Hello everyone! Welcome to my fPOL! Wait, what? An fPOL? What’s that?! I thought is was just an mPOL and a tPOL! I am calling this “POL” an fPOL because it is my FINAL presentation of learning! Thanks in advance for listening.

I am least proud of my slam poem. I am most proud of my Frankenstuffie movie trailer.

I really struggled with the slam poem because I enjoy the pure facts rather than the emotional part of a story.

The most interesting thing, or things I learned this year was all about Canadian nationalism and government propaganda, especially the big difference between myth and reality. The most boring thing I learned this year was about Leviathan. Did not enjoy. I enjoyed things I found interesting.

I approached different projects differently because how much I liked the topic. For example I was not looking forward to the emotional portion of the Industrial Revolution project, but I was looking forward to the fact and paragraph writing part. I definitely put more effort and time into the paragraph than the slam poem. I decided to spend more time and allocate more time towards the paragraph than the slam poem.

I failed this year at my first draft of the frankenstuffie story. My first idea had no character development, and wasn’t thought out very well, but I redid everything and made a really good story with a world completely different that really fit the sci-fi theme of the project.

All of the work I made this year met my standards. Sometimes it took multiple drafts, but all of my work got there.

1984 and 1/2 is a great example of this!

I used my writing skills for most of my projects, like writing stories, paragraphs, and poems.

My goals for my work did not change as I worked on it because the goals for the assignments did not change.

I felt dissatisfied during the process of PLP work because the keystones for the ww1 project felt very underwhelming, and I felt like I wasn’t really making anything except for the propaganda posters that I made, which I am really happy and proud of. I felt like I learned a lot from that project.

If I could change one thing about my work this year, it would be going to the museum so I could actually do the first keystone of the ww1 project.

One thing I saw in my classmates work was Charlie Ritchie’s frankenstuffie video. I thought his movie trailer, story, and character design was amazing and extremely original and well thought out.

Something I felt frustrating in PLP work is how Socials and English is put together. I feel like I haven’t really improved my English and writing, and sometimes some projects will either do no English at all, and some will have half English.

I’ve enjoyed my 2 years at PLP, and I am excited to move on to grade 10. Thank you for listening and spending time to listen to my fPOL.
