WW1 comic 

Making the comic is very fun, However I should’ve manage my time better while making the  comic. We had about two weeks to make the comic but I should’ve used more of the two weeks and manage my time better during those two weeks I should have set up my comic and done better visuals and use my time better before exhibition happened. I have realized now that I need to learn how to manage my time better and make a schedule for each project so I know what to get done for each time even if PLP this year was less organized I should still be able to manage my time better than I did this year. It was a great learning experience overall and I know now that time management is key in successfully completing any project. I will take this lesson with me and apply I will use my time wisely and prioritize tasks effectively. Despite the challenges, I am proud of the comic I created and the effort I put into it. I will push to improve my time management skills and continue to create work that I am proud of.

“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.”

What I said for my pols 

I would like to improve on time management skills. My long term goal is to be able to start an assignment on time. I find that I will procrastinate on completing my homework and prioritize other things that I am interested in. If I can stay focused on completing my assignments, rather than avoiding them until the day before they are due, I will have time to put more effort and detail into my work.

Italian nationalism 

It’s good that you covered all the topics.

It’s has a good charm

When talking talk like this a presentation/being louder.

You stay on the map for quite some time.

Also talking faster would help.

Fixing the audio to.

The overall coverage of topics is Great. Gino takes his time explains the event and relating it to nationalism. The charm of video looks pretty funny and gave me a laugh. Having a more presentational voice and speaking louder would make it easier to understand. Additionally, increasing the pace of your speech can be beneficial. Over all the video wasn’t the best and I would give it developing. Improving the audio and visuals is what I would focus on in the future. Developing ⛅️ .

I want to use this critique for the next video so I can make a better video with it I want to make a more engaging content and improved audio and visuals. With the critique, I want to be better videos and have better audio. Next time I want to have better visuals in my video and put a lot more effort into later projects.

Growth Plan form my pols

I want to get better at completing my homework. Ways that I can be successful in this area are by managing my time better and putting my phone away so it is not a distraction and asking my teachers and parents for help when I need it rather than avoiding the work and not doing it. If I can remind myself to stay focused, I can be more successful in completing my work.

My growth plan

I want to get better at managing my time during school hours and making a schedule so I know exactly what to do during school and I know exactly what to do for the rest of my day. I want to schedule out school and other activities I have after school. During projects I will make a schedule, so I get it done on time and have it where I won’t be tired at the end of the project.

How does the geography affect the West?

The project focused on the importance of geography and how it shapes our daily lives. The driving question was how the geography of the west has shaped who we are. We learned about the five themes of geography – location, place, human environment interaction, movement, and regions. We also learned about the significance of the kelp forest in the ecosystem. Additionally, we were required to create a video at home showing what inspires us and why.

 Loon Lake

The trip to Loon Lake provided an opportunity for students to learn about teamwork, personal growth, and stepping out of  comfort zones. Through personal exercises, and activities such as trust falls, students were able to connect with each other on a deeper level and gain a better understanding of me and my classmates. Overall, the experience was valuable in teaching the importance of trust, personal reflection, and the ability to stretch comfort zones in order to grow.

Louis Riel

Louis Riel is celebrated as a hero by the Métis people for fighting for their rights against the Canadian government, but he is also seen as a threat by the government. His legacy continues to shape discussions on Indigenous rights in Canada, highlighting the ongoing struggle for justice. Understanding the complex narratives surrounding Riel can lead to personal growth, increased empathy, and a commitment to advocating for justice and equality.

Winter Exhibition

Creating a Rube Goldberg machine to symbolize the French Revolution was a valuable and fun learning experience for our group. Each member contributed their skills and ideas, and we collaborated to connect them all in a chain reaction. I crafted a guillotine out of cardboard, which took several attempts to accurately hit a ball. Despite some challenges, I enjoyed the process and learned important problem-solving skills, resilience, teamwork, and adaptability.

D.I

 There are 4 categories: Fine Arts, Technical, Science, and Engineering. I was in Science, paired in a group with Esther, Lila, Christian, and Charlie. As a group, we were struggling with ideas. I made the suggestion that we should focus on Egypt but as a group we talked about Atlantis. Unfortunately Atlantis was already being used by another group, so we went back to ancient Egypt. It was a month of just planning and getting our group materials ready for our presentation before we were able to put our attention to building. Everyone was trying to complete their puppet and team choice element. It was quite chaotic and felt disorganized. We were all trying to get stuff done for regionals.

When the results were announced, we were ecstatic to hear that we had won second place in the Science category. All our hard work had paid off and validation for all the effort we had put into the project.

Looking back, I realized that the journey we went through as a team was just as rewarding as the final outcome. I made friends through the challenges we overcame. The joy of success we were all part of and shared as a group is an unforgettable experience that I will always treasure.

When we came back to the provincials, my group was down two team members. The challenges were much more difficult without the whole group. I also felt that everyone who participated at the provincials were better than those who were at the last event. It was way harder and stressful on everyone, but still fun. I enjoyed that I got to improve. It was a pretty good performance in my opinion. It was a true test of our teamwork and adaptability. I was proud of how we handled the situation. In the end, it was a memorable experience that brought us even closer as a group.

Everyone was trying to complete their puppet and team choice element. It was quite chaotic and everyone was try to get stuff done.

Lila and Esther made the backgrounds esther made the puppet Christian did the script I did the story Charlie did the forms 

Everyone had their own unique strengths that contributed to the project. Despite the challenges and time constraints, we worked together to bring our vision to life. As the deadline approached we struggle to get stuff done.

However the communication was not the greatest and it should have been better for us but we got everything done so it worked out 

On the day of the competition, we were nervous but also proud of what we had done as a team. The judges were impressed by our creativity, and teamwork. Our presentation went mostly smoothly.

I learned that Louis Riel is seen as a hero by the Métis people and is celebrated for his impact on their community. However, there is also tension and differing perspectives on Riel’s legacy, with some viewing him as a threat to government authority. These discussions a build a clearer narrative, it is important to understand and acknowledge the complex narratives surrounding Riel. 

A better understanding about the ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights can help individuals develop a greater sense of empathy and understanding towards Indigenous peoples in Canada. This understanding can lead to more inclusive and respectful interactions with Indigenous communities.

Louis Riel: Hero or Threat? the Complex Legacy of a Métis Leader

While the Métis view Louis Riel as a hero who fought for them against the Canadian government, the government saw him as a threat to their power. Riel was born on October 22, 1844, in Saint-Boniface, Red River Settlement. He died on November 16, 1885, in Regina, Saskatchewan, leaving a significant impact on Canada. He fought for the rights of the Métis, but his actions, including the killing of Canadian people, were seen as a threat by the British Canadian government. Louis Riel can be described as a vigilante, as he did not listen to the government’s rules but instead establish a new one.

Louis Riel is portrayed as a righteous man who believed in the justness of his actions. He fought against the Canadian government as a Métis leader in order to secure rights for his people. The Heritage Minute we watched provides insight into Riel’s perspective and his expectations of the outcome of his actions. The video shows how his influence matter and puts light on his thoughts on his final day.

Riel was born during a time of tension between the Métis and the Canadian government in the Red River Settlement. He emerged as a leader, fighting for Métis rights, which earned him hero status among the Métis community. However, the Canadian government viewed his actions as rebellious and criminal, perceiving him as a threat. Riel’s execution in 1885 only served to deepen the divide in opinions about him. Today, Riel’s legacy continues to discussions on Indigenous rights in Canada, highlighting the ongoing pursuit of justice.

Our experience creating a Rube Goldberg machine to symbolize the French Revolution was a valuable and fun learning opportunity. Each member of our group contributed their individual skills and ideas, and we collaborated to connect them all together in a chain reaction. The process of planning and building the machine taught us important problem-solving skills.

Using materials such as cardboard I with my friend Liam crafted the guillotine. The blade, which would eventually drop to hit a ball to hit dominoes and then trigger the next step in the machine. It took several attempts to get it accurately hit the ball.

I created a guillotine the guillotine one of the most iconic symbols of the French Revolution was my contribution to our Rube Goldberg machine. I spent hours constructing a miniature version of this infamous idea. My goal was not only to include it as a representation of the revolution but also have it work. 

Reflecting on the experience, I realized the importance of double-checking and having a better time plan to allow for any necessary adjustments and corrections. However, regardless of the outcome, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of creating the Rube Goldberg machine. The project taught me resilience, teamwork, and adaptability.

What is loon lake 

Loon Lake is a lake located in the wilderness of Canada that serves as an outdoor education center for the UBC. It provides a space for students to learn the importance of teamwork and experiences the activities they do in the surrounding forest. The lake and its surroundings offer a peaceful environment for personal reflection and growth, allowing people to disconnect from the modern world and discover their strengths. 

What I learned

I learned about how to work as a team and how to learn that not everything you do will go right the first time you do it.  we learned about what it means to be a group and how to lead a group of people that you don’t know on a personal level. Jono I taught us how to accept to trust each other on Thursday, we did trust falls off of a chairon a table. It was very fun but you have to trust the people who are catching you. I learned that I could get could go to my comfort zone and try new things I wouldn’t normally do. With getting out of my comfort zone. Learning that I can learn stuff that I normally wouldn’t do I actually liked going on this trip I learned how I can stretch my comfort zone and be more happy. 

We learned each other on a personal level we went to the gym and we did an exercise called crossing the rope. Jono asked personal questions we learned about people that we might not know what you’re going through and you learn that you’re not alone with what you’re going through.  it was a hard thing to do because you could cross the rope and answer that question and then he would ask me to look around and see who’s with you and  who’s not with you. You felt all empty and compassion during that exercise for people that you don’t really know.

Overall 

Overall, this trip was very interesting to go on and learning about people that you spend a lot of time with in your classroom and learning about personal stuff about them and then bring personal stuff you. I learned to stretch my comfort zone and to trust people doing the trust falls. It was scary because you don’t know these people that well but through the trip you get to know them and you get to and trust that they will catch you. I learned a lot through this trip. Now I need to learn how I can use this in day-to-day life.
