Girl Power

After the longest ten weeks of my life, that’s a wrap! The first quarter of this crazy school year is complete, and that means that so is the first half of PLP 12. Somehow, I made it out and am alive to tell the tale, so here goes. As you would know if you frequent…

Pics, Pamphlets, and Perspectives

Undoubtedly the strangest I have experienced, these opening weeks of the school year have gone by faster than I could have ever imagined. An absolute whirlwind, adjusting to the new normal at school has proven to be quite an interesting ordeal. The advent of an accelerated format was certainly a rude awakening, kicking off the…

A Story Of Progression

With the current state of the world and the lifestyle we have all felt, I finally have an excuse for that feeling of time passing at strange speeds. On one hand, its ridiculous to think Im headed in to grade 12, my final year at high school, but on the other hand, my god does…

Macbeth Meets the 50s

6 months later and let me just say that this isn’t the way I expected this unit to come to a close. From scheduling issues to equipment failure, a global pandemic was last on the list of things I would have bet on ruining our film. It has now been 3 months since we ground…

Becoming Daniel 2.0

Without a doubt, this year of PGP has been the best impactful on me, and has genuinely helped shape me in to the person I am right now. When I look back on the Daniel from September, I was so much less in tune with my goals and ambitions, and ever since Atomic Habits has…

How I’m A Poet And Didn’t Even Know It

To finish off the first term, PLP 11 completed a unit combining Star Wars with poetry, guided by the driving question: How can we use poetry to reflect our perspectives on people, places, issues and beliefs? Our goal for the project was to learn how this question can be answered through learning about the poets…

Drinking The Kool-Aid

Just over four weeks ago, PLP 11 dove in to the topic of tribalism, and it’s implications on our world today. Guided by our driving question: “What is the role of tribalism in society?”, we quickly set to work learning and forming our opinions on the topic. To compliment and extend our learning of tribalism,…

120 Hours In The Desert

It has now been almost three weeks since me and the rest of the PLP 11 family returned home from New Mexico, and I’m still coming down off of it. It was an amazing trip, and it made me realize that from here on out it’s pretty much impossible to rank the PLP trips we’ve…

Our Beautiful Backyard

The best field study to date, PLP 10’s Trip around B.C. was truly an experience I will never forget. There were so many amazing aspects to this trip that amazed me, however there was one in particular that inspired me more than anything; the natural beauty. B.C. is world-famous for its natural attractions, but as…

Creating The StreamSpinner

Over the past month or so me and my classmates have been hard at work in Scimathics, working on the last big project of the year; Energy Capture. Now having just completed the project, its the time to take look back on it. Heading in to the project, our task was to create a device…
