“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.”

I have been completing work on time for almost the whole school year with only a few slips here and there. I think this is important for next year because it will prepare me for better grades and help me develop good habits. I can continue to do this by avoiding procrastination and other bad habits. To maintain this habit, I can use calendar apps or productivity tools like Things to stay organized and on track. With consistent work, I believe I can have a successful next school year.

One great habit I have is making sure I bring everything I need to school each day. For example, I always have a fully charged iPad, pencils, paper, and other necessary supplies. This is important because you need these tools to stay on track and be prepared for class. Without these items, I would have to ask around for either a charger or a pencil, which would distract me and make it harder to focus on what the teacher is talking about. Staying organized and having what I need helps me pay attention and keep up with the lessons.

I’ve been good this year about using my iPad properly and not for gaming. Last year, it was tough to stay off the games since using iPads was new to me. Avoiding games made a big difference in my schoolwork. I became more productive both in class and at home. I finished my assignments on time, my grades improved, and I could focus better during lessons, which helped me understand the projects more. Overall, staying off games helped me develop better study habits and manage my time more effectively

World war 1 project was influential because I had been wanting to learn about the world wars but was never taught. This was my favourite project, not only of PLP but also of all my school career. Ive always. Been fascinated in old mysteries or wars. World war 1 had both mysteries and war so I found it very fascinating. This project I felt could have been spaces out a bit better, with about a week less learning and more time to work on our comic books. IM not sure if other people felt the same way but the learning went very fast in a good way but I feel like we still needed more time for the actual project part of it.

Destination Imagination really got us ready for what’s coming next year. At the beginning, we weren’t totally ready, but somehow, we made it happen. When the second round rolled in, we were much better prepared, mainly because all our group members were on board. But looking back, one thing I’d change about the project is partnering up with the grade 10s. It was a hassle trying to sync our schedules, either skipping our own classes or dragging everyone to tutorial sessions. If we had stuck with our own grades, planning during class time would’ve been a lot easier.

I feel like I’m ready for grade 10 for many reasons. For starters, last year I set a few goals for myself for this school year. One of my main goals was to finish my assignments early, and I have achieved this goal with only a few late assignments throughout the entire year, both in the first and second semesters. I was able to accomplish this by using the app “Things,” which helped me a lot this school year, and I plan to keep using it in the future. Another important goal I had was to stay focused during class without getting distracted. I made this possible by listening to music when it was appropriate and not sitting with my chatty friends. These strategies really helped me concentrate better and get my work done more efficiently. Overall, I do feel like I’m ready for grade 10. The biggest reason I feel confident about this is because I’ve successfully met the goals I set for myself and have developed better habits and time management skills.

Thank you for listening to my Tpol of 2024
