Impact! 💥

Dear readers, there are some crazy people out there who has shaped and changed our community. They are the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. With our latest project “Cray, Cray, yay, yay”, we will define those who shaped our community as a whole.

For this project, we had to make a portrait of our chosen community impact maker. I chose Lucien Lessard, who is the last living survivor of the collapse of the second narrows bridge. Lucien has a big focus on continuing the remembrance of his friend he had lost during the collapse, and so I decided to make my portrait in the format of an I Survived Book, since like the disasters in the series of books, the collapse was also very much real, and was labeled as the worst engineering disaster in BC.


In the portrait i chose the paint a picture of Lucien holding his well deserved trophy for surviving the collapse.

This project made me realize how much people there is that really shaped our community it wasn’t just those who were famous that were stars that change the world after all not all heroes are in the light!

Anyways, I do hope everyone has a very nice summer stay hydrated! was also very much real, and was labeled as the worst engineering disaster in BC.

It’s the final count down!⏱

Welcome to my transitional presentation of learning, thank you all for coming. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.

accomplishments and improvements

after the mPOL, I worked on the goals I set for my self in the learners plan which was to  expand my creative thinking and manage my schedule. Over time I saw that my work was being handed in on time and my thinking was expressed through my work and ideas. An example of this was during the cray cray yay yay project I used my creative thinking to connect the previous project where I did the history of the second narrows to the current project where I did the last living survivor of the incident which happened on the second narrows. On the loon lake trip I challenged myself to get to my goal which was to step out of my comfort zone. I think I met that goal and by the end of the trip I got to get closer to other classmate who weren’t my friends.


Fails and flops

Something that I think could have gone better this year was my researching on my projects, identifying trustable and untrustworthy sites, determining wether something is an important part of this research, and to fact check things. Another thing I should work on is to not get distracted by people and noises around me, especially when I know I have things to do. This goal can be obtained by practice and if there is any advice on this matter please do address it in the comments below.

Skills learned and to be learned

I have learned lots this year and one of those many skills are the skill of being able to express my thinking through showing my learning and work. Another skill I have learned this year is the ability to manage my schedule and time to fit everything in, like art, piano, homework, and other appointments. For example if I know I won’t have time on Thursday to finish homework that’s due on Friday I would try to finish that work on Wednesday.

Conclusion

I’m very thankful of my teachers and peers who had taught me so much this year, I’m able to move on to the next grade because I was taught to express my thinking in a way to make my work and ideas sophisticated and enhance the experience of others viewing my work.
