How have I demonstrated growth as a learner so far this year?
Thank you for reading this blog post; 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 reading
“Handel with care” was the first projected we completed in science this year. The driving question was “in what ways have human being impacted the delicate cycles whiten our local environment and how can we lessen the impact.” In this project we made a food web sketch, news report and a coupled social media posts. I liked how it had aspects that I completed in a group, and some things I did myself. This was an important project because it was teaching us about the importance of protecting of ecosystems and ways we could help! It was a good chance to work with other people and try to set good team working habits for the rest of the year.
Our trip to Alberta was an amazing learning opportunity. I really enjoyed getting to know my class more over the trip. Because your stuck in a bus with 20 other people for a week you have a chance to form relationships that can help collaborative work through out the year. Getting to know how people think and learn is really important in group settings and i think the bonds I formed with some of the other students helps me work more comfortably with them. The actual project for the trip was to learn about the power of geography and when your with other people I leant that everyone is going to see something differently and its important to notice everyone else’s views.
My favourite project so far was our first film! Im really interested in film and its something I spend a lot of time with out side of school so it was really interesting to learn more about it. I spent a lot of time on my film because its something I enjoy. Something I could work on is trying to spend the same effort on projects I’m not passionate about. Seeing Avatar with school was interesting because we related it back to real life. The themes in Avatar are very relevant in our world and since we were able to chose what theme to make our films about I was able to make a documentary about something I’m very passionate about. When i found out we were making documentaries I was disappointed because I couldn’t see how making documentaries could be creative but when I got in the forest and started filming I ended up spending a lot of time on my film.
When looking back on my blog posts from this year I noticed how many I did not complete. When I look in pages there are lots of documents with a few starting sentences for the blog posts but they were never completed. When I get stuck on a project I generally just stop working on it and it never gets completed. In the science project “Life as we know it” I completed all of the keystones and I did them quite well but In Showbie the l have an incomplete beside the blog post.
This semester my goal is put effort into every project even the ones I’m not very interested in and to complete blog posts and not just give up when I get stuck. Thank you for reading happy 2023!
