I recommend that you listen to the podcast episode above before reading this post, especially if you arenโt familiar with Deep Cove or the Heritage Society thatโs located there. Those two topics are what brought me to the project where the final product was that episode. The Deep Cove Heritage Society, as I explained in […]

Marvel & 1950โs?
Itโs the end of another week so hello blog! Today I completed milestone three, where I was able to present about a topic related to my podcast and how this topic has changed since the 1950โs. It was a great opportunity to have more knowledge about my topic before writing my podcast script, and to […]
Disneyโs Cinderella 1950
Hi blog, do you know the story of Cinderella? You probably do as itโs a story that has been re-told over and over again. Iโve been learning about the years after the Second World War in class, so what does Cinderella have to do with the 1950โs? During this time there were people with time […]
Technology after WWII
Hello blog, I have a lot to catch you up on as I havenโt made a post in a while. While I was gone I gained some photography skills and learned some cool science stuff in other classes but now Iโm back in the class that is the reason I write these weekly posts! Currently […]
Romeo & Juliet, a PLP Production
Hello blog. Considering that you are reading this post in the present, it would be appropriate to say that you are a modern audience. Now that we have established that, imagine logging into Zoom to watch a presentation of grade ten students reading William Shakespeareโs Romeo and Juliet word for word with no changes made […]

I briefly discussed this in my past podcast episodes when my co-hosts brought up how people even question if Shakespeare was a real person. Thatโs […]
What if Romeo & Juliet had Phones?
Hey blog. One of the things that has been on my mind this week is how sometimes in movies that have been created during a time iPhones are ubiquitous (look at me expanding my vocabulary and using words Iโve learned in class), that the writer makes the decision not to include the use of them […]

Zombies, Gnomes, and Shakespeare
Hi Blog. Did you know that โWherefore art thou Romeoโ doesnโt mean โwhere is Romeo?โ but rather โwhy is Romeo?โ. Maybe you did, however I did not know that and originally planned to open this post with something kinda dumb like โWherefore art thou blog post?โ. After a bit of research I found out what […]

An Unexpected Challenge
Hello Blog, Itโs time to talk about the DI provincials which were a bit different than usual. No one expected as we rehearsed, painted, and learned in preparation for the DI provincial tournament that the entire event would be canceled. Well it was not long after that a global pandemic did exactly that. Despite all […]
