I missed school… To go to school!!!
Hi everyone! I just experienced a full work day on UBC campus with my mum!
You may be wondering what I’m talking about, let me explain real quick…
Taking Your Kids To Work Day
We heard about 1 week in advance that we would be attending on Wednesday Nov 6 a workday with an adult! So in case you are still confused when you are in grade 9 you get to go to work with an adult and in this case I went to UBC campus with my mom.
Driving Question 🏎️:
The driving question of this project was “How can experiencing a workday shape our view of career choices?” My answer to the driving question was that these opportunities can really help us see what we want to do with our life by seeing what we do and don’t like about certain things while we are out there. For example if we see that our parents job has a lot to do with sitting in an office and doing paperwork all day, you may not like that at all so then when you look for future jobs you may try to look away from that.
But… Why?
The reason we were doing this is so that we could get out there and experience new things like going and spending a day with our parents! The task we were given to do on this workday was to record and take pictures of as many things as we can (IN LANDSCAPE). The reason we did this is because we were going to make a video that would be published to YouTube on our entire day and the experiences we had!
Criteria:
This was the criteria given to us to follow for when we make our video. It includes things like the different kinds of shots that we had to take which was:
Time Lapse
Change Of Speed (Slowmo)
Freeze Frame
We also had to include things like voice overs and photo overlays and music of some sort (copyright free).
My Take Your Kid To Work Day Video ⭐️
Although this video was a bit longer than the time given to us 😬 I had so much fun crafting and editing and gathering the footage! I really have liked this point we have reached in our Maker and PGP classes which is video crafting because it so amazing seeing our end result after hours of hard work put into it. And trust me, its always worth it. 😁
Highlights ✨:
My highlights were definitely seeing the fossils in the anthropology lab because it was crazy seeing how old so many fossils really were! I also loved seeing how the students were actually using those fossils to advance their learning and how they used them actively in the classroom. Another highlights was walking around UBC because I know that I hope to go to UBC in the future and it was just fun and interesting to walk around along with other students and teachers.
Thank You’s! 🙏
After this amazing day that we have experienced it almost rude not to say the biggest thank you ever! Everyone who attended a day like mine wrote back an email to say thank you to whoever they shadowed and this email thanked them for everything they did for us such as for me:
Conclusion:
In conclusion these experiences have been so fun and new! I have never gone to work with my mom before so it was really fun experiencing that for the first time. I really enjoyed shadowing my mom at her job and I also have enjoyed crafting my TYKTWD Video (scroll up ⬆️). Like I said seeing these end products that we had spent so long on is so rewarding and I have really enjoyed this video crafting we have been doing recently. In conclusion these experiences have been so fun and rewarding and I hope to do it again soon.
Thank you so much for reading and stay posted for the next post! 👍
