Hello, blog that I sometimes post on, it’s me. Wow… I sound like Adele, well, sort of. Anyways, class has been super busy lately, with our English exam out of the way, we started “Canadian History” in Social Studies. We were told that as we work through the unit, there will be a few large performance projects.

So in this post I will be sharing with you a performance task, diving deep into a the right to vote in Canada and how it transitioned from a privilege to a right. I worked with Anatolia, to create an Explain Everything, that was informative and interesting. We had a pretty small time frame to finish our project, mostly because we should know the drill. We should know how long it takes and all the elements that make a good Explain Everything. But Anatolia and I had a few difficulties in finishing it.

The first being that I don’t think we are the greatest partners for these kind of projects. We are best friends and we do a lot of talking. Mostly not related to the work. So that’s why we agreed to not work together on small important projects anymore, it makes more sense and we will probably work harder and more efficiently.

The second difficulty was the fact that I went on a two week vacation halfway through the project, which meant we had to work on it long distance style. Honestly, I just didn’t want to do it, and I began calling it “The Right To Vote Explain Everything That Never Went Away”.

I was putting it off so I could relax like I should have been, instead of worrying about it. But I did end up pulling my weight and working with Anatolia to complete it.

Here it is:

For this Explain Everything, Anatolia and I decided to split the work in two ways, because we knew that I was leaving. But before I left, we managed to make an outlining storyboard to aid us in the creating of the “EE”. So, afterwards, I was in charge of writing the script, and she was the creator of the actual “EE”. This wasn’t a terrible idea, as long as I finished the script quickly so she could make the Explain Everything, which didn’t happen as planned, as I said above.

But eventually it did, and we finally finished our dreaded performance task and answered how the right to vote went from a privilege to a right.
