About Me: My Learning Journey as a Grade PLP 10 Student

Who Am I?

My name is Caelum and I’m a Grade 10 PLP (Performance Learning Program) student and I do my learning through trial and error. My journey so far? A mix of growth, discovery, and a few lessons in what doesn’t work.

My Learning Techniques

1. Note-Taking That Works: Brevity

• Before: Overwhelming “bulk” writing that I rarely revisited.

• Now: Point-form notes highlighting key ideas, summaries, and questions for clarity and focus.

• Next: Continually refining my system as I grow.

2. Storytelling Across Mediums:

• Learned to turn dry facts into engaging narratives using questions, driving themes, and strong vocabulary.

• Focused on typography and visual storytelling to make ideas stand out.

• Tailored content for specific audiences to connect effectively.

3. Collaboration Skills:

• Evolved from pushing my own ideas to actively listening and including others’ perspectives.

• Learned that balanced teamwork creates stronger, more impactful projects.

These techniques aren’t just for school:

• Note-taking: Keeps me organized in creative projects like videos.

• Storytelling: Helps me communicate ideas clearly, whether in visuals or group settings.

• Collaboration: Prepares me for teamwork in school and beyond, like projects at SFU’s film school.

Final Thought

Learning is a journey, not a destination. These skills are just the beginning, and I’m excited to keep growing. And as always, have a great day.
