T-pol 2023

“Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. 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.”

So after that declaration i would like to initiate my transitional presentation of learning. So i am going to introduce the story of my learning in the second semester of school. So in the second semester i had only one plp class and that was humanities. I am going to reflect on the things that i think that i did well this semester and things that i think that i did sub optimaly.

The first thing i would like to talk about is: motivation. I think my performance in my plp classes is overly based on how motivated i am. So if i am liking a project i do very well and am often happy with how it turns out. So i think that i need to be better about this next year. I need to find ways of being more happy when i am doing a project that i donn’t like or we are learning about a subject that i do not like. So i need to find some ways of improving this. Ways that i could possibly fix these are having an open mind set breaking up work with stuff that i find interesting. I could also find ways of adapting projects so that i find them more interesting. Out of these options i think that adapting the projects a little bit is the one that i think will be the most relevant. The reason that i say this is because: i think that this can be done and it would have a good effect.

The second thing that i would like to talk are goals that i set and which ones that i think that i achieved and the goals that i think i need to continue striving to achieve/. The first goal that i set this year was: keeping a more open mindset about the different projects that i am going to have to do in my different classes. I think that i have done a good job of keeping an open mind. What i think that i need to do better after learning from reflection are: putting more effort into projects that i do not like. The second goal that i set was: do better in scimatics. I know that math and science were separated this semester but the goal still applied to the science part of it. I think that i achieved this goal because i really enjoyed this class. I did well and i think that my grades reflected that. The final goal that i set was to do better in my maker class and i think that i achieved that. A thing that i would like to add is even though i make this seem all negative I still thing that i did a really good job and did better this year then i did last year

The final thing that i would like to talk about is: my favourite project that i did this year and why i loved it. So there were two contenders for this but i chose the second one because it was the one that i did this semester so it is the one that i though was the most relevant. So the first project that i thought about was exiting electricity in the first semester in science class and the second project that i thought about was dulce et decorum est in humanities. The reason i chose the second project is because it is the one of the two that i did in this semester. So this was the project that i just showcased in the spring exhibition. My teacher for this project was Erin Madsen. What we did in this project was: learn about World War One and showcased it in a project at the exhibition. The reason that i loved this project was because i got to learn about a subject that i am really interested in and because i got to showcase my work in a way that i found really fun.

Thank you for coming to my T-pol. I think that this has been a really good period of learning reflection for me, and i appreciate you comments and criticisms.

A case for a nation

So this is the second spring exhibition that i have d with plp and i would say that it was my favourite and also the one that went the best. The reason that i think that this went well is because i really enjoyed this project and put my 100% into it and as a result i fell i was able to showcase my work very well.

So this blog post is about the exhibition and the project that the exhibition was on. For the first part of this blog post i want to talk about the project. So this project was called dulce et decorum est. So this project was on World War One. The first part of this project was focused on learning about World War One. We learn about the cause and consequence of the war, why the war was started. If you want to know why the war started encyclopedia britanica is a good source to learn about it. Once we knew why the war started we learned about what happened in Canada during the war. We learned about the social and political changes that happened during Canada during the war like women getting the right to vote, draft exemptions for status Indians(first peoples). Next we learned about the war effort so how many men went to fight in Europe (too many) the production on the home front.

We then had to choose what we are going to do for out projects. We brainstormed and picked our topic. My topic was discrimination in the military. For my project I focuses on bringing to light the service of black and indigenous peoples during the First World War. For my projects i made a keynote with b-role to, a paragraph for peoples to read and a model to kinda show how peoples would have been treated.

For the exhibition we decorated our room based on the theme of our projects (so World War One) we then presented them to the guest explaining why we made our exhibits. Each person made a presentation on a different part of the war. 

Thank you for reading.
