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.
Hi, my name is Lucas and this is my transitional presentation of learning. Today i will be talking out all the work that we have done over this school year, how much I have grown and if i think that im ready to go to grade 9.
My Goals
Some of the goals that i set for my self in the mpols were to work on my communication skills(presenting, talking in front of people, etc). I think that I got much better at communicating and speaking to groups of people. I feel like i speak clearly and get my point out. One other goal that i set was to Focus more in call and listen when someone is speaking. I think that i got much better at this, I am more productive in class and I listen better than before. It helped to use different apps to organize my work and get it done easier and more efficiently.
My Projects
From the start of the year we have had many projects. My work as really improved from the start of the year, my paragraphs are more detailed and well written. One of the first projects that we worked on was the “outsider’s looking in” we had to read the outsiders book and write and make a poster for it. All of my skills that I used for that project have really improved and my work has gotten much better.
.
The next big project that we worked on was the “Radical innovations” we had to make a triptych. I feel if we had to do that now i could make it much better and improve the overall quality of the triptych.
Another big project that we worked on was the Consequences Of Colonization. We learned about the European colonization. We made reinterpreted images made by C.W. Jeffery’s and a video explaining the reinterpreted image and explaining colonization as well.

Our most recent project was the media is the message. We made an advertisement for a company that we visited in our school trip to Oregon. The company that I had given to me was Clark’s restaurant, we had to interview them and research about the company to help to find information to help with advertisements that we have to make. We learned about all of the techniques that people use in advertisements and how to make a good ad.

These are my first and last draft of the ad
Exhibitions
The first every exhibition that I did was the winter exhibition, the project that i made for it was based on corporate greed. Using a shoe box and clay i showed the forests getting destroyed by the government not caring about the life that is in the forest. I think that the winter exhibition went better than the spring exhibition.
For the spring exhibition we had made an advertisement for a company that we visited on our way to Oregon. In the spring exhibition our group communicated better and got our stand up faster than at the winter exhibition.
Driving Question
Now to answer the driving question of the Tpols, (why do you feel that you are ready to advance to the next grade) I feel like all of my work and skills have improved a lot over this school year and I understand all of the work better. I also feel like i have grown a lot over this year. I think that i am ready to move up to face harder challenges and face different obstacles to get even better.
