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…

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…

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…

How My Dream Became A Reality

One thing that I have been constantly working on throughout the year that hasn’t been posted on my blog here, is my Performance Growth Plan. The goal of PGP is to help us PLP learners find a way to achieve more through a process of expanding what we already know about goal setting and self…

Food, Filming, and Freezing Fingers

As part of our Cray Cray Yay Yay unit, PLP 10 took a trip down to Seattle to explore what it had to offer in terms of craziness. From crazy mindsets to crazy innovation, this city just south of us had everything we could have asked for to help us get a grasp at what…

Disregarding Doubt

IIf you have been following my blog since the beginning, by now you may have seen a pattern in terms of what kind of work I, alongside my classmates, are doing at certain times of the year. Within PLP there are a few annual traditions that we always know are coming, yet they still remain…

AlgeBros

Our latest math assignment was a partner project where we were focusing on Algebra, more specifically, Algebra Tiles. Our job was to create a game that featured algebra tiles and required players to practice their algebra skills. I partnered up with Marshall and we got brainstorming on what direction we wanted to head with our…

DAN does DNA

We’ve been doing a lot of video making in PLP lately, and science is no exception. We have recently concluded a unit all about DNA with the driving question “Can cousins be identical?” This question would be answered by demonstrating our understanding through a video including all the content we learned about. My partner was…
