Seriousness (but not really)

Hello! I’m returning with another SLC post! Because apparentally we need two. So, anyways, in this post I’ll be talking about:

One Thing I Am Proud Of

One Thing I Am Not Proud Of

My Reflection On My Work

Let’s do this.

I am most proud of:

My Shakespeare Play. Pretty much, if you didn’t hear about it from this post, what we had to do was take a scene or two from the play “The Tragedy Of Julius Ceasar” and then make it modern. We chose the scene where Brutus kills himself and then Antony and his men come along and stop the battle because they realized that the battle is causing too much blood shed and all that. It’s a really emotional part of the play, as it’s the final act.

So we made it modern. We made all of the characters rivalling gang members, and then made Brutus, who we named Bruce, jump off a building. It was really well done, and we had all of our lines memorized. But our actual Preformance was done first thing Monday morning as Sam hadn’t been there on the Friday. It was hard because we had limited space and Spencer forgot what to do. It would have been much easier to just have someone sub in as Sam on Friday when we were ready.

.

I’m really proud of this because we worked hard on it, and I think if we had done the Preformance on the Friday it would have been one of the best ones there.

I am least proud of:

My science project. So, for this science project, we had to make a project that told the story of how Raven brought the light. Sounds easy enough, right?

Yeah. It was one of those moments. I had a nice plan to do a lamp shade with all the aspects of how Raven brought the light. It would have been really cool. Then we were informed that our project had to include:

• colour
• opacity
• translucency
• Transparency
• A prism
• a cylinder
• reflection
• refraction
• something about Ibn-al-haythem

Yay. That made my job a lot harder now. The final product of Thai wasn’t very good. I didn’t even take a picture I was so ashamed. It was pretty much a sad little tissue box painted black, with a glasses lense in one end with the silhouette of a raven, and then a few tinfoil stars. Not impressive one bit. I didn’t even have the written out description that we were supposed to have.

If I were doing that now, I probably would have prepared a bit better and maybe put a LOT more effort into it.

Reflection on my work

I think this year my work has been quite good. I could have worked a bit harder on a few things, like my worlview EE and my Science project. I think that looking into the future, maybe working a bit harder on assignments I didn’t want to do and handing my work in on time would be smart. I’m going to really try and work on that next year.

So, to sum it all up, this year has been a great year for me. I’m proud of most of my work, some not so much, and I’m going to try and work on doing my work better in the future by working on it more.

So that’s all folks! Thanks for reading this, and if I’m presenting this, thanks for being here. As always

So, this post is about my Student Led Conference, or SLC. In this, I’ll be showing off three pieces of work: One thing that I’m proud of, one thing that shows my growth as a learner, and one thing that shows my growth mindset.

Something that I’m proud of:

This year, I’m really proud of this year would have to be my science project on digestion. Not only does it have all the mandatory info for the digestion process, it’s also entertaining.

The Digestion Project Is Here

So, I’m really proud of this because it looks good, it teaches all the mandatory things, and I put a lot of effort into the stop motion. I worked on this with Willa, and she did some of the editing and the text parts. Together it turned out really great, and I hope we get a good mark (We haven’t been given a mark for it yet)

Something that shows my growth as a leaner:

I think that this one would have to be my Destination Imagination project.

I think it showed growth with my teamwork, because normally I’m used to doing everything on my own, and I don’t really do a lot of teamwork, but this really showed me that I can’t do everything on my own, and that if I’m in a team we all need to work together.

A great example of this would defiantly be working on the script. I was set on doing the script on my own, it was my thing. But then I got serious writers block, and I realized that this was exactly why we had a team, so that if someone got stuck we just got someone else to help. So I got help. Another thing was just at the start in general we were all just “we each have our own jobs, we work on that”. That was a good plan, but we really weren’t a team. So we had to use teamwork, and combine ideas. That really helped me with teamwork.

Actually, DI also helped me with my presentation skills. I used to hate doing presentations. I never spoke loud, I always looked at my feet, I had no confidence. But then we did our first Preformance of this, and we realized how much we needed to work on. First of all, our Preformance was supposed to be traverse staging. We completly ignored that, and face only one way. The next one was that we talked way to quietly. No one could hear us! And we didn’t have much confidence. We had our scripts with us, and we didn’t look at the audience. But then we did our second one, and we improved. Eventually, we got to the tournament, and we did great! This really helped me with presentation skills.

Something that shows growth mindset:

I think that the thing that showed the most growth mindset for me was  our Stitch in Time unit, or our quilts. When I found out we were making quilts, I didn’t have to have anything to do with it. But I decided to seize the challenge. I was put in a group with Sofia, Robbie, and William.

Then it came to writing the story. By the end of the period, we had nothing. But, instead of giving up, we decided to keep on going. We texted each other that night, and by the next class, we had a story. We wrote it no problem.

We next had to make the quilt squares. It was hard, because we got a lot of critisisms. But instead of thinking ‘ah, no. We suck at this’ we improved. And then we printed it, and it looked great

All we had left was to stitch the quilt and frame it. It took a lot of effort. I mean a lot. But we did it, and now it looks like this:

Fabulous, isn’t it? Yeah. I think that really showed my growth mindset.

So, that’s it! I did it!

Well, that’s all for this post!
