I wasn’t doing particularly well in this class before this project, and really needed to apply myself. So once the next project started in PLP, I told myself I wouldn’t give up without a fight, and I wouldn’t rest until I could prove to all of my teachers that I am a sophisticated learner. to do so, I thought back to previous projects that I wish I could’ve re-done and realized that a common trend was that I wouldn’t prepare enough before jumping into my product, and I wouldn’t constantly be checking up on the project success criteria. So for this project, I decided to “exploit” or use my resources more effectively. 

What I mean by that is using my teachers, family and friends to ask for critique on my work, especially with my writing which has improved it (sentence structure, vocabulary, elaborating), using the internet to do more meaningful research, making online drafts, and setting daily goals with reminders for myself to stay on track, and always be checking the project success criteria to make sure my project is on track. So with my last BCFP/Humanities project of the year (the exhibition project), I set out to make my product the best that I possibly could to make sure I make something I’m proud of. In the end, I had my best exhibition ever. 

I spent countless hours planning, and then putting together my physical poster board. I spent hours making a movable showcase for my plants, then going in the wild and to florists to procure the pants. I even spent hours practicing what I’d say about my project to the many people attending the exhibit. All in a week. So once the day of the exhibition came, even with the small number of days to prepare, I came to the exhibition with a product that I was incredibly proud of, which shows just how much of a sophisticated student I can be.
