Read more "Terminal Presentation of Learning"Who here has heard of Dragons Den or Shark Tank. In case you haven’t heard of these shows, they are about people who come on the show with a business proposition for the hosts of the show, and the hosts then decide if they want to agree to the deal. For my most recent project […]
Read more "Into the Dragons Den"Have you ever wondered what it takes to be crazy. Well in this PLP Project, we learned a new meaning of crazy. It all started with the Apple “Crazy Ones” video. This video talked about how we need crazy people to change the world. In this case, the word crazy was used to describe the […]
Read more "Pikachu Presentation"Who am I going to be. The answer that I would like to say is an author, but that’s not the right answer to the question. If you were to ask what do you want to do when you’re older, then I would say an author, but these are two very different questions. No one […]
Read more "Who are you gonna be?"When asked to describe a Canadian, one of the first words that might pop into your head is the word: Sorry.

Probably because from grades 6-10 that’s been a big part of the school curriculum. But do we really need all that war? That’s what this project was about. This project was a very different one […]
Read more "The Importance of War (why we learn it)."For this project, I started by pondering what it is to be Canadian. One of the biggest definitions of Canadian identity is “not American”, but is that really true. While it is true that we aren’t American, what is the difference between Americans and Canadians.

Read more "tPOL: the book"MPoL. Again. Yaaaaaaaaay (because text doesn’t show this, this line is said with lots of sarcasm). In case you don’t know, MPoL stands for mid year presentation of learning.
