Normally for each project we’ll be connecting ideas. Usually from a historical event or series of events, and seeing how they can connect to today in order to gain a deeper understanding of what society can learn today from events of the past. By this point, term 3 of grade 12, that’s pretty much routine. […]

So, we’re back here again. This is the final time I will ever do this. This is my fifth of five midyear presentations of learning. This one I want to make a bit different. Instead of just walking through my work so far and talking about what I’m proud of and what I need to […]

Welcome back to the blog with the most confusing array of content. Today I will be capping off the horror project that seems to be going on forever. Don’t worry it’s done, this is a reflective post. Before I deconstruct the project allow me to show you the movie. Well, kind of. It’s a trailer […]

In this, our fist unit of the year we are tackling the question ‘How can we create animated shorts that use “The Taming of the Shrew” to explain the the social, cultural, intellectual, and emotional settings that shaped people’s lives and actions in the past?’ So, to begin allow me to show you How to Tame […]

Every winter and spring for my last 3 years in PLP we always do an exhibition. This can mean a lot of things, this past December we interviews the public, a couple years ago the now grade 12s made a play/interactive experience about WWI. No matter what though, at least once a year we do […]

This unit was a long, difficult, multi layered unit. There were three main topics that all combined to make one big project. Those three topics were learning about the structure of and how to debate, reading the book Lord of the Flies and we learned about the worlds political systems, with a heavier focus on […]

So, here we go again. It’s that time of year where I stand in front of my teachers and parents and try and make a bridge between the teachers, me and the parents. And this is the one where I tell you why I should be in the program based on what I have done […]

Every grade 10 has to do a job shadow. If they are in PLP or not. Most people will take what is easy though, people their parents know, maybe a close family friend who has a job that they find kind of interesting. I didn’t do that. I got in contact with my boss/training partner/family […]

This project started as a normal project. We had to pick three different cell phone plans, what you had to pay for how much data and what the overage costs were. But, Kyle and I decided to do it differently. We wondered, what would it cost to buy and maintain three different exotic animals? So, […]
