work is good enough I will revise it and make some edits until I know that it is more than just good enough. I will focus in class more, so I have more time to revise my work.
My third and final goal is to be more organized when it comes to my school work. I will do this by prioritizing my work when I am doing my homework and I will organize my work in my binder or on my iPad at the end of class. I will set aside five minutes just to organize my work so I don’t lose any of it.
I haven’t blogged about scimathics on my learning portfolio yet, so why now you may ask. Well we’ve been doing a lot of cool things in science and math and I figured it was time I told you about them. Also we were told to, but that’s not the point!
What is scimathics?
Scimathics is a combination of science and math. It is taught by Ms Klauses. She calls us her lambs/plamps/little lammies.We have scimathics every day because it is two blocks combined into one. I explain how this works more in my Day one Day two blog post.
At the start of the school year in scimathics we (PLP 8) were introduced to The rightness of being wrong. In September I wasn’t completely used to the idea that being wrong can be right but as the year carried on I became more comfortable with it. Now that I’m so comfortable with the idea of the rightness of being wrong when I’m in my other classes I am less stressed. This doesn’t mean that I put less effort into my work, just that if I fail or get something wrong, I don’t get as disappointed and I know that I can learn from my mistakes. This also ties into growth mindset and fixed mindset and learning from your mistakes.
What have we done this year?
Lemme/Llama
Our lemme project, or as Ms Klausen called it, our llama project was mostly about the Pythagorean theorem. We learned about the spiral of theodorus. We started out outside where she challenged us to first make a triangle using only three cubes. She then challenged us to create a curved line using straight lines, on a piece of paper. Then we were challenged to do the same thing, only this time we had to add right angles. I didn’t figure out how to make a curved line with right angles, but once she showed us the spiral of theodorus, I understood.
My door is a bore no more
for this project we got into groups of three and had to increase the surface area of a door by three fold. Even though we were in separate groups, we had to work together with the other groups to make sure that when we were done, the total surface area of the door was increased by three fold. To increase the surface area, we built 3D shapes out of paper and taped them to the door. Before this project we were working with surface area and volume, so we knew how to calculate surface area. At the end we wrote an engineering report on it.
Minecraft earthquake proof project
For this project we made an earthquake proof structure using Minecraft. We were in groups of two. Our main objective was to add earthquake proofing features to a 100×100 building. We had to choose an earthquake prone region of the globe and base our architecture off of the kind of buildings they have in that certain area. Tamara and I chose Ancient Greek/Rome. We painfully placed all 10 000 blocks down for the floor, 968 blocks for the pillars, all 429 blocks for the arches, 10 100 blocks for the roof and 260 blocks for the Y beams. If you think that was a lot, there was also the HUGE amount of blocks we had to destroy for the ocean that for some reason we decided to build, (it was actually so our landscape looked more like Ancient Greece). You know, that and the fact that we had to redo our structure about 6 times due to complications with running into mountains, rivers and TNT exploding too close to our building (that may or may not have been my fault). We made half of the building the same as how they were originally built, and added earthquake proofing features to the other half. Once we were done, we made a video explaining how our earthquake proofing features work.
These are all of the main projects that we have done so far. I will continually update this post as we learn more.
This past school year we have learned about a ton of cool and useful things, things like different camera angles, advertising and advocacy, how to code, we’ve even had a mini exhibition! One of the most useful things that we have learned about (in my opinion anyway) is learning to have a growth mindset. We have been working on having a growth mindset all year and I think that I have improved since the beginning of the year.
What is a growth mindset?
having a growth mindset means that you are willing to push yourself out of your
comfort zone and maybe even fail at something. You think things like, what could I do better next time or, if I fail I can learn from my mistakes and improve for
next time. If you have a growth mindset you want people to congratulate you on how hard you worked not on how smart you are. You believe that you can learn anything and you can get better at anything. You know that your effort determines more than your current abilities.
What is a fixed mindset?
Having a fixed mindset means you would rather put less effort into an 
assignment and get a good mark than put a ton of effort into an assignment and get a great mark. If you fail, you get frustrated and give up. If you have a fixed mindset you want people to congratulate you on how smart you are, not how hard you worked, because let’s be honest, you know you didn’t work as hard as you could have. You believe that you’re either good at something or you’re not. You think that your abilities determine more than the effort that you put in.
Most people have a mix of a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. In some areas
they know they can improve and they want to improve so they work really hard at that certain thing. In other areas however they don’t think they can get any better, so they don’t bother trying. Probably the most common thing to happen is for someone to know they can get better at something but they just don’t want to put in the time and effort it takes to get better at it.
My growth mindset experience
In my mini exhibition blog post I explain how I had to completely change the design of my house a few days before the exhibition and normally that would make me really annoyed and think “why me? What did I do to deserve this?” But for some reason I wasn’t even that annoyed. If this happened at the beginning of the year however, before i knew about having a growth mindset versus having a fixed mindset I probably would’ve gotten really stressed. The final product would’ve probably reflected my mood at the time (meaning I would have done a poor job, just in case you couldn’t figure that one out). In the end I ended up loving my project and it was all thanks to my growth mindset.
In class we made long term goals that we were willing to work towards and maybe even fail at. 
We had to make it one (max 2) sentence long and put it on a selfie or just a picture of us. We submitted them to showbie, our teacher Petra Willemse would either tell us something she wanted us to change or she would say “print” which meant that we didn’t have to make any changes and she was going to print it and put it up on the wall. When I handed in my first draft Ms Willemse told me to put some shading behind the letters, so I went into photoshop fix and drew it in by hand. I submitted it again and I got a print! My goal is now hung up in the classroom on public display next to the goals of my other classmates.
Here are the links to all the apps that I used to make my long term goal: pages, photoshop fix, showbie and snapseed.
Creation process
For humanities we had to come up with a question based on the environment and try to find an answer to it. Obviously it couldn’t be a yes or no answer. We wrote down our top three choices for what we wanted to research and submitted them to our teacher so she could approve one of our questions. My three questions (in order) were: 1) How can we differ housing to adapt to the rising sea levels? 2) How does changing currents affect prey? 3) in what ways can a lack of knowledge about sea life cause some sea animals to go extinct? The teacher (Ms Willemse) chose my #1 question and helped me reword it to this: How can I adapt my coastal housing so it won’t be washed away from the rising sea levels?
So I was very glad that I got my #1 question. I started by researching what is causing rising sea levels and how fast they are rising. After I discovered that sea levels are rising an average of 3.3 mm a year I had to think of why that would be a bad thing. I came up with a few reasons, if it takes that long to rise people won’t bother with rebuilding their house because they will think “oh I have lots of time. I don’t need to do this now”. In other words, they’ll keep putting it off then it might be too late to “renovate” their house. Another reason is: the water will saturate the ground near/underneath your house so after a while your house (most likely the basement if you have one) will rot. As soon as my question was approved I knew that I wanted to build a model of the house. My initial plan was to build a house on stilts, 
but then I was thinking about different ways to create a house that wouldn’t get washed away with the rising sea levels and I thought about possibly creating a floating house because a house on pillars might be too expensive.
I kept working on my “diagram” for the house on pillars though because 33% of people get seasick in “normal conditions” meaning small waves, and 66% of people get seasick in “bad conditions” meaning large waves, things you wouldn’t necessarily want to be on a boat in. 
So I decided to go with the pillar idea, until my friend pointed out that a house on pillars may not be very legal because of earthquakes. So the project was due in 5 days and I was basically back to the drawing board for the diagram. Luckily my research still applied to the new model that I was going to build. I did some more research about earthquake proof buildings in Vancouver to see if I could just add something to my current building and then this picture came up.
So it turns out that there is a building in Vancouver BC called The Qube that people are saying is earthquake proof, because in an earthquake the cables suspending the building would allow it to rock back and forth. As I was looking at that picture I realized that it was slightly raised off the ground, and since I was trying to create a house that wouldn’t get washed away with the rising sea levels I thought that I should base my building/house off it. Obviously I couldn’t make a direct model of the building, so I had to modify. First off, The Qube is not a house, it is a headquarters for Westcoast Transmission Co, and when I wrote my inquiry question I meant a home. So I came up with this 
. I had a lot of fun making the house and garden.
Group work
During the the mini exhibition I was the group leader. This was my first time ever being a group leader and I will admit, it was more stressful than I thought it would be. Since I was group leader I had to organize everything. I was in charge of making sure that everything we needed was going to be there, I had to tell people what to bring and where to set everything up. It would’ve been a lot less stressful if we had another week or so to make our projects but things got complicated with the Oregon trip being postponed. I think it would have also been a lot better if we distributed the work load better. I felt like there was a lot of work that I had to do for the exhibition, like: making a chart of where everyone would set up their projects/tables
Organizing who would bring what for our toss game (fake food, containers, pop cans etc)
Trying to sort out what group would get the projector
Figuring out how we wanted our corner of the room to be set up (ie decorations, what we would do with the whiteboard etc)
And on top of that I had to make my project for the mini exhibition.
Here are all my group members’ blogs/learning portfolios: Syrah , Luca O, Daniel , Lauren, and Tamara.
All though it may not sound like it, I enjoyed the exhibition a lot.
Turning negative thinking into positive thinking can be tough when your beliefs are deeply ingrained. It is easy to feel powerless when in a negative mindset. Journaling can help you recognize what thoughts you are telling yourself which contribute to your own mood. One way to empower yourself is with thought replacement. The idea is to write down your negative thought, followed by the feeling this thought leaves you with (ie: “I am a failure because I didn’t pass my test.

Then write down a replacement thought that is reality based and the feeling this leaves you with (ie: “I can get my mark up by hiring a tutor to help me study for the next test and I will pass the course.” Feelings: empowered, hopeful, relieved). Realizing that you have a choice to remain negative and defeated or empower yourself to be positive and feel better are motivating reasons to do the work behind this thought replacement training.
We decided that we would decorate the room as the rebel base on Hoth. The tech and philosophy subgroups were inside the rebel base, and the science group was outside the base. We separated each section with blankets, so it was easier to tell where each section started/ended. We also had an “Admiral snack bar” with different food and drinks, like Jedi juice and princess lays.

Next time I would either make a better poster board, or not make one at all. My poster board was pretty boring to look at because there weren’t any photos on it. I would also spend less time researching, and more time building.
