European settlement

In class we finished our project on European settlement. The driving question for this project was “what did European settlement mean to everyone involved?”. We came to the conclusion that European settlement resulted in the Europeans and First Nations trading goods and services. The goods they trade have changed over time, but the economic relationship has remained similar! Our task was to create an info graphic about the 3 groups we learned about, the French, the British, and the First Nations.

Milestone 1:
In milestone 1, we wrote a paragraph about the continuity and change of Deep Cove in last 100 years. The fun thing about this was that is we got to go outside and sit in the forest to write it!

Milestone 2:
For milestone 2, we had to think of 3 changes, and 3 continuity’s from the time of settlement

Milestone 3:
For milestone 3 we had to come up with our facts for our info graphic. We needed a fact for each group during the time of settlement. We also had to create a drawing for each group.

Milestone 4:
Milestone 4 was our final info graphic. After many revisions due to the drawings not matching the aesthetics, grammar, punctuation, etc., we finally finished our info graphic. We also had to make a YouTube video explaining our info graphic.

Milestone 5:
For this milestone, we put up our info graphic. Kwosen and I put our info graphic up at Seycove’s front door.

This project helped us navigate through different apps such as keynote and Canva easier and grew our understanding on European settlement!

Aaaaaaand the Student Blogging Challenge has come to an end.

I feel this has been a cool way to connect with my buddy up in Oregon who plays college baseball, Gabe Skoro!

My favourite post was definitely the music post. I got to write about one of my favourite artists, Plus Crier, but there’s an epic plot twist,, Plus Crier isn’t real! If you wanna read more about that go to the blog post!

 

I thought the blogging challenge was really fun because I really got to write what I feel, even if we were given a topic, we would write our opinion on it. And as I mentioned before, it gave me a chance to connect with my buddy Gabe! I also discovered that people in Jordan, Argentina, Australia, and Brazil are looking at my blog!

I also liked the blogging challenge because I learned how to do a lot of new things with my blog.  My favourite thing I learned was how to put a globe tracker on my blog so I can see who is viewing my blog!

Well, that’s about it for now, hope you enjoyed reading! Bye 👋

DI post

What’s good lads? Tonight I will be talking about the Destination Imagination tournament we did in class! Don’t worry, this will not contain an April Fools day prank.

What is Destination Imagination?

Destination Imagination is a global tournament where you are put in groups. All groups have a different subject, Fine Arts, Science, Engineering, and Technical. Each one would have a different project. I was in the Fine Arts group and what we had to do was make a music video based off a story. The story that “we” chose was the story of Alice In Wonderland.

One if the big rules is that everything had to our own work or ideas. We couldn’t have help for parents or teachers and had to make the costumes, music, etc. If your team broke that rule they would be eliminated from the tournament.

we also had to choose 2 team elements. Team elements are kinda like a special skill someone on your team has that you can use in the video.

and of course,, we had to make a video

Overall I found this to be pretty stressful but when your group got on a roll, it could be pretty fun.
